How to heal your marriage with the scriptures
1. Understand your role
I have found out that the most common reason for a failed marriage is negligence of duty.
By negligence I mean, a husband or wife’s disregard for his or her role in the family.
God has designated our roles in the scriptures, and it is quite easy to forget because of the new world order.
The world currently teaches equality for both men and women in marriage, but that’s far from God’s plan.
The Bible is clear that the head of the family is the man.
In other words, the man leads, and the woman follows (not the other way round).
God said to Eve,
Your desire will be for your husband,
and he will rule over you.”
And in the new testament, Paul said the same thing
But I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man,[a] and the head of Christ is God.
So, it’s that simple.
The woman must always be submissive to her husband.
His decision is final.
Nevertheless, there is nothing wrong with carrying the family along.
I took this path, and it was disastrous for my marriage.
My wife didn’t like it, and I had to make changes quickly for my marriage to work.
If we learn our roles and accept them, there is likely no reason for our marriages to fail.
2. We must forgive
There is no way any marriage can exist without forgiveness.
We are not perfect; so also is our spouses.
Therefore, we must learn to forgive as quickly as possible.
In the very early stages of my marriage, I noticed forgiveness was an issue.
And as each day passes, I noticed that anything my wife does annoys me.
I couldn’t just forgive and let go because her actions bitterly hurt me.
But as soon as I learned to forgive, and do it quickly, happiness returned.
To save your marriage, you will need to make sacrifices.
You must forgive and always try to mend fences.
And the scriptures support this too.
Jesus told his disciples,
So watch yourselves. “If your brother or sister[a] sins against you, rebuke them; and if they repent, forgive them. 4 Even if they sin against you seven times in a day and seven times come back to you saying ‘I repent,’ you must forgive them.”
3. You must move on from the past
Yes, I noticed this was one of the reasons things got even worse in the early stages of my marriage.
I tried to forgive but couldn’t let go.
And even though I had every right to feel sad and angry, it was a wrong move.
Each time we had a little quarrel, it quickly degenerated into a serious one.
I was always bringing up her past flaws to back up my point.
But as soon as I learned to let go, things began to improve in my home.
This has been our secret so far.
4. Do not cheat on your spouse
There is no reason to cheat on your spouse.
Just no reason in this world.
In such cases, God allows divorce, and it is entirely scriptural.
But we can also forgive.
If you love your spouse and he/she is remorseful for his/her actions, forgive if you can, and let go.
5. Husbands love your wives
It is quite challenging to understand what the scripture means by loving your wife.
If women should be submissive, men must love their wives.
You can get it both ways where you treat your wife badly and yet want them to be submissive.
We must obey the scripture and play our roles perfectly to the glory of God.
