Have you ever found yourself worrying that you and your spouse were growing apart? I think everyone has this fear at some point in their marriage. Maybe you feel like you aren't talking enough or maybe it just feels like you are becoming far too different to continue being a couple.
Sadly, this is where many people give up on their marriage. "It's unfixable," we tell ourselves. "We are just too different." "We aren't the same people we used to be." If you've found yourself thinking this or even uttering it out loud, I encourage you to read on and discover the truth about "growing apart".
Before you started changing, God saw it all - and He had a plan!
Far too many marriages end because people think that change is bad. Remember, even though you might be surprised by your new circumstances, God isn't. The Christian walk, after all, is all about growth and change.
Christ tells us in Luke 9:22, "You must take up your cross daily and follow me." That means our surroundings are going to be constantly changing! We are never going to wake up in the same spot every morning, but that was all part of God's plan.
Marriage is very similar. There are going to be seasons in our marriage that are ones of great change. They are going to require us to "take up our cross daily" - and in this we need not lose our joy or let it shake our peace. We can be certain that we are walking towards something spectacular when we depend on Jesus to lead the way.
