Satan hates marriage because he knows what a blessing it is and how powerfully God can use it to further His kingdom. • Beware that Satan is working double time behind the scenes to kill, steal, and destroy your marriage (John 10:10). • He will try to create confusion, division, and disillusionment. • He will use anyone and everyone. • He will try the front door, back door, and side door. • And he will do everything he can to tear the two of you apart, so be on guard, and don’t give him a foothold (Ephesians 4:27)! • Hold steadily to God knowing that He is greater than any weapon formed against you (1 John 4:4, Isaiah 54:17). • It’s easy to let life pull you in a thousand directions. • There’s always someone and something that needs to be taken care of, but the one person that shouldn’t fall to the back burner is your spouse. • God has entrusted him/her in your care, so make sure you are truly caring for them. • Your marriage simply cannot stand the test of time if you are neglecting it. • You have to invest in it if you want it to be the best. • Caring for, loving, and respecting your spouse are now your primary objectives, and that’s where your loyalty and responsibility must lie. • But also don’t expect your spouse to fulfill the role of God. • Oftentimes we expect our spouse to make us feel valued, loved, and complete. • While our spouse certainly is a source of great joy, encouragement, and love, we must find our true identity, purpose, and fulfillment in Christ alone. • Once we have that strong understanding and truth in our heart, then we don’t chase after the emotional highs and lows that come with seeking things in this world to fulfill us in a way they never can. • Love yourself, and then you can love others. 🥰💕🫶🙏 • Happy Sunday lil lovebirds. - - - #believer #relationships #husbandandwife #christlike #homestead #homesteaders #love
