Seek wisdom and guidance in navigating challenges in marriage from "summary" of The Meaning of Marriage by Timothy Keller,Kathy Keller
Marriage is a sacred union that brings two people together in a lifelong commitment. However, it is not without its challenges. Every marriage will face difficulties and obstacles along the way. These challenges can range from communication issues to financial struggles, from parenting disagreements to conflicts in values and priorities. Navigating these challenges requires wisdom and guidance. Seeking wisdom means looking beyond ourselves for answers. It means recognizing that we do not have all the solutions and that we can benefit from the insights and experiences of others. Wisdom can come from a variety of sources - from older, more experienced couples who have weathered their own storms, to books and resources that offer practical advice and perspective. Guidance, on the other hand, implies seeking direction and counsel. It involves actively seeking out mentors, counselors, or pastors who can provide support and guidance in times of difficulty. These individuals can offer valuable insights and help us navigate complex issues with clarity and understanding. In the midst of challenges, it can be tempting to try and go it alone, to rely solely on our own instincts and judgment. However, this approach can often lead to frustration, misunderstanding, and ultimately, further conflict. By seeking wisdom and guidance, we open ourselves up to new perspectives, fresh insights, and ultimately, a deeper understanding of ourselves and our partner.- We can navigate the challenges that come our way with grace, humility, and resilience. Ultimately, it is through these challenges that we can strengthen our bond, deepen our love, and grow closer together as a couple.
