31 Day Marriage ResetMuestra

The best kind of marriage is the kind where yesterday's frustrations do not affect the quality of today.

So many times, I’ve had to remind myself to “pick my battles.” I say that in my head quite often when Satan, or even my own flesh, tries to get me flustered about something that was done yesterday or something that was said months ago. Sometimes it is so tempting to bring up the past, but it is so not worth it. Not only because it puts a strain on your marriage but also because God never does that to us. Another thing I ask myself pretty often is “is it worth it?” Is it worth it to rob the moment or even the day of its joy because I am still thinking about that time__________? No, it’s not worth it. That’s one of those moments to let go and let God. That’s one of those moments to ask God to help me get that off of my mind and out of my system, and focus on all of the beauty and blessings I have with my spouse. That’s one of those moments to use my authority to tell Satan to get away from me in the name of Jesus. That’s an opportunity to remind him that he will not have his way in my marriage. Do not use the past as ammunition, leave it where it is, in the past. Thank God for today and show your spouse how thankful you are that you get to spend it with them.
