Letting our emotions lead us is a sure way to get out of the will of God.
We’re so used to doing or saying what we feel that we allow our emotions to control us without a second thought.
In the process of following where our “feelings” lead us, we begin veering away from God’s will. This then leads to many other negative consequences, including hurting those around us like our spouses, kids, friends, and coworkers.
Well, our softball team lost it’s first game tonight. 2 wins and 1 loss.
It was a close one. For the win, all we had to do was hold the opposition to no more than 2 runs at the bottom of the last inning. But the other team got the best of us with some really good hits.
So why am I talking about softball?
Because sports, like marriage, seems to be one of those areas where we let frustration get the better of us. Instead of us controlling our emotions, we let our emotions control us. And usually no good can come of that.
What really got me thinking was what happened at the end of the game, right after the other team scored their winning run.
Want a great marriage?
Well, God wants you to have one too. But it’s not going to just happen by accident.
You’ve got to seek after it. And the only one that can show you the right path towards that end goal is God.
Last time we talked about how nothing was impossible with God and that there is hope for you to have a better marriage, no matter what kind of shape it’s presently in.
But if you’re anything like I was in the past, then you may now be thinking “Yeah, God can do anything, but will He help me and my marriage?”
Marriage is supposed to be a good thing, but that’s not always the case. Many times we think that it’s never going to be a good thing or can never get better. Maybe everyone else can have a great relationship, but not us.
Are you possibly thinking that because of your certain circumstances, a good marriage will be impossible to come by?

What have you probably heard is the number one problem in marriage?
Often cited as the number one problem is the lack of communication.
I don’t believe that’s the case. It’s a problem, but not the main problem. The lack of communication is purely a symptom of a deeper problem.
As a follow up to my recent Anger Management in Marriage series, I’ve compiled that information into a single marriage article around the area of dealing with anger in marriage.
You can check it out at one of the following article directories.

It’s hard to believe…another year of marriage. My wife and I celebrated our 14th marriage anniversary this month. Time has certainly flown by.
We were blessed with a gift card to Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse, so we were able to have a wonderful anniversary dinner out. My mouth is watering just thinking about it, so I’m going to stop now.
The road to year 14 hasn’t always been easy. We’ve had to endure some hard times and even thoughts of divorce.
