Going through a difficult time in your marriage can be emotional and challenging. But it’s important to remember that solace can be found in any situation.
You need to be careful not to drown yourself in guilt and blame. The regret of your decision or how your partner is behaving can make you manage issues the wrong way but you need to rise up beyond that so that you donโt crumble.
Here are five truths that can help guide you through this tough season with compassion and a sense of hope:
1. ๐๐จ๐ฎ ๐๐ซ๐ ๐๐ง๐จ๐ฎ๐ ๐ก
No matter what difficulties you’re facing, you are deserving of love, respect, and happiness, and your worth is not defined by the state of your marriage. Be kind to yourself and avoid comparing yourself to others or the โperfectโ image of a spouse.
2. ๐๐จ๐ฎ ๐๐ซ๐ ๐ฅ๐จ๐ฏ๐๐
Whether you find solace in prayer, scripture, or simply the feeling of a divine presence, know that God’s love for you is unchanging and unconditional. You are never alone or forgotten but always held in the embrace of divine love.
3. ๐๐จ๐ฎ ๐๐ซ๐ ๐ฆ๐๐ค๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐ ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ
Even if the path ahead seems uncertain or progress feels slow, recognise that you are constantly growing and evolving. Each small step forward, whether in your personal development or your relationship, is a testament to your strength and resilience.
4. ๐๐จ๐ฎ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐๐ฏ๐๐ง๐ญ๐ฎ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐๐ซ๐๐๐ค๐ญ๐ก๐ซ๐จ๐ฎ๐ ๐ก ๐ข๐ง ๐ฅ๐ข๐๐
Although the present situation may feel overwhelming, have faith that this too shall pass. With patience, perseverance, and the support of your loved ones, you will eventually find a way through the challenges and emerge stronger and more resilient.
5. ๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ฅ๐ข๐๐ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐๐ฅ๐ซ๐๐๐๐ฒ ๐ ๐ญ๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐ฆ๐จ๐ง๐ฒ; ๐ข๐ญ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐๐ง๐ ๐ฐ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ
Your journey, with all its ups and downs, is a powerful testament to your strength and resilience. Regardless of the outcome of your current situation, your life is a story that can inspire and encourage others. You will emerge from this season with a renewed sense of purpose and direction.
Remember to reach out to trusted friends, family, or a professional counsellor for support and guidance as you navigate this challenging time in your marriage.
