Satan said...He said...She said... but what did God say?

Key to a successful marriage...Marriage is a life long partnership between you, your spouse and God...

Satan said...He said...She said... but what did God say?

The worst thing we can do is point blame! You know... we've all done it and we all know that it does nothing but irritate the situation even more. The word of God never told us to let our spouses know that they are wrong in our fleshly reactions, but in love and meekness will they be won over to a repentant heart...2 Timothy 2:25 Correcting his opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth.

Being a strong person is a knowing of who you are in God and that has all of nothing to do with being independent. I have found in women as they are so called... "independent" they are quick to tell someone "I don't need you" this word independent should never come up toward your spouse (check the meaning I'm sure you'll agree). A woman/man that is strong can be submissive and does not have to go word for word but makes the choice to deal with their spouse humbly. Their cries are unto the Lord in prayer concerning the issue or issues at hand and if and when time permits as the Holy Spirit leads us we can discuss our concerns with our spouse but there is no better correction than that of The Spirit of God... When they come and say " the Lord dealt with me" or you see the change, you're screaming in your spirit...Hallelujah!!!

God desires us to be humble but until we submit (TRULY SUBMIT) our heart to God more than not we are truly operating in a prideful and self righteous way. We need to understand that when we have purpose we are attacked in order to detour our minds from where it should be??? Marriage is a ministry and not off limits for attacks... usually your spouse can stir you up worse than anything or anyone else, so this is a great place for the enemy to start sowing seeds of discord. Cut satan off through prayer and fasting.

(SN: I began to look at my husband as my enemy because I was weak and vulnerable in my mind. I was being deceived so I was unwilling to fight! The warfare in my mind was much more prevalent than truth (God's word not my truth) and this almost destroyed my marriage... but I choose to use that season to encourage God's people to hold on and stand. The word of God is a healing agent and also it will wash you of past hurts)

1 Peter 3:7 Likewise, husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way, showing honor to the woman as the weaker vessel, since they are heirs with you of the grace of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered.

Ephesians 6:13 NLT Therefore, put on every piece of God's armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm.

Key: Do something you haven't done for your spouse since your early years of dating.
