What does a healthy marriage look like?
Posted by Kenny Vaughan on 30th Oct 2019
Someone loving us is not permission to hurt them just because they will forgive us. It’s a responsibility to love them. If we love someone....the last thing we ever want to do is hurt them. That said, as much love as I feel for Tammie, and as hard as I fight to love her, I still manage to hurt her far too often. Healthy relationships and marriages are rarely without hurt. It’s the willingness to truly repent and truly forgive that keeps love growing stronger. If someone continues to hurt us without truly repenting...allowing that is not loving them at all. Love stands for the truth, it puts the past behind it, and it never pretends it’s okay for the person it loves most to not love at all. Jesus is love and He shows us how to love. Know Jesus and know love. If you haven’t, please read “The Right Fight”......it’s the truths behind every video I ever make. Available on amazon and at Shieldsofstrengrh.com Romans 6:15-18, “What then? Shall we sin because we are not under the law but under grace? By no means! Don’t you know that when you offer yourselves to someone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one you obey—whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness? But thanks be to God that, though you used to be slaves to sin, you have come to obey from your heart the pattern of teaching that has now claimed your allegiance. You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness.”
