Title Ephesians 05:22-33 Happy couple
Contents Happy couple (Ephesians 5:22-33)
Today, modern people face many problems. What is more problematic is the fact that there are conflicts and pains in married life. You will see a disastrous state where the divorce rate is at a high level worldwide.
The reason for such a rapid increase in divorce rate is that women have gained economic power by taking part in the professional front due to the increase in the number of women's passports; Because it is tied to the organization. As a result, there is no time for conversation between the couple. Misfortune will sprout.
We Christians should pray with heartbreak in the face of this reality. As a Christian, it is a shameful thing for a Christian to go far away to the moon and to the stars to love his enemies, but not to love his spouse next to him. Today, at this time, I would like to share grace by telling you how we can continue our lives as a happy couple.
1. We must create happiness.
Today's couples are passionate about making money. They run all day and night to make money. However, they don't put much effort into making the couple happy. When parents love their children, there is no need for effort. Even if you do not try to love, you are instinctively made to love. However, happiness between married couples does not happen by chance.
Make a gift. Make a practical effort, such as gifting a bouquet of flowers to the couple or writing a love letter. How will you be loved if you only ask for love from the other person without expressing your love? Marriage is conditional. Don't try to get much, but try to give a lot. Then it comes back as much as you gave. Continue to cherish and love.
2. Have a deep conversation.
How busy this society is that work has deprived us of the opportunity to talk to each other. A wife is a wife, and a husband is a husband, busy and tired. So there is no conversation between the couple. The problem with couples today is the lack of dialogue. Living together is not important. They seem to smile and feel comfortable on the outside, but there is no love that comes from the heart. It is an unfortunate life. That's why we always have to work hard.
Not long ago, I read in the newspaper that an elderly couple who had reached the twilight had divorced by agreement. Even after living together for decades, the couple was not happy. Don't be deceived, take time to help each other, understand, and talk openly.
3. Love is an action and a will, not an emotion.
The reason we are not united and not in harmony is that we are different. As Satan approaches the end times, he works strongly on the couple. This is because if the couple separates, they will fall into the hands of Satan. Therefore, we must always be united in the Lord and give glory to God by having an open mind and conversation.
True love is believing that the spouse you are living with is the best person for you. You are a happy couple when you continue to strive for harmony and love. Happy couples don't happen automatically. When you are born, you are born and raised in a different environment, but when you put up with each other's efforts, hard work, and sacrifice, you become a happy couple.
4. Look at the strengths of the other person, but not the weaknesses.
See the other person's strengths, praise them, and acknowledge them, but don't mention their weaknesses. Here is the difference between a happy couple and an unhappy couple. Rather than pointing out, criticizing, and attacking each other, we should complement each other and cover our shortcomings. That's a couple. That is why it is said that 'love covers all faults'. Love is accepting and accepting the faults of your spouse as they are. The good thing is that anyone can love it.
In order to become a happy couple, we must accept and tolerate each other's faults, even if there is one. This kind of acceptance requires a process, which is a process called forgiveness. If we make mistakes and make mistakes, we need to forgive and forgive each other. To be a happy couple, you have to cover your shortcomings, acknowledge your strengths, and give praise.
So how can we do this?
We must live a life of love, sacrifice and service.
Marriage is a relationship between you and me, not a relationship between you and it or me and it. A happy couple becomes a happy couple when we compliment and encourage each other through yielding and sacrificing. A true Christian life is only when the confession that 'I will marry my current spouse even if I am reborn' can come out of each other's mouths.
Today we are not married to rule over our spouses. You are married to serve, support, and love your spouse. Therefore, if we have any wrong thoughts, we change our thoughts, so I bless you in the name of the Lord that you may enjoy a happy married life.
