Count your blessings

I was just wondering hy people don't turn to God about their relationships. Whatever we believe in, God intended for us to be happy in our marriages. I found this verse in the bible. Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High: And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me. (Psalm 50:14, 15 KJV. You don't need anyone to pray for your marriage or speak to your spouse. The all knowing God is offering himself to us. All we need to do is ask and give him a chance. I say give him a chance because whilst some people pray about their marital problems, they do not give him a chance to help them. Pride and ega take over them and they act in ways they regret later.we start saying things like "if I don't do this they will think I'm a fool or if I ignore this they will do it again. We are all humans and make mistakes. If we let God direct us, we will know when to speak and when to be quiet. When to react and when to let go. In marriage these things are very important. Things I used to make a big deal about when I just got married are things I laugh about now. When you know your husband doesnt lift the sit up; why don't you put it up when you finish? Why should he be the one to put it down? If your partner takes things and puts them some where else; why don't you ask? If fortunately you have a husband like mine who never remembers where he puts stuff, you have to become a detective. It doesn't take anything. I always ask my husband to put the toaster away when not in use and I kept repeating myself for months. I started feeling like a nagging wife; so I spent time thinking of what to do and it came to me to stop complaining. From then on, when I see the toaster out, I pack it up. One afternoon, my husband meets me in the kitchen and says "you haven't noticed that you don't complain about the toaster anymore? You didn't even commend me. I burst out laughing and had to tell him the real reason. He goes really? The point of this story is sometimes people mean to do something but get carried away by other things. Especially when it's something they are not used to. Toutzien. Remain blessed.
