Marriage: Trick - or- Treat?

Is your spouse the person you thought he or she was while you were dating?  In other words, has he/she been a trick or a treat?

If you see your spouse as a treat/ someone you’re very blessed to be sharing your life with, then continue to give God the thanks and glory for your relationship.  However, if you’re feelings like thousands of others that your spouse has been a trick, there is hope.

Take action today to turn things around.  It is not too late.  Whether you’ve been marriage for a year or 30 plus years, it is not too late to turn your marriage into a treat that glorifies God.

You can start by having a conversation with your spouse about making changes in your marriage that includes both of your desires. Are you afraid to talk with your spouse about how he/she has changed?   Know that research shows that unresolved issues continue to push couples apart and ultimately ends with two people who are unhappily married. If you and your spouse are stuck in the mud, discuss together how you can get out.  Divorce is not the option; consider counseling, or marriage education classes, if you need a little support with making the change or starting the conversation.  

Remember your marriage should be a treat, not a trick.
