First let me preface this post by saying am I in no way condemning anyone who is divorced. We all make mistakes/sin and sometimes "Christians" like to sit in judgement of our brothers and deem their sins to be worse than ours. Some did not have any desire to be divorced but had it thrust on them.
After reading a post on a different thread it amazes me our country even manages a 50% marriage rate.
As Christian men I sure hope our actions and feelings towards our wives don't match with what seems to be the norm socially.
Of course we know that God has to take top priority in our married lives for both our wives and us. Secondly I urge my young married brothers to make it your spiritual mission to make your wife your best friend!! If she is not petition God that he will change both your hearts until this takes place. I'm sure a marriage could survive without being best friends, but assure you if your wife is really your best friend and God is both your focus that your marriage won't just survive it will thrive. There is no better gift that you can provide for your childrens lives than a solid Christian marriage of their parents!
It amazes me how many young husbands can quote Ephesians 5:22-23. Yet how few can quote God's command in Ephsians 5:25.
If you are a young or newly married Christian man surround yourself with Godly married men that can help you, hold you accountable, and pray with you.
Being the Godly leader of your family God wants and the Christian man your wife deserves is worth every bit of "sacrifice" required.
God bless our Christian marriages. They are the only hope our nation has!
