The Struggle of Making Ends Meet in Marriage

When you're struggling to make ends meet in marriage, it can be a challenging and stressful situation. You may feel overwhelmed by the financial burdens, and it's natural to wonder how you can still be a good partner. However, it's essential to remember that marriage is not just about financial security, but about building a relationship with someone who is committed to working through challenges together.

Turning to Each Other for Support

In times of struggle, it's easy to feel like running away from the problems or seeking a quick fix. However, a healthy marriage is built on the foundation of perseverance and a willingness to work through difficulties together. When you see the problems in each other, do you want to run away, or do you find a desire to work on them together? If it's the latter, then you have the makings of a marriage that can weather any storm. This requires a deep commitment to each other and a willingness to serve and give, rather than demand and control.

Seeking the Ultimate Lover

Ultimately, the key to navigating the challenges of making ends meet in marriage is to turn to the ultimate lover of your soul, Jesus Christ. When we put our trust in Him, we are empowered to love and serve our partners, even in the midst of struggle. This doesn't mean that we won't face difficulties, but it means that we will face them together, as a team, with a deep sense of commitment and purpose. By seeking God's guidance and strength, we can build a marriage that is not just financially stable, but spiritually rich and fulfilling. As the Bible says, "Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things." (1 Corinthians 13:7) This is the kind of love that can overcome even the most significant challenges, including financial struggles. I pray that you and your partner will experience this kind of love and build a marriage that is rooted in the strength and hope of Jesus Christ. May you find the courage and perseverance to work through your challenges together and may God bless your marriage with love, joy, and peace.
