It make me wonder if marriage is all hard work… Came across this article and thought it might help my married friends who are going "stale" marriage situation crisis. Whether you are a christian or a non-christian, hope this helps in some ways.
The Word for Today
By Bob Gass
Live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave Himself up for us.
Ephesians 5:2 NIV
Are you afraid that your marriage will never work? Are you thinking of giving up? If so, read the words of this prayer and make them yours today.
"Lord, how can something that started so fresh now seem so stale? Our intimacy is gone. Our love has lost its spontaneity. It all feels so cold and canned. Please, break through this veil of politeness that hides our hushed frustration and despair. Do something!
"Give me the grace to forgive when I face insensitivity. Teach me, because I don’t know how. Help me to realise that I’ll always have to love an imperfect person - and so will they.
"Today I feel like I’m learning so much about Your unconditional love for me, as I try to reach out to someone who’s so out of touch with where I am.
"You are the Potter and we are the clay. Take this relationship that seems so marred and make it over again. Fashion us for each other. Breathe life into it. Allow us to be friends once more: to love, to laugh, and to play together, for I miss the way it used to be.
"Thank You for knowing what to do with our hearts. Today I declare by faith that there will be a change because of You. Amen."
