Marriage Moment: When Your Spouse Doesn’t Measure Up
The best thing you can do for your marriage is to find your personal worth first in Christ. When your spouse doesn’t meet your expectation, which many times he or she will not, you will still feel fulfilled.
When your worth is held captive by an imperfect person, you will find yourself facing unmet expectations throughout your marriage. While I believe strongly that each spouse has a responsibility to develop him or herself personally (You can read some of my thoughts in the marriage category HERE), the fact remains that your spouse will never totally meet all your needs, regardless of how mature he or she becomes as a person.
Are you holding your spouse to a standard he or she can never meet?
What if you found your worth first in Christ, would it release some pressure from the marriage and the spouse that doesn’t measure up to expectations?
