Grace challenges us all. How to make a marriage last thru the tests of time…………….

 Grace, it invites us to transform. Each day we fall short of the grace God freely gives us. We are grumpy that our spouse didn’t put their dirty cup in the sink befor they headed off to work. Or, we got short with them when they didn’t agree with something we said.

Grace says, do not stay where you are but instead follow the call of God.

"For God so loved the world he GAVE……."

When you love someone you give your life for them. You lay it all down..

addiction, selfishness, money, perfection, (insert yours here)….

Pretty much all of the time the call of living your lives the way God calls you to isnt going to be easy. It will require great surrender and even more trust.

Marriage invites another into your good, bad and ugly, day after day-and still loving them anyway. All the while choosing to stay and fighting for your "ALWAYS & FOREVER"!

God did not design marriage to be comfortable. He designed it to be transformative. It is never a coincidence or mistake when we see the weakness or failure of our spouse. God loves our spouse so much more than we do that He has opened our eyes, minds and hearts to know their needs and be His tool.

To share His transforming grace.

We need exposure for transformation.

Seek the goodness of God and never ever give up at the same time.

Until next time, stay Anchored in Love & Guided by Faith!

Perfectly Imperfect,

Sam & Ron
