A couple’s marriage was crumbling; the husband’s heart had morphed to stone. He had dearly loved her for years, but now struggled to demonstrate it in the way she recognized. As insecurity grew, he assumed he could never please her. He stopped trying … and eventually left.
In doing an autopsy of her marriage, the wife realized that starting in the infancy of her marriage she got into the habit of believing the worst of her husband, rather than the best. She believed that he was deliberately trying to hurt her … because he didn’t care. Of course, the husband contributed to the crumbling of the marriage as much if not more. This couple’s story becomes a powerful teacher for you and me. How often do we question the motives of our spouses? How many times do we believe the “evil” and not the “good”?
Proverbs 11:27 tells us: “If you search for good, you will find favor; but if you search for evil, it will find you!” This Sunday, we’ll look at the topic of marriage and divorce. Whatever your relationship status, there will be a word that pertains to you.
