Experience Friendship: Desire To Have A "Dream Marriage" -- Step 3
For the last 2 weeks, we’ve talked about:
- Renewing your desire to have a "great marriage"
- How to work a t doing what God’s asked you to do to move closer to that dream marriage.
Now it’s time to realize that having the dream marriage is not a destination, but a journey. There is never going to come a day where you wake up and say “wow, we’ve arrived at a great marriage, now we're done!”
You’re not done, you're actually far from it, but you have the main necessity's in place! The "great marriage" relationship is a journey. It’s a process that needs CONSTANT ATTENTION to keep from slipping back to where you were when you started this.
Continue feeding your marriage with what you're learning from God’s word. Just like your body, your marriage needs CONSTANT NOURISHMENT.
Be consistent and do those things to show love to your spouse…even when you don’t feel like it or when your husband or wife doesn’t deserve it. (Ephesians 4:1-6)
As you keep up the consistency, you’ll find that you no longer “work” at it, because you both have changed the way your living to line up with God’s thinking. When you get to this point, loving your spouse the way God intended is not as difficult, because you've created a "Godly" habit.
Keep up the good work and remember that God wants you to have that great, "Dream Marriage."
