Steps to Becoming One Again

We know that a one-sided marriage is not God’s plan for marriage. We know that our purpose in everything that we do is to honor God. We know some causes and signs of a one-sided marriage.

We know God has the answers that we need for healing. He is the One who can restore, support, and strengthen you, your spouse and your marriage. He has walked through our suffering with us and now God is the One who can place us on a firm foundation. He will help you overcome your fears and strengthen you. He will help you love each other like He loves each of you.

With that as our foundation, let’s look at the steps to becoming one again.

• Set a time for the two of you to talk when you will not be interrupted or distracted.
• Pray for God’s wisdom and guidance.
• Share why you are concerned and share your feelings. Do not blame your spouse. Just get things on the table.
• Now let your spouse share their concerns.
• Share what you would like your marriage to be.
• Now let your spouse share their ideas of what they would like your marriage to be.
• Each of you decide on one thing that you will work on that will improve the marriage.. This is not what your spouse will work on but what you will work on.
• Commit to meet each week to discuss your progress and next step.
• If you get stuck, do not give up. Together seek out a Christian Counselor, make an appointment and go!

Jesus told us in John 15:12, “This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.” Jesus laughs with us and cries with us. He loves both of you more than you could ever imagine. He has an amazing plan for your marriage, and would love to heal and restore it.

Today’s Challenge:

• Write out today’s Bible verses and keep them with you. Reference them each day. Let God write them on your heart.
• Begin going through the steps above together.
