"Is there a marriage that doesn't need help?"
Is there a marriage that doesn't need
help? I find that even couples with good marriages recognize that there's room for growth.
And couples with troubled marriages are desperate for improvement. I'm convinced that you
can have a better marriage. I'm also convinced that the key to improving your marriage is
you. Oh, but you don't understand, some of you are thinking. I live with an alcoholic. My
wife is depressed. My husband is abusive. Others of you are thinking, "Well, my
marriage is not that bad." The question is, Do you want to have a better marriage? My
response is, You Can. And it begins with you.
Jesus said: "Why do you keep talking about your
spouses' faults and spend so little time thinking about your own? Don't you know that if
you will begin by cleaning up your own act, you will have a greater influence on your
spouse? First let's deal with your own failures, then you can expect to see change in your
spouse!" That's Matthew 7: 1-5 loosely paraphrased and applied to marriage. This
week, I'll help you flesh out this unique approach to martial growth. But don't forget,
the first step is yours.
