Living your best life in the second part of your life. Avoiding the midlife crisis. How do you work through the challenges and struggles that you may face? That’s what we’ll be looking at on this episode of Married By Design.
Whether you have had or will have a midlife crisis or just struggle through some of these issues in the middle of your life, I think it’s important to address the central theme of expectations that can creep into our minds during this time of life. Our minds can get a little wonky and we can get a little confused if we don’t understand one key principle. I think one of the reasons that these issues can come up in life is that a person lives by their own expectations rather than God's. When these issues begin to crowd in, you will not handle them well if you are driven by your own expectations and desires rather than God's. The solution is to recognize God's authority over your life and submit to His purposes.
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to discuss with your spouse the challenges that you’ve had in your marriage in the past. How have you struggled and how could your perspective have changed or did it change because of the truths from Isaiah 43? Use that reflection on your past to prepare yourselves for the future challenges as you go through the second half of your life. This lesson will help you to live your best life that you can for God‘s glory.
