Marriage can be an absolutely beautiful experience but when your marriage starts to get hard, it can feel unbearable. It has even been said that no one can ruin a women’s happiness and usefulness as her own husband. And, no one can ruin the hopes and aspirations of a man and paralyze his energized to ruin his influence and prospects as his own wife.
When you say your sacred vows, you commit to loving that person and only that person until death do you part. Marriage should not be taken lightly, it should be treated carefully and wholeheartedly. That’s why marriage needs to be treated with the utmost importance.
I pray these Bible verses for when things get hard help you get through this hard time. After all, God performed the first marriage and is the best marriage counselor. He wants you to be happy.
Bible Verses for When Marriage is Hard
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you.
-Isaiah 43:2
God has put an utmost importance on marriage. It’s sacred and special to Him but that doesn’t mean He won’t be with you when things get tough. God loves you and He makes many promises throughout the Bible that He will be with you when you go through something hard.
Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
– 1 Corinthians 13:4-7
This verse clearly tells us how we should love one another. Love suffers long, we don’t give up when marriage gets hard. We don’t envy our spouses and we do not act better than them. We endure all things together with God and our marriages will not be easily broken.
And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.
-Ephesians 4:32
When marriage is hard, God doesn’t tell us to retaliate and get even with our spouses. He tells us to be kind to one another, tenderhearted – forgiving, just as God forgave us. It may be easy to keep score, but for a happy, healthy marriage, we need to forgive and love one another just as Christ loves us.
Two are better than one, Because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, one will lift up his companion. But woe to him who is alone when he falls, For he has no one to help him up. Again, if two lie down together, they will keep warm; But how can one be warm alone? Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him. And a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
-Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
When marriage gets hard, remember that the Bible clearly states two are better than one. When you fall, you have each other to help you up again. the Bible clearly stresses an importance on the power of two and how strong your marriage will be when it’s threefold – you, him, and God.
I pray that these Bible verses provide you some guidance when your marriage gets hard. Remember God put an utmost importance on marriage and it should be honored until death do you part.
