I sometimes shudder to think that there are some people who see their marriage as battle fields and are always in a struggle to come out the winner. It is sad. God teaches us that the marriage union is a symbol of the relationship between Christ and His church. We see nowhere in the Bible Christ in competition with His church but He always gives unselfish love. Christ died for His church and He promises life eternal for His church! He seems to be the one giving and giving and giving. What unselfishness!
My sisters we are not at war with our husbands. We are partners in this marriage. The environment that we live in has made us to be generally competitive in almost everything. We want to be the one to say the last word; we want to be the last man standing. Marriage won’t work with such a spirit.
Love your husband unselfishly, putting their desires even before yours (in the Lord of course). God’s people are distinguished by this unselfish love for it can only be achieved through the Holy Spirit. [Gal 5:22]
