Your Spouse's Wins Are Your Wins
By: Amanda Idleman "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud." - 1 Corinthians 13:4 How many times have you read this verse in the context of marriage and just skipped on past the part about love does not envy? Envy isn't something that is talked about when discussing married life but is one of those sneaky deadly sins that can squash love. Marriage means working together as a team but assuming different roles or jobs. Each person is gifted with different talents and abilities. Each family has different needs that require unique sacrifices from each person in a marriage. A couple becomes one when they say "I do" and that oneness is a merging together of two very different individuals. On top of our differences, life comes with many crazy seasons! Some call for more sacrifice by one spouse than another. Your partner may become ill and you have to take up the slack to care for them and all the other needs of the rest of the family for a season. Often times the years of pregnancy and nursing can require more of a sacrifice from Mom than Dad. Your spouse may be working towards growing a business or is going back to school, requiring extra work on the part of their partner. Whatever the scenario, there are times in marriage when life and its responsibilities are not divided equally between a man and a wife. |
