HOW TO SAVE MY MARRIAGE BIBLE STUDY ON FORGIVENESS
MANY MARRIAGE MISTAKES

I’m so glad that you decided to keep walking and talking with me. Your efforts will soon be rewarded. We have learned from the last page that we should be very careful when playing the blame game or judging others when it involves something as intimate and sacred as marriage.

When we sense problems within our marriage, we need to seek out the ROOT of the problem After talking with thousands of souls about failing and failed marriages, it has become painfully obvious that the number one source of and reason for failure in a marriage, began with the state of Loneliness in one or both of those within said marriage. Many entered a marriage because they were lonely and many others became lonely while in the marriage.

So, let us begin there.

LONELINESS

Are you tired of being alone because you are single? Are you married and lonely, even with your spouse in the same room? Are you looking to never have your marriage fall into the same trap of the mind and heart?

The problem with being lonely, besides the obvious feeling, is that being lonely leaves us vulnerable. The world offers MANY lures for those who are experiencing this and the enemy of our soul has no problem whispering his lies of greener grass on the other side of the fence, to those who get lonely in a marriage.

In an effort for the soul to avoid being lonely, many seek to meet someone else as to fill the void within. It usually starts off as seeking a friend to talk to. Even with married souls, it oft times begins as an "innocent chat" with a stranger ... Tho there are some married souls who, deep within, premeditate and hope that the newly found friendship will escalate into something more.

The problem is when single souls are lonely and seek someone, most of the time, they appear to be what you seek at first, but soon they change and you find yourselves staying with them out of some sort of convenience, obligation or habit.

Then, after wasting months and even years of our life ... THE RELATIONSHIP ENDS ANYWAY.

But, does this mean the marriage was not to be?

Or is it the day to day negative reactions and emotions changing the spirit of the marriage?

Despite the TRUTH ... After this, many souls become encaged by fear due to those past negative experiences in marriage and they create a wall, an armor of sorts, around the heart to protect it from the potential of being hurt again. Some even become bitter towards any soul who approaches them with any type of interest in fear they will be hurt. The trust factor is in shambles.

On the other hand, some choose the other path of pride, anger and bitterness and make foolish choices, which causes more pain, sorrow and even shame.

This applies to the married souls as well and they unleash this misery on their spouse, family and everyone around them when their spirit is negatively affected by negative thoughts.

DIVORCE IS USUALLY THE OUTCOME

Then after a period of fear, doubt, anger, misery, scorn and/or vengeance which has them make even more foolish choices, they discover that the void within is not being filled ... They begin to set forth to find love again. The past failure haunts them. If they have children, it is even worse because they have to defend their children's little hearts, as well as their own. It can become lonely and cause one to lose faith in themselves, others and even love itself.

During all this, we know deep inside that God did not intend for us to be in such misery.

We know that God did intend for us to be happy in our marriage.

This brings us to another problem and that is the sexual desires of one or both, not being satisfied by the other. This is not a new thing ... But, it IS something that needs to be addressed.

You see, it is written in God's Word that those who have sexual passions should marry as to avoid fornication.

The Corinthians were surrounded by sexual temptation. Sounds like today’s world huh? We can’t watch a commercial, drive past a billboard, walk into a store, without hearing, seeing or being exposed to sexual temptations. Knowing this, we should be more understanding of our spouse's exposure to these lures and resulting need for sexual fulfillment. So let's discuss this a lil bit, shall we?
