Genesis 2:23-24
“And Adam said, ‘This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.’ Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.”
Frequently we take far too much credit for resolving conflicts than we ought. Here is a case in point. I once ministered as a Christian Counselor. Most of the people that came for counsel lived in the area and I was able to keep regular appointments.
One couple called from over 100 miles away and said their marriage was on the rocks, could they come and counsel with me. I agreed to meet with them but wondered what help I could give in just one session. I prayed for God to answer.
When the couple arrived at my office, they had a silly grin on their face. In the two hours they had spent driving to my office, they had a chance to talk about what had happened to them and what they needed to do to make their marriage work. They gave me their apologies, but they just didn’t need me now.
Wow! That is what I delight to hear. I told them that the next time they had any conflict in their relationship to just go out and drive around for two hours in order to resolve their issues.
Are you seeking harmony in your marriage? Get totally alone for a few hours and allow God to mend the broken relationship.
Blessings dear hearts. Draw near to God today, trust Him completely and be a blessing!
