I rounded the corner and saw her. She stood frozen, open-mouthed in front of the rows of Bibles in the religion section at Barnes and Noble. She wanted to read the Bible; she hadn’t known there would be so many options.

“‘Abba, Father,’ he cried out, ‘everything is possible for you. Please take this cup of suffering away from me. Yet I want your will to be done, not mine.'”
Mark 14:36 (NLT)
The night before he went to the cross, Jesus prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane. He knew he was going to face torture, suffering, and death on the cross the next day. He didn’t want to go through that pain any more than you or I would want to.
“He went on a little further and fell to the ground. He prayed that, if it were possible, the awful hour awaiting him might pass him by” (Mark 14:35 NLT).

The 10 Unrealistic Expectations that Can Destroy Marriages
.webp)
This year will mark 30 years of marriage for my husband and I. Where does the time go? When we said our vows at the altar on that overcast morning all those years ago, we were young, happy and idealistic. We meant every word we said, but we had no clue how those words would play out over the years. We went through premarital counseling and had the necessary conversations. We even spoke to our pastors periodically for additional insight. As we continued to evolve yet stick to each other through thick and thin, it became apparent how the rose-colored glasses of unrealistic expressions could drain a marriage.
Having expectations is not bad, but choosing to make your expectations your reality without ever considering your reality becomes detrimental. In your mind, your expectations are valid, fair and even reasonable. But you neglect to consider that they don’t only involve you but others around you, in particular, your spouse. Unrealistic expectations won’t destroy your marriage unless you let them, but they can have a damaging impact on your marriage especially if you become a prisoner to your expectations.

One of the most difficult things to face in life is when the church hurts you. Part of the reason it is so challenging is that you expect church to be a safe haven. It’s one thing when people who don’t profess to know Jesus hurt you. It’s an entirely different scenario when those who know Jesus do the same thing. In boxing, there is a saying that the punch that hurts the worst is the one you don’t see coming. For many of us, this is exactly how church hurt feels. It’s the punch you don’t see coming or even expect and that is the one that does the most damage.
If you stay in church long enough, then at some point, you may get hurt. Not because people are trying to hurt you, but because people are human. In their human nature, even though they are Christians, they have the capacity to hurt you. However, this means the same potential lives in you, too. The reality is if you are in church long enough, you could hurt someone, too. So, what do you do when you are the one who has been hurt? The steps you take in the aftermath and how you immediately respond are critical. If you don’t respond correctly, this can set off a chain of reactions that can be difficult to overcome.

“Our love should not be just words and talk; it must be true love, which shows itself in action.”
1 John 3:18 (GNT)
Every marriage—and, really, every relationship—offers many opportunities for adjustments. Your life together will change. Your kids will grow up. You’ll change jobs. You’ll move. You’ll get sick. Life will force you to make adjustments.
And to make these adjustments successfully, you’ll need to become unselfish. In fact, learning to be unselfish may be the greatest lesson God wants to teach you through your marriage.

“Keep your roots deep in him, build your lives on him, and become stronger in your faith.”
Colossians 2:7 (GNT)
You can do many different things to keep your marriage growing. You can show affection, act unselfishly, and forgive each other. But by far the most important decision you and your spouse can make in your marriage is to remain committed to following Jesus together.
The Bible says, “Keep your roots deep in him, build your lives on him, and become stronger in your faith” (Colossians 2:7 GNT). Both you and your spouse may have committed your lives to Jesus at some point, but you need to ask yourself, “Are we continuing to live out our faith as a couple?”
