Today's norm is for the man to carry the women. In other words to be the head of the household. But what happens when the tide changes. When the roll of the wife becomes the husband and vice versa. Some years back I was faced with this reality. My husband health was hit. It was devastating. I was overwhelmed with the sheer magnitude of hats I had to fill. Every roll my husband had on a daily basis became mine. My to do list never stopped. However my load got a lot heavier in moment. Having to carry such a load gave me a clear prespective on what GOD means when he says the wife is the weaker vessel. It was not that I couldn't do the things I was required to do in that season of my life. I just came to the realization that men were built to carry heavy burdens mentally and physically. Though I was doing a great job physically. I was drained mentally and spirtually. It wasn't until I embraced the truth of GOD's word that says when you are weak I am Strong. Grasping hold to this truth I began to cry out to the Lord. Assuring him I was weak and needed his strenth to make it through those tough trails. The bible tells us to cast our cares upon the Lord for he cares for us. I must admit sometime my superwomen attitude acts as if I have things all under control. And there is exactly where my probelm begins. Control, the Lord has allowed so many situations and circumstances to help me understand He is GOD, Fully in control of every aspect of my life. Once I embrace this truth I find it is much easier to relax and allow GOD to be GOD. Sometimes one of my greatest weapons in Fighting4Marriage is to letting go. Putting GOD in the drivers seat of my life and me taking the back sit. Trusting He knows what He is doing and what is best for me. What lesson have you learned your marriage that you would like to share?

 One of the biggest assets in my marriage is the ability to come to an agreement. Not that we always see things eye to eye. We have learned  it is best for us to we come up with a solution that benefits the both of us. I must admit sometimes it is difficult if both of us are not willing to see things from the others perspective.Sometimes it takes stepping into the others shoes to have a clear understanding of how they feel. It is then and only then can we stay on the same path. When we fail to walk in agreement satan tricks us into walking in different directions. It is imperative that as you fight for your marriage you beware of the wiles of the enemy. Here are some reasons he desires to  keep us divided, he is aware that

1. Where two or three are gathered in Jesus name. He is in their mist
2. If any two touch and agree on anything on earth it shall be done of the Father
3. Two can't walk together except they agree
4. One can put a thousand to flight two can put ten thousand

Can you see how powerful the two of you are in agreement? In comparison to how weak you become when you disagree.  As long as satan keeps you and I ignorant of this truth unknowingly he hinders the very prayers that we pray. Causing us to walk in different directions til eventually we walk alone. You must we must I must Fight4Marriage. In order for us to stand in the evil day and having done all to stand, stand therefore. Your marriage is worth fighting for.

1. Never forget the reason you came to this place in the first place.
2. The feeling you felt the day you said I do, keep those feelings fresh.
