We live in the days where persons shout “I’m a survivor”! persons are surviving fires, floods, earthquakes, accidents, sickness & disease, wars, attacks, abuse and the list can go on and on. But the question is today how many marriages can strongly announce without wavering “I too am a survivor”. Yes they may have gone through heartaches, pains, disappointments you name it - marriages have been through it. The testimonies of these survivals are locked in the vault of their success stories. But yet there are some who are barely maintaining, barely treading water, hanging by the thread of their vows pondering in the mind can our marriage make it through. The answer is yes it can, if you both make the conscience decision to move past yesterday and wait on tomorrow but live in today.
It begins with Mental preparation:
The mind is very critical to survival. You must have a mindset that you are going to make it no matter what. If there is a doubt inside the mind then the mind will manifest what it holds to be true, doubt is a strong element, doubt will diminish truth. Doubt will overshadow your ability to think, thereby leaving one with clouds of uncertainty. Doubt will cause one to have limited vision, limited mobility, and limited power. Once doubt takes up its residency it begins its journey to invade your peace. In order to survive one must be steadfast in their mind with an assurance they are going to make it! Without this positive thinking the end is doomed from the start. Change the way you think and you will change the way you live.
Seek a Refuge that you may become refreshed and restored! Separation from the normal everyday living is just what the doctor ordered! Every “Body” needs a break, and every marriage longs for a Refreshing. This adds power, freshness, vitality, and energy back to the marriage.
Reignite the Fire of Passion
Fire is a much needed tool in survival! Passion is not a byproduct in marriage it is one of the most important elements in keeping the love alive. It’s never too late to strike a spark that will ignite a flame. Fire purifies, it cleanse, it aides in healing and it burns off the old dross.
Many are victors of “Marital Survival”, have made it through the rough waters and have managed to regroup, rededicate and rekindled their love. Often spoken are the fatalities of marriage, less shared are the Survivors in Marriage.
We take this moment to celebrate all who refused to throw in the towel, whose mindset was never give up, who endured against all odds! Any and Everyone has their day of celebration and honor but what about the Survivors in Marriage who overcame by the Blood of the Lamb and the Word of their testimony shall encourage those who still believe that “what God has joined let no man tear apart”!
What a Passion, Marriage. It’s still one of the most fulfilling covenants on earth.
