Marriage is hard work but it's good. It's good for many reasons but not the least of which is the fact that marriage is God's gift to us to teach us about the beautiful mystery of Christ and his church (Eph 5:32). It's very easy to forget this truth primarily because of the reality of the presence of sin.
The principal means by which these sinful attitudes and behaviors creep their way into the marriage relationship is when: (1) The opportunity for conflict arises, or (2) When we are in full-fledged conflict itself. Conflict with our spouse uniquely reveals what is in our heart. Jesus says, out of the overflow of our heart the mouth speaks (cf. Matt 12:34, Lk 6:45). When the pressure is on, and you feel offended, hurt, annoyed, abandoned, rejected, misunderstood, what words come out of your mouth? Are they words that seek to defend Christ's honor for what marriage is really supposed to be about, or do they support and defend an idol that you've built?
