Finding your adequacy in Christ, practicing your faith, and extending grace and mercy. These are all qualities that a husband or wife can exhibit in order to have a great marriage. That’s what we will be looking at on this episode of Married By Design.
This week we’re going to be looking at a good marriage. It’s a story of a young man and woman that were faced with a very difficult situation and yet decided to shine in it and honor the Lord. That’s often what life is really about. We find ourselves in situations where we don’t quite understand what’s going on and we have to walk by faith and in obedience.
This is a great story about the parents of the Savior. Joseph and Mary. It’s important to note that Joseph and Mary were very young at the time that they were married. We don’t know the exact age but probably in the late teens. That in itself is amazing that they would be able to handle the situation in a way that they did at such a young age.
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to choose one of these areas and discuss it with your spouse. Spend some time studying it in the Word and pray about it. You can look at your adequacy in Christ, having a heart of obedience, practicing the disciplines of the Christian religion, being involved in kingdom work, or extending grace and mercy.
