How to Endure in Marriage

It’s easier to endure in marriage if we…

-Keep in mind there are people depending on us (a great cloud of witnesses.)

– Keep ourselves unencumbered from foolishness (sin that so easily entangles us.)

-Resist veering off the course God has laid out (the race marked out before us.)

-Keep our eyes on the finish line (fix our eyes on Jesus.)

“Since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.” Hebrews 12:1-3
