READ: Matthew 19:3-12
“Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.” – Matthew 19:6
Never change your mind about your spouse. Do not allow your wounds and hurts to lead you into deception. All other options you may have on your mind will hurt you just as much as this marriage has. You do not have an option. Stay with what God has given you to the very end.
John Wesley was a good example of this. He had a difficult marriage but he stayed married to the same woman to the end of his life. Even though he was separated from his wife, he remained married to her. Marriage is for a lifetime. Good or bad, God expects you to forgive and walk in love. Watch out for people who do not forgive and forget.
“For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses” (Matthew 6:14-15).
There are two common wounds experienced by pastors: The wounds inflicted by ungrateful and disloyal people and the wounds of marriage. It is unbelievable how soon people forget to what extent you have been a blessing to them. They turn on you. Many ministers cannot handle the ingratitude and disloyalty of people. It actually becomes the downward turning point of their lives and ministries.
