Embrace the Priority

There will always be something we have to do next in life. There will always be one more thing we need to get done before heading home, before going on date night with our spouse, or before taking that much-needed vacation together. Yet, those things may not be a real priority. 

We need to learn to choose our priorities wisely. We should make ourselves and our spouse a priority in our marriage. 

Why should we make ourselves a priority as well? Because you and your spouse are one unit. So both of you are a priority. 

Equally. 

Many times we put our needs and our desires first which leads to our marriage suffering when we want things to go our way. Other times, we forget to take care of ourselves, and as our physical and mental health start to suffer, so does our marriage. That is why it is important to prioritize both you and your spouse to have a healthy, fun and long-lasting marriage.

When Jesus talks about marriage, when He says no one or nothing should separate what God has joined together, He means it. 

Do not let anything come between you and your spouse.. Do not let division arise within your marriage - not a person or a wrong priority. 

Having a job is important. Having children is a blessing from God. Having the house of your dreams is wonderful. Hanging out with friends and family is fun and many times necessary. 

Yet none of those things should become our number one priority. They can never become an excuse to spend time apart from your spouse. There will be times when your job will require more time and attention, but it can never become your number one priority. Having the house of your dreams can never be your number one priority. All of the things that are added to your married life are blessings from God, but those things are not supposed to take the place of your spouse. 

Thought of the Day

There are many fights that can be avoided if we learn to embrace our priorities as a married couple. God and your spouse are your number one. Once we understand this concept and embrace it, we will begin to enjoy our marriage and our spouse like never before!
