Through the lens of Young married
Korah's rebellion
Marriages have their own version of Korah’s rebellion. Wanting what wasn’t given.
You see the marriage at church that looks deeper. The friends who travel more. The couple whose kids are easier. The other woman whose husband communicates better. The other man whose wife seems to have more energy. Comparison is the killer.
Most marriages don’t fail dramatically. They fail because one or both spouses spent years wanting what was not given. A different version of their spouse. A different season. A different combination of strengths. Korah-style.
Christ’s posture is the marriage saver. Receive what was actually given. Your spouse is who they are. Your season is what it is. Your kids are who they are. The Father knows what He gave you.
One small thing this week: name one specific thing you have been quietly wishing your spouse, your marriage, your season was more of. Lay the wish down. Thank the Father for what He actually gave. Watch what happens.
