Overcoming Discouragement and Setbacks in Marriage.
Overcoming Discouragement and Setbacks in Marriage.
Anita came out of the clinic with her husband. They had been on the journey of trying to conceive for the last five years. A friend of theirs had suggested this clinic to them. The doctor recommended IVF as an option for them. It has not been an easy journey. Their first attempt had failed but they were quite hopeful.
What do you do when faced with discouragement or setbacks in marriage? The example above is one of such circumstances that could lead to discouragement in marriage. The following steps can help couples to weather the storm and have victory at the end.
– Encourage each other: It is easier to face a challenge when you have support and encouragement from your spouse.
– Discuss your options with each other: People make mistakes when they prefer to take advice from external people. Discuss every option with each other and agree before embarking on action.
– Pray Together: Burdens are lifted when couples pray together.
– Keep your Faith alive: Work on your Faith daily. Know that God is not a man that He should lie. He has the capacity to bring our expectations to pass. Believe without any doubt that God will surely come through for you.
– Keep pushing on: I have heard stories of couples who gave up at the edge of their breakthrough. A young man committed suicide due to the loss of his job and his wife’s inability to conceive. A few days later, his wife tested positive for pregnancy.
Remember the case study of Hannah. She was discouraged. Her spouse Elkanah encouraged her. She rose up, prayed, and believed God. That same year, she got her answer.
The devil uses discouragement as a weapon. No matter what happens, don’t let the devil stop you. Don’t accept discouragement. Keep pushing and praying until your answer is released.
Stay blessed and keep shining cause everyone in the CYMI family is a star.
