Your Question:
Can I still be a good partner if I'm struggling?
Answer:
As I reflect on this question, I believe that being a good partner isn't solely defined by the absence of struggles. In fact, I think it's in the midst of those struggles that we can discover the true depth of our commitment to one another. As a pastor, I've seen many couples face challenges in their relationships, but it's in those moments that they're forced to rely on God's help and work together to overcome their differences. When we're struggling, it's easy to get caught up in our own selfish desires and expectations. But a good partner is willing to put in the effort to understand and work through those issues together. As the passage mentions, it's not about sweeping problems under the rug or avoiding difficult conversations. Rather, it's about being willing to look beneath the surface and work through the deeper issues that may be causing tension in the relationship. In my own marriage to Susan, we've faced our share of struggles over the years. But through prayer, hard work, and a willingness to grow and learn together, we've been able to overcome many of the challenges that have come our way. And I believe that's the key to a healthy and fulfilling marriage: not being perfect, but being willing to work through the tough times and come out stronger on the other side.
