This verse in Galatians packs quite a number of attributes. Nine of them! As Christians we are called to live by the spirit and it will become evident because we will bear the fruit. This fruit, mentioned in Galatians. Notice it does not say “fruits,” but rather “fruit.” I think of it as one orange with nine segments inside. Let's explore these segments and put the marriage spin on it.

TRUST…that is a hard pill to swallow, especially if you’ve experienced broken trust. I think all of us have in some way. Let’s tackle this together. We trust our instincts. We trust the chair will hold us up. We trust our children to tell us the truth. We trust our spouse to love us “til death do us part.” Trust is a necessity in order for a marriage to be strong and good. It has been said that trust is lost in buckets but gained in drops.

This verse packs a big punch of how we should treat one another in love, in our marriage. When I dig deeper into this verse I notice a list of positive attributes, as well as negative attributes. Then I think about how these attributes relate to each other and what it means for our relationship, how we relate to our spouse.

The scar is a reminder of what happened. And that is not always a good thing because those memories may bring out negative emotions.

When you're arguing with your spouse over something you believe you "need," pause and ask the Lord: "Why do I truly want this, and what do you want for me?" Acknowledging that God gives us everything we need is the first step toward finding contentment and stopping the disagreement.

You must be completely honest about what happened. Some people argue against sharing every detail of a sexual affair to protect their spouse from further pain. While I understand that sentiment—and it’s true that graphic details can cause PTSD—you must be honest about everything else.

You see your spouse struggling to get unstuck, and you don't know how to help. You might even feel more irritated than helpful. But if we're going to love our spouses with a godly love, we have to move past that frustration and toward compassion.

If we truly want to have a marriage that is "Christ-like," we have to look to the cross as our ultimate guide. It teaches us three powerful lessons: the meaning of sacrificial love, the gift of grace and mercy, and the importance of selflessness.

You blow up in anger at your wife. If your stomach just clenched a little, or if a specific memory flashed through your mind, know this: you’re not alone. And as much as I wish I could say I’m immune, I can’t

Does your heart feel like the scorched, scarred, barren land? Do you feel dry and crusty? Broken? Tired? Useless? If only you could rise above it as if on a plane to get a birds eye view of what God sees, what only He can do…hmmm. You would see His Master Plan for your life. God sees the finished masterpiece of you in its entirety. Do you find that comforting.

We all crave connection with people. Our family, friends, coworkers. We want to be seen by them, recognized in a unique way. Known for what we have done, are doing, and dream to do. But in the business of daily life we can feel forgotten, we don’t matter, we are not enough. And that hurts. That’s a lonely place to live in but it’s reality for so many.
