It ain’t over til the fat lady sings

On this resurrection weekend it got me to thinking of how the death and resurrection on Christ is symbolic of many areas of our lives. In life and marriage there are times when you will be misunderstood, wrongly accused and persecuted but If you stand firm on your faith there is light at the end. In marriages sometimes the wear and tear of life can take a toll and can make one or both of you feel like throwing in the towel.

But it doesn’t have to be over, sometimes you may need to take some time to remind yourselves of all the good times. Weigh the pros and cons and be honest – this is the person you loved enough to marry, you committed to spend the rest of your life with. You entered into a covenant and you trusted and believed that you could make it through life together.

Even in the face of infidelity, misunderstandings, and emotional distance your relationship can be resurrected. A marriage that is based on the foundation of Christ can survive anything. Christ called us to love.

1 Corinthians 13:4-7 Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.
