Bible Verses to Tie Your Marriage Knot Tighter

If you’re honest, sometimes your marriage knot is not as tight and your relationship with your husband is strained. At least that is what I have heard from most married people I know.

Do you find this to be true?

Sometimes you might be tempted to be discontented in your marriage.

We live in a culture where divorce is happening at an alarming rate. I don’t want you to become part of that statistic but instead to work on your marriage for as long as it takes.

In my case, we struggled from the beginning of our marriage. We were young and headstrong and a product of our pasts. Not that our pasts were bad but because we had situations that contributed to our sin-nature.

My husband had mostly been raised in boarding schools on the mission field. In many ways that made it hard on our marriage.

Add to that, ME!

Oh, my!

I don’t know what my excuse should be! I came from a wonderful family. Basically, I was a sinner saved by grace.

BUT . . . grace is seldom something we give ourselves.

God gives grace but as women, we are critical of ourselves and have difficulty accepting that Jesus really did forgive us!

So, we muddled through our marriage.

During the years that I was going through major difficulties in my marriage, the advice our society would have given was to get divorced.

When you can’t stand your marriage any longer, the answer is RARELY to end it!

I thought the problem was my husband!

He thought the problem was me! (It probably was!)

I am thankful that my parents were married 75 Years and still in love!! They passed in 2018 and 2019 only 4 months apart!

When our culture’s answer for a struggling marriage is divorce, it would seem the way out.

How wrong that would have been!

I am thankful that we stayed married through the years until we saw our relationship improving.

During the years when our relationship was the most strained, I went to the Lord when life was difficult

I would cry and cry with my Bible open and praying until my heart found the peace that passes all understanding.
