How To Waste Your Marriage in 10 Easy Steps
Thank you Don Currin for helping with this.
1. Don't believe that your marriage is ordained by God to conform you to the image of His Son.
2. Don't believe that your marriage was designed by God to model the union of Christ and His Church.
3. Don't recognize that your marriage is intended by God to bear witness to the Gospel.
4. Fail to see that your companion's character flaws and physical handicaps are God-given ministry opportunities for you to develop a deeper love for him or her.
5. View yourself as a victim of a wrong choice rather than the beneficiary of a glorious providence.
6. Believe that you can be more effective for Christ living and serving independently of your marriage partner.
7. Fail to understand that answered prayer depends on the honor and reverence you show your companion.
8. Squander your time in carnal indulgences rather than using it to build a more loving and enduring relationship.
9. Attempt to live out your role as spouse without the fullness of the Holy Spirit.
10. Fail to live your marriage for the glory of God.
