Is your spouse driving you half crazy with the things he/she does that make no sense to you (and you can’t figure out why these habits would make sense to anyone)?

“Even if I’ve never met you, I know one thing is true about you: you’re married to an imperfect mate. And here’s the spiritual reality that flows from this difficult truth: even though our mate disappoints us and hurts us, the Bible still calls us to respect and appreciate our imperfect spouse.

“This is true whether you’re a husband (1 Peter 3:7) or a wife (Ephesians 5:33). How do we do this, in a practical sense? How can we honestly and sincerely respect and appreciate someone who is so imperfect?”

The statements above come from a terrific article, written by Gary Thomas (which is actually titled, Feeling Let Down?). It was featured in the Spring 2007 issue of Marriage Partnership Magazine www.marriagepartnership.com.

The above statement may seem a bit puzzling and radical, but we encourage you not to close your mind to learning more on this issue. The truth is, you can either do the same thing you’ve been doing, which probably isn’t working or you wouldn’t be searching for help, or you can adjust your thinking and try to look at and approach these “imperfections” in a different way — hoping you will get a better result — a spouse you can better live with.

In the above mentioned article, Gary Thomas makes 7 thought-provoking points which are worth reading! They truly could help to save your relationship!

To read this article in its entirety, we’ll send you directly to the magazine’s web site. Pray first that God will help you to see the problem you’re having with your spouse through His eyes and to teach you what He has for you to apply to your marriage relationship in particular.
