Marriage Minute 8-18-2019
When a marriage is missing grace the entire disposition of the relationship changes. Little things cause big fights. Motives are constantly questioned. Tempers are short and often lost. Assumptions are always made. Conclusions are frequently jumped to. Husbands and wives consistently lead with anger. The past is always brought up. The score is always kept. When grace is missing from a marriage, three words dominate that relationship: You. Owe. Me. For example, A lack of grace will cause a husband to be furious with his wife for going to a different gas station. A lack of grace will cause a wife to notice all that her husband does wrong and not see all he does right. It is easy to give grace to others and refuse to give it to your spouse. You can’t show grace to someone you are trying to make pay. If you want to see change and improvement in your marriage, take a few minutes this week to think about how messed up and imperfect you are. . . and how God loves you anyway. That is grace. When couples try to correct their behavior or change their communication patterns, but do so without grace, those changes are temporary and exhausting. Grace is the starting point from which all change is made. When you connect your heart to the grace of God, it becomes much easier to dispense that grace to the person you love the most.
