In marriage, I think we tend to get caught on our heels about how to love each other

Intentionally how to be nice to each other make time for each other. I don't know. Maybe that's just me

I just feel like sometimes I'm just like I'm just responding and like trying to put fires out versus like

Why are the fires starting?

That's good. That's good. So and this kind of go ahead. Well, no, that's I want to hear it to say and go ahead keep going

I just feel like there's an aspect of maybe faith that I'm not operating in or that I'm not

leaning into or not allowing time for God to grow that within me. Yeah, I think a lot of times in marriage

We we we take for granted or we forget the fact that

Loving well takes faith

It takes a faith in God's way a faith in God's word a faith in what his promises say that they will bear fruit on some level

Mm-hmm because sometimes you don't see maybe how it's gonna bear fruit

We can't make sense of it in our own minds. Why should I be nice when when they're being so

Messed or acting so messed up toward me

Why you guys so messed up towards me or how can I respect a man who's not respectable?

That's a big question a lot of wives have or how can I how how can I honor my wife and love my wife when she clearly does not love me right now

Or she's not loving me right now

So acting in a way that's contrary to our flesh in those moments takes an immense amount of faith and what you're saying is that we get caught on our

Heels is that we don't always act by faith. We don't walk in the spirit we walk in our flesh

And so here we're gonna talk about three specific enemies of faith and how we can live and love

Proactively another was pursue each other proactively in marriage with

Through the lens of scripture. So hopefully this episode will help you and we'll see you on that side
