You're struggling with what's happening in your marriage. You're struggling with your job, your career.

And so God, God has ordained your marriage as a vessel to sharpen you and sanctify you.”
Joseph Humphreys · An Invitation to Wait“Claire compassion and care but also great clarity from God's word as we need to know what does the bible tell us about marriages I think one of the reason our marriages and our families are struggling today is because we're so easily indwelling and believing lies of our culture John Mark Comer in his book live no lies he's also written ruthless elimination of hurry to my probably top five books we use live no lies when we preached our second Corinthians series and in that book he said this I think we”
· Does Marriage Really Matter?“We doubt God's grace in the struggles of weakness and sickness. We doubt God's justice in the injuries of inequity. We doubt God when our marriages are struggling and failing. We doubt God when our kids are wandering. We doubt God when we're dealing with endless, constant, repetitive pain. We doubt God when we suddenly lose someone that we treasure and love”
David H. McKinley · Responding to Those Who Doubt“or a girlfriend, and I don't yet have one, and so I wish I had what they have. You see others' relationships and think their marriage is filled with ease and blessing, and you look at your own marriage, and it's filled with struggle and fight and conflict. I think this happens in our hearts when we see others praised more than we believe we should be praised. This could be a co-worker, the side-by-side with you that gets promoted over you or before you. We see this with Joseph”
Stephen Newman · Proclamation: Declaring the Goodness of God“have the diagnosis that you were given. They may not have the loss to the extent that you have experienced life.

Zach Clinton · Finding Hope Again“he said that in a fallen world, marriage doesn't solve our emptiness, it exposes it. And if you don't understand that the very thing that you need most is a reconciliation of relationship with Christ, then you will spend your married life struggling to try to find how you can fill your emptiness and you simply won't do it. Being reconciled to God enables us to be reconciled to others.”

And I sit and I listen to them and we're struggling with this and this and this is what's going on. This is what's going on.

And that doesn't mean that that mercy is without standards, our expectations, our responsibilities,”
David H. McKinley · Can I Get Some Respect?“that point, because then we know there's no other option but to follow God. In my marriage, I've been married 54 and a half years now, 54 and a half years. We made that covenant agreement. So there's never been an option, but we're going to work through the challenges and struggles and you know, the differences and whatever it is, because we know that our marriage is on purpose and on mission. So when you're in that kind of a covenant all in agreement, you see your life as your own mission. And I think then that gives your life eternal purpose and direction every day.”
