In Romans 8:28, we read that "all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." Married couples will encounter storms that sway left and right and with challenges that feel like betrayals, but when you allow Jesus to be the anchor, no storm can destroy what God has joined. What if we viewed those betrayals the way Judas played a role through the betrayal of Jesus? It is not a matter of if, but when we encounter trials in a marriage. Do you feel you have the spiritual maturity to see it as "all things will work out for the good of those who love him"?
You must be ready and anticipate moments when the individual you share life with tests your faith and commitment. These "Judas Moments" will bring pain and suffering, but they can also strengthen you and push you towards victory. While hardships are challenging, they can refine your character and deepen the bond with your spouse if you allow God to use them for His Glory.
I invite you to take a moment to reflect and identify a conflict in your marriage to use it as a conversation starter and discuss it openly, embrace it as a part of growing and a step closer to victory.
