No one sets out deliberately to damage his or her marriage. We all want happy, satisfying marriages. But because we live in an evil world that subtly influences us more than we realize, many sincere Christian couples drift into a number of dangers that damage or sometimes destroy their marriages.
While no marriage is perfect, when believers avoid the world’s ways and apply the wisdom of God’s Word in their marriages, their marriages will be healthy.
Keep in mind that the main goal of marriage is not our happiness, but rather God’s glory. Our marriages are a picture of Christ and His bride, the church (Eph. 5:32). We are to display to the world (and even to the angelic hosts, Eph. 3:10!) the faithful, holy love that Christ has for His church.
This evil world presents many dangers that will damage your marriage if you are not careful.
- Poor communication will damage your marriage.
- Anger and abusive words will damage your marriage.
- Bitterness and a lack of forgiveness will damage your marriage.
- Sexual immorality (beginning on the thought level) will damage your marriage.
- Alcohol and drug abuse will damage your marriage.
- Selfishness will damage your marriage.
- Financial irresponsibility will damage your marriage.
- Wrong expectations and goals will damage your marriage.
- Keeping secret will damage your marriage.
- Worldliness will damage your marriage.
