At some point in life we must study to show ourselves approved. We are taught as early as Pre K the importance of studying. We eventually learn that in order to be successful at our endeavors we must study to pass tests. Even after passing tests, we continue growth through some type of professional development. We know and understand that if we do not get so many hours of professional development we will stay stagnate in our careers or some will no longer have a career. So what makes us think that the most significant endeavor of all, marriage, doesn’t require development? We just enter at our own risks maneuvering through marriage by trial and error. Wrong as wrong can be!! Now is the time to correct that wrong and nurture the most sacred union of all. Why not start by giving our spouses the same attention we give our careers. If we don’t do something correctly at work, we learn the correct way to solve our mishap. If we continue to make the same mistakes, we will eventually be reprimanded. If we make a mistake within our marriage, we must learn
what caused the problem or our unions will begin to sever. So why not make your spouse your study buddy? Nurture your relationship with God’s help. Check out the 5 benefits of spiritual counseling!
You create a relationship with God. If you feel like you don’t need God now, I promise your spouse will do something that leads you to Him. Your spouse is not perfect, he/she will make mistakes. Your relationship with God will give you comfort, guidance, peace and so much more. You must have a relationship with God in order to grasp the following benefits.
