Tim and Kathy Bush will tell you that they didn’t understand what true love was when they first got married.
Both of them sought happiness, not in each other, but in drinking, drugs, affairs, career accomplishment and monetary success. Their focus was on other things and other people instead of their marriage. As a result, both cheated on each other multiple times.
When Kathy and Tim got saved, they committed to change their relationship to reflect God’s plan for them. They believed it was vital to be intentional about how they lived, which meant turning from their old life and connecting in ways that helped them grow closer and thrive. They got serious about reading God’s Word and applying its wisdom to their lives. The transformative event in their relationship came when they realized that the void they felt could only be filled by Jesus, not by their spouse or by anyone else.
It took years of counseling and pursuing the Lord to work through their issues, but eventually their relationship was radically transformed by God.
It won’t be easy, but your marriage is worth fighting for. Through it all, God is faithful and can redeem your relationship. |
