What should a person do in a difficult marriage?
Pray harder, repent more and forgive often.
No marriage is perfect and no marriage is without troubles, anyone who thinks they can achieve a perfect marriage is going into it blindfolded, expecting something out of their spouse they have no right to expect.....and that is perfection.
When we go into marriage knowing and admitting that we will need to learn and change ourselves, that is when we can grow a relationship, while our focus is not what we can get out of marriage, but what we can offer.
It takes self sacrifice and humility to strengthen a marriage. We learn this as we go, no one goes into marriage knowing exactly how to do it, in fact we all go in with pies in our eyes thinking we are so special our spouse should feel blessed to have us. This thinking is the beginning of a disaster waiting to happen.
Choose a person who has the character God describes in His Word and then go into the marriage to serve not just to get. Expect nothing and give all you have.
