How to Trust God With Your Marriage

August 15, 2015 by jstults 3 Comments

Sometimes trusting God with your marriage is just plain hard!  Our men go through tough times and so do we.  Maybe there has been a breach of trust, or maybe you’re both caught in the midst of a painful trial.

Maybe you’ve simply grown apart.

Whatever the case may be, trusting our husbands isn’t always foremost in our minds.

The hard part about being married to an imperfect man is that we are called to trust him and submit to him anyways, even:

  • When he forgets to pay bills
  • When he breaks a promise
  • When he grows depressed
  • When he acts irresponsibly
  • When he acts unloving
  • When he runs from God like Jonah

Failing to trust your husband is really failing to trust God. Hard to hear? Yes, I know.  Read here to find out how to trust God with  your marriage!

Do you find that challenging?

Because I certainly do!

When I see evidence that my husband is really struggling in his faith and not walking well with the Lord, I begin to question his judgement and leadership for our family.

Are you frustrated by failure you in your marriage? Do you wonder if there is any hope left for you? Hope for the Hurting Wife is a 30 day devotional journey written by two women who survived the muck and mire of marriage problems.

That slippery slope of distrust quickly leads straight to disrespect if I don’t catch it in time.

      Kayla, my heart goes out to you! I haven’t been in that exact circumstance myself. However, our marriage has survived similarly painful seasons, and I know many other women who have lived through that pain, as well. Some of them have chosen to remain with their spouses while others have had to let go. I think the answer to that question depends on a few different things – is your husband willing to work through these issues with you by receiving some counselling? Is it your desire to remain married to him? I would start with a lot of prayer and seeking God’s wisdom – He alone knows what is best for you and your marriage. Additionally, I suggest seeking godly counsel from a pastor or a counselor to help you make those tough decisions. If you are trying to keep your marriage intact, I also suggest reading the post “How to Love When You Feel Unloved.” You can find it by using the search bar at the top right of this page. It details the only way I know of to actively love a husband who is acting in an unloving manner. Please feel free to email me if you’d like to discuss this more, and know that I’m praying for you, even now as I type these words. I believe in the God of the impossible! Most of all, I want you to know that you are not alone, although I’m sure it feels that way at the moment.

    […] In Christ, we can learn to love even when we feel unloved. We can fight for someone who may have stopped fighting for us. We can choose trust in the Lord even when earthly trust has been broken. […]
