3 Truths Behind the “Secret” to a LONG and HAPPY MARRIAGE

1. Every marriage will have struggles, so we need to be ready and willing to work through the hard times that will most certainly come our way.

“In this world you will have trouble. But, take heart! I have overcome the world.”

In John 16:33b, Jesus reminds us all that our lives on Earth will have some challenges. But, He also reassures us that we can get through these hard times when we lean on Him and refuse to give up.

This rings true in marriage as well. Even when we are tired and weary, we must lean into one another and work through the struggles we face as a couple–heart-to-heart and hand-in-hand. We aren’t meant to face our struggles alone. Every struggle is OUR struggle in marriage–not his or hers.

Couples who have long and happy marriages aren’t ones who never had a reason to split up; they are the ones who refused to give up on each other when times were hard. And, they sought out and received the help they needed to both make it through AND thrive in their marriage.
