During the series The Vow at Revolution. I thought I’d share some things I’ve learned about marriage, manhood and womanhood, dating, being single, etc. through preaching on this topic multiple times, being married for almost 10 years and through countless premarital and marriage counseling sessions.
One of the most important decisions you make to last in marriage is deciding you’ll last.
While marriage isn’t as simple as simply deciding you’ll stay married for the rest of your life, it does change things. Many of the problems couples face, the arguments, sleepless nights, financial difficulties, sexual issues, etc. don’t go away by deciding to never quit, they are still there. They take on a different tone if you decide they will not stop you from staying married.
You become more willing to work through things, your patience goes up, your willingness to serve, meet your spouse’s needs, etc. go way up if you decide that you are in this for the long haul.
As long as there is a way out, you will find a reason to use it.
