What to Do With an Imperfect Spouse

Is your spouse driving you half crazy with the things he/she does that make no sense to you (and you can’t figure out why these habits would make sense to anyone)?

“Even if I’ve never met you, I know one thing is true about you: you’re married to an imperfect mate. And here’s the spiritual reality that flows from this difficult truth: even though our mate disappoints us and hurts us, the Bible still calls us to respect and appreciate our imperfect spouse.
“This is true whether you’re a husband (1 Peter 3:7) or a wife (Ephesians 5:33). How do we do this, in a practical sense? How can we honestly and sincerely respect and appreciate someone who is so imperfect?”

The statements above come from an article, written by Gary Thomas. It was featured in the Spring 2007 issue of Marriage Partnership Magazine (now house on Kyria.com), and is an “oldie, but a goody.”
What Gary writes about may seem a bit puzzling and radical, but we encourage you not to close your mind to learning more on this issue. The truth is, you can either do the same thing you’ve been doing, which probably isn’t working or you wouldn’t be searching for help, or you can adjust your thinking and try to look at and approach these “imperfections” in a different way — hoping you will get a better result — a spouse you can better live with.
In the above mentioned article, Gary Thomas makes 7 thought-provoking points which are worth reading! They truly could help to save your relationship!
Pray before reading, that God will teach you what you need to know, to apply to your marriage relationship in particular. Please click onto the link below to read:
