Courage in Our Marriages

One of the biggest obstacles to our marriage is selfishness. To overcome our own selfishness , it may take a little personal courage . Why do I say that courage is needed? Well, mainly because most of our lives, we focused on our own needs , our desires and our own plans. Marriage completely changes that. With marriage , we become other -centered . We should focus on our partner and our relationship instead of focusing solely on ourselves. That is of course if you want to have a good marriage.

Selfishness can always try to force their way into your mind and actions , but you can still beat him and put him to death . Sometimes , especially in the face of disappointment or dissatisfaction, you can start to feel justified to be selfish . Even in these cases , however, you must deal with these thoughts and voices trying to guide actions in selfishness . Jesus tells us in Matthew 7:12 "So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you ... "Also in 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 says," For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds , casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ ... " We always have the courage to do what is just down every thought and imagination that is harmful to our marriage and bring them to obedience to what is pure and true , bring them to the obedience of Christ.

Lust and perversion are two forces that seek to destroy our marriage too. In our society, it takes courage to face these forces because many times you can feel like you are going against . Like a salmon upstream , fighting lust and perversion often go against the company and average people .

Now , the desire to maintain purity and marriage will make you stand out . It will make you separate yourself from certain situations and certain conversations. When a group of people are involved in the perverse speech or speech , or watch something perverse in a magazine or online , it may take courage to walk away and not participate in their activities . You must be ready to fight for their purity and her own wedding . You may feel as if their names are not lost or seems that you are better than them . If you feel this way you will help to remind you that we do not want to be better than others , just want to be better period . Better than we were yesterday , last week , last year, and so on. Also remember that what you are advocating is much more important and brings a lot more rewards than just looking cool with the guys. Be a man and stand up for what is right . Never let anyone corrupt. Proverbs 11:03 says: " The integrity of the upright guides. Perversenessof But the rebels destroy "

Another area where we can have the courage to be able to admit that we were wrong in our spouse. This is something that many of us struggle with . It usually takes a little courage , because when we admit that we are wrong , especially our spouses, we may fear that we open for shock and shame. One might think that since it is our partner , we feel more comfortable admitting when we are wrong . Unfortunately, I think a lot of times thereby increases the fear and sense of failure because many men do not want to be a failure in the eyes of your spouse. On the surface it may seem a compelling reason , but the truth is just an excuse for our foolish pride. They usually have a lot of courage to bring down our pride and do what you know is right , apologize . If a lot of courage is needed or not , the end result is that when we have done something or said something he should not have , we must provide outright apology. Remember that your partner is not your enemy and own up to your mistakes can increase unity and intimacy between the two .

It is important to know that God has given us what we need, thriving marriages successful . However, the courage and faith to trust the gifts he has given us is necessary. Have the courage and faith in humility , love and purity lead our marriages a good place . We can do it, and when we do, we will have better marriages and become better men.
