3 Simple ways to ruin a marriage
1. Putting your kids before your spouse. Stereotypically, men kill their marriages by putting their jobs before their wives. But men, we must never do this. Your boss can replace you with a new employee, but your wife cannot get a new husband.
And stereotypically, some women put their children before their husbands. But ladies, even though your children came from your flesh, the Bible never says a mother and her children are one flesh. It does say that a husband and wife become one flesh. If you get the foundation wrong, the rest of the house will develop cracks.
2. Putting your parents before your spouse. The Bible says, “A man shall leave his father and mother and cleave to his wife.” When your children get married, they start a new family—and you become extended family. If you don’t leave, you can’t truly cleave.
3. Putting yourself before your spouse. If a marriage is two people trying to use each other, it feels like a battle. If one person is trying to serve and the other is trying to use, it feels like abuse. But if two people try to out‑serve each other, it feels like a blessing.
Some of you may feel trapped in your marriage and think, “I need a new marriage. Here’s the promise: if the people of God start living by the Word of God, you can have a new marriage with the same spouse.
