Are You Willing To Fight For Your Marriage?

"However, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband" Ephesians 5:33

Satan is out to steal, kill, and destroy marriages! I repeat.. SATAN IS OUT TO STEAL, KILL, AND DESTROY MARRIAGES! There are many people getting married, and then divorced within the next year if not shorter than that. It grieves me to see such things, for marriage is not just a ceremony where you get all pretty and say "I do". Marriage is a covenant between you, your husband, and God. You both are standing before God and making a vow to be with each other till death do you part.

Many of us are going ahead of God, and marrying who we feel we want to be with. Not once did we seek God in anything, we automotically assumed that God ordained these marriages. EVERY MARRIAGE IS NOT ORDAINED BY GOD! I am not here trying trying to encourage anyone to leave their spouse. I am only speaking on what i know to be true.

To those who are currently in a marriage and you are on the verge of  giving up keep reading. To those who are not yet married, but soon plan on, keep reading. Marriage is something that God loves. When we are married, we are not fornicating, but in the will of God. A marriage is not what you see on daily TV. That perfect husband works, wife is a stay at home mom. Bills are paid on time every month. Let me stop you right there. There is no such thing as a perfect marriage. And if anyone tells you this, they are telling themselves that to deal with the pain they refuse to allow anyone else to see.

Ephesians 6 states, "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.  Your husband/wife is considered flesh and blood in this scripture. We are warring against the wrong source. We attack and lash out on our spouses, when the real warfare is against the spiritual and demonic forces we with the natural eye cannot see. There is too much dealing with marriage to go into full detail so i will do my best to keep this as short as possible. 

We are called to intercede for our spouses and families at all times. It is the duty of being in a marriage, you are considered one! Satan loves to keep marriages separated, full of anger, lust, etc. He takes control of the minds of the spouses and we attack the spouse, meanwhile satan is destroying all that you have, BECAUSE YOU ARE ALLOWING HIM! There is nothing that God cannot fix, for nothing is impossible with God. God can save that husband or wife that just is not right. the question is, ARE YOU WILLING TO FIGHT FOR YOUR MARRIAGE?

Are you willing to go to war for your spouse, even though they may have fallen out of love with you? You have to be able to stand in the gap for them. And when you pray, don't pray to God the problems with them. Bring to God, what you want to see changed in them. I will say this, since i have experienced this personally. When you bring someone to God asking him to fix them, he will work on you first! There is a change within you that is required FIRST before he even works on them.

Do not give up on your marriage, for God loves unity. God can make a miracle out of that husband/wife that you feel like there is no hope left for. I am a living miracle walking. God will do it, you need to meet him halfway. So i will ask you this question one more time, ARE YOU WILLING TO FIGHT FOR YOUR MARRIAGE? 

If i have enough people willing to read more, i will do a part two, and maybe three extending and explaining a little more in depth.
