How can we have a Miraculous Marriage? When Tiffany and I first started out as a couple, we were totally ignorant and hopeless as a couple. We had no idea of what it took to make a marriage work.
We made a decision to learn and to make our marriage work. Now, so many years later, we are still married, and moving forward into even a greater marriage then we thought possible.
Making Jesus Christ the center of your marriage and your life is the basis of what makes a marriage last and improve. With him in your lives, your marriage will be a true testimony to everyone around you of the power of God at work in your lives.
God takes two people who are completely different and designed them to become one. They look, act, think and process differently 100% differently, yet they are to become one.
Very few people actually experience a miraculous marriage and that is why so many families face difficulties and are in trouble today. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
Tiffany and I have learned several things over the years to help us to make our marriage miraculous. When these practical and simple things are in place, your marriage, your parenting ability and your families future will be truly miraculous.
- Share the same vision. Marriages fall apart because they forget that they’re supposed to have a vision. Before we go married Tiffany had a dream. She was running on a track and out of nowhere I came running up next to her in another lane and before we knew it, our two lanes became one. Two visions is division, so live united by one vision.
- Focus on “US” and not “ME”. For marriage, parenting, finances, child raising, ministry, work or any area of life, get the me out of marriage and put the us in marriage. Pray about us, talk about us and dream about us. Keep your focus on you two more than you.
- Learn the power of agreement. The place of agreement is the place of power. When you put yourselves in agreement you put yourselves in the place of power. Agreement is not to not disagree, rather to work out the details of the disagreement in order to come to an agreement. Agreement requires humility. Love seeks to understand rather than be understood.
- Express a giving heart. Couples who give are couples of great joy and fulfillment. Instead of placing the focus of your life on what you can obtain, you focus on how to give. Marriage is more about giving than getting. Marriage relationships go wrong when giving is absent. Givers go to greater levels when they shut out the voice of the devil.
- Time together. Keeping your marriage miraculous, like any type of relationship requires time, effort and contact. Do things together with your spouse. Exercise togetherness and you will build strong togetherness muscles that can not be pulled apart.
