“If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men.”
February 23, 2024
God’s love for us is unconditional. And when the Bible says a husband is to love his wife, God means agape love, which is unconditional. Think about the value of spouses who love one another without condition. You have security in the place of fear. You have peace, which replaces guilt. You have joy that replaces anger.
Some couples reason: It would be better for our children if we got a divorce than for our children to live in this constant fighting. Sociologists have told us divorce is seldom, if ever, a positive factor in the life of a child. If you’re really talking about what is better for the child, I suggest you go ask the children and see what they think about it. You say, “Well, the only two alternatives we have are divorce or constant fighting.” There’s a third alternative: You get your heart right with God, and you stop fighting and don’t seek to excuse it. The Bible says we’re to live peaceably with all people. This certainly includes our marriages.
Ask God to help you to live at peace with everyone.
