A listener called in to a mandarin radio station one day while a counselling programme was airing. Her husband travelled overseas for work regularly and she shared that she felt so relaxed when he was away. She felt guilty about it. The counsellor then attempted to share some thoughts on her problem.
Usually when a couple is in the midst of a bitter quarrel or fight, they detest each other’s presence. When the situation blows out of proportion, hatred, anger and resentment build up.
In a Christian marriage, God is in the centre of the marriage, the couple draws closer as the days go by. The Lord is a master marriage builder and He binds us as one in Him. Husband and wife may still have disagreements or unpleasant situations cropping up from time to time but we must never allow the wounds to fester. We open themselves to the Lord’s intervention and guidance. We grow to love and forebear each other. We learn to make room for each other because we are not perfect. And for that reason, we err and sometimes make blunders that we regret afterwards. God in His mercy has given us His word to guide us in His path. When we walk in His light, we then become a beacon of light shining ever so brightly and bearing His eternal glory.
