Have you ever asked yourself this question?
Or, if you aren't married, why are you in the relationship you are in, just change the words a little bit to why do you want to get married?
I'm asking because some people make choices and don't really know why they made them. So, if things start to go wrong, the whole relationship falls apart quickly because the initial foundation wasn't strong enough.
Think about a house made of cards. It might be extremely impressive, but one wrong blow of exasperation and the whole shebang is destroyed. All that time spent, all those plans made and all that effort goes down the drain because it was made with flimsy material.
The reason does matter.
Romans 8:28
"And we know that God causes everything to work together
for the good of those who love God
and are called according to his purpose for them."
Not too long ago, my husband told me that he married me because I was pregnant. He did love me and he did eventually want to marry me, but he wasn't ready, and it was evident in his attitude toward our relationship. Of course, this hurt me a lot. I felt like our entire marriage was a lie. I married him because I was on love with him and wanted to be his wife. To know that his reasons were the total opposite made me rethink our entire relationship. I felt as though I had been deceived. Our marriage was built on the wrong foundation, and after that, the foundation continued to crumble and so did the marriage. But God knew what He was doing. He had to break the whole thing down so that the foundation could be set correctly.
Please understand, that issues will arise, but God knows the issue before it even presents itself. He know when it will start, what will happen and how it will end. It may start off bad and seem even worse for a while, but God will work it all our for your good and for His glory.
Don't think that things magically got better either. We had to build this sucker back up brick by brick. But now the foundation is solid. It won't fall over when a breeze comes through, and it stand up pretty well against the storms we had so far.
Why did you get married? Has your foundation stood the tests of time?
2 What Do You Think?:
The questions often ponder and assurance of being wanted is often requested but a true foundation is very important rather marriage relationship, christian relationship or even with self. The real reason of why my husband married me is not exactly the same as mine but knowing that he loves me and we have battled the storms makes me look back and Thank GOD for giving me the strength to stand against the storms. Do I get frustrated YES, I often get discouraged because I feel he should show it differently and more.
It's definitely! Being wanted and desired is a major part of wifestyle. Sometimes our husbands don't show us the way that we would like, but like I say, we have to watch for what they do to show it. Me. Show love for their wives in their own ways. They have to grow to the place where they can consider our feelings, just like we have to grow to a place where we can accept their form of love for us. Staying dedicated to weathering storms with him shows just how stron your foundation is. Thanks for reading and sharing :)
