We all know that marriage can be tough. After the initial excitement wears off, it’s not uncommon to find yourself in a relationship that feels more like a chore than anything else.
But just because marriage can be tough doesn’t mean it has to be. There are plenty of couples out there who have strong, healthy marriages – and spending time with them can actually inspire you to work harder on your own marriage.
When my wife and I stopped hanging out with the wrong friends, our marriage quickly improved.
It’s not always easy to figure out who the right friends are, but once you do, you’ll be amazed. It may take some time to separate the wheat from the chaff, but it’s worth it.
In the Bible, we are reminded that “iron sharpens iron.” This is true in every area of life, including marriage.
It will motivate you to put more effort into your own marriage if you associate with couples who have healthy marriages.
It can be easy to get caught up in our own problems and forget that there are other couples out there who are dealing with similar issues.
Spending time with couples who have strong marriages can help you see what’s possible in your own relationship.
It can help you understand what it takes to make a marriage work, and it can give you the motivation to put in the effort to make your own marriage a success.
If you’re finding yourself in a rut, spending time with couples who have strong marriages can be the kickstart you need to get back on track.
Great marriages are contagious, so choose your friends wisely!
