What Was Marriage Never Designed To Be?
Is your marriage a place of crushing pressure or a gift of shared dependence? We explore why even the best marriages face "real realities" like disappointment, insecurity, and hardship, and why these aren't signs of failure, but signs of a real relationship in a fallen world. Designed for couples at any stage, this content reveals the life-changing shift that happens when you stop asking your spouse to be your God and start looking to Christ as your ultimate source of identity, security, and strength.
Questions to Consider
- If you were to honestly assess your heart, are there areas where you have been asking your spouse to provide a sense of worth or security that only God is designed to give?
- How would your daily interactions change if you began to view your spouse's efforts as a "gift" to be appreciated rather than a "source" you are entitled to demand from?
- When facing seasons of temptation or external hardship, do you find yourself turning inward with resentment, or upward toward the Lord for the "way of escape" and the strength to remain present?
- What would it look like for you and your spouse to move from a "Hollywood perspective" of idealized performance to a "Holy Word perspective" of shared dependence on Jesus?
