Wow, you really hit the nail on the head with this one. What we think in our minds truly becomes our reality, and if we only focus on the negative, that's all that we'll see around us. There's a quote that says "Be the change you want to see", and that's so true. Very thought provoking post! Darlyn fix marriage, relationship article, marriage builders

This is so true! Thanks for the great reminder. So many times, married couples pick at each other, saying "Meet my needs! Meet my needs!". Instead we should be saying, "LORD, meet my needs, so that I can meet his." When I do, I am so blessed. .-= Tiana Krenz´s last blog post ... Surprise! =-.

I lived in the pit of bitterness bondage for many years, telling myself exactly what you describe. Consequences to living this way (with my thoughts unchecked) included seeing my kids hurt and pay the price for my resentment and unforgiveness. Through my kids God revealed my sin and after marriage classes and in depth journaling with the Lord to figure out what was really going on inside me He revealed to me that I needed to extend the very forgiveness to my husband that God had extended to me through Jesus. Sounds simple but took a lot of practice and prayer. Capturing every thought and holding it captive to the obedience of Christ was and still is a verse I have to intentionally live every day. Praise God for his Grace and Mercy.

Thanks guys for all of the encouraging words! Want to hear something ironic – my man was late for dinner last night!!!! lol!! God was testing me… I had made smashed red potatoes, fried veggies and steak with a homemade marinade…so I didn't want it cold!

THEN this is the extremely humbling part – he walked in the door with a Starbucks drink in his hand for me!!! He has never done that before! He was late because he was in line at Starbucks…oh man!!!

God was making sure this lesson sunk in!!!

Keep thinking pure thoughts of your men – they deserve it!!

You all have posted everything that I could say so what more is there to say? Praise the Lord Jesus Christ. His timing is so wonderful. He knows when you need words of encouragement and just how to get them to you. Thank you all.

Thank you for the reminder! :)

My hubby often travels for work and I am always reminded of how my life would be as a single gal again if he weren't in my life, and while I know I'm more than capable, I wouldn't want to be without him, he's so precious.

I believe that ill/negative thoughts are the beginning/root of all divorces, hurtful words come next and on it goes.

Thank you for sharing God's word with the women of the world!
