Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ! Rom 1:7
Marriage is a marathon, not a sprint. This is hard to swallow if you are a sprinter. For even a half marathon would seem too long. For others, a 10K seems about all they can commit to. But the Lord calls everyone to honor his or her marriage vows until death. So we must surrender to Him, and trust that the Divine Trainer ☺ will teach us how to complete the marathon with joy.
First, we must have faith.
Faith is the realization of what is hoped for and evidence of things not seen. Heb 11:1
We must never lose hope.
Hold firm and take heart. Hope in the Lord! Ps 27:14
We must always act with love.
Above all, let your love for one another be intense, because love covers a multitude of sins. 1Peter 4:8
And as prayer warriors, we must always pray not only for self, but for others.
Pray without ceasing. 1 Thes 5:17
As we pray for marriages, let us humbly ask that the fruits of the Spirit be the flowers given along the running path to all who commit to the marathon.
The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Gal 5:22
Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet
