Marriage is a sacred gift given to us by God for our understanding of spiritual principles. One of which is unconditional love. Allowing ourselves to give and receive unconditional God love from our spouse in the face of disagreements, hurt feelings and daily stress is difficult. We become defensive, distant, and unloving toward our spouse, blocking the flow of God Love. But, it is vital to the health and strength of the marriage to remind yourself that your spouse is a gift. Remind your spouse they are your gift from God and take time daily to show them you honor them as such. There may be times when you don't want to look at your spouse, forget trying to honor them. On those days, make an extra special effort to show your appreciation for them. Remember that those feelings of ambivalence will fade. God is Love and therefore, love will always prevail, if you permit it. Always remember to thank God in your prayers and thoughts for the spouse you have.
Many times God uses our marriage to teach us the lessons we must learn, or to heal the hurts we have suffered. When you are having difficulty with your spouse take a moment to ask what God is showing you. Do you need to learn to be more tolerant? Are you being open and honest with yourself or your spouse concerning your emotions? Are you openly giving and receiving unconditional love? Is there something you need to be doing but are hiding from? God guides us in many ways. We don't always embrace the lessons, many times we fight against them. We should learn to approach these teachings as blessings. Cultivate a sense of thankfulness both to God for bringing the lesson, and to your spouse for allowing God's Love for you to shine.
