Dealing With Relationship Problems (Part 2)



The marriage institution was established by God and problem arises in marriages, when couples do not follow the set principles established by the Creator. It is a general phenomenon that failure arises from disobedience. There are consequences when man goes against earthly laws, and the same applies to Godly laws. To be happy we need to let God’s word prevail in our lives and homes. And in doing so, God will bless our marriages. One effective means of dealing with marital problems is through prayer. Prayer is one way of submitting challenges that are bigger than us to our Creator. Where our abilities ends, the Almighty can step in. It most times difficult to change a partner, but through prayers things can change for good.



If your marriage needs improvement, apply the right tools in addition with prayers, and be patient. Success does not happen overnight. This is an established principle by the Almighty. Even when your partner is not willing to do what is right, make sure you fulfill your own righteous part. Regardless of what your spouse does, you need to keep on the right track with your Creator. Don’t sit and wait for your partner to do what is right before you do what is right. The truth is that the number one person you can control is yourself, others will always adjust based on your behavior. In marriage one partner has to take the leadership but not controlling role. Leadership here means living by good examples and taking the initiative to do what is right. In marriage the control of emotions is very important. The bible let us to understand in Proverbs 29: 11 Fools vent their anger, but the wise quietly hold it back. Think of the consequences of your action before you take them. Ask yourself, what I am about to do or say will it be pleasing to my partner? Will my action help to sustain or put apart the marriage? Is my action worth the conflict and problem that will result? In settling marriage problems one should be willing to adjust his/her standpoint. Dealing with sinful habits in marriage needs intelligence. Before you criticize your spouse make sure that you also stand aright, otherwise it be a case of pointing accusing finger on each other. “Two wrongs cannot make a right”.




Sinful habits are to be discussed. Admission, confession and repentance from a wrongful habit is very important. Love is humble, so in confession and in forgiveness, humility should come forth instead of pride. Confession, repentance and forgiveness should be unconditional else the sinful habit will continue. Confession comes from the recognition of sin, repentance is taking the right steps from the wrong.
