• I Think I’m Losing Interest in My Marriage! >> Question: Help Me! I love my wife but I think I’m just not interested in the marriage anymore. No matter what she does, I’m never impressed. Sometimes, I just wish she would leave me alone. –Mr K Real love does not have an expiry date nor does it get tired of loving in the midst of hardship, trials, sickness and poverty. In a beautiful marriage, couples always find a way to reinvent their wonderful moments; they keep falling in love with themselves over and over again. They don’t count the years but the wonderful memories they share is a constant inspiration that keeps urging them on, giving them hope that it will always get better. It’s certain that true love does not have an expiry date but true love can actually be contaminated. It’s these contaminants that if left untreated and checked that can make your marriage an unbearable hell and if possible wreck your marriage. Some of these viruses are Jealousy, anger, selfishness, ingratitude and unwillingness to make sacrifices. Please, guard your heart, guard your love, guard your marriage, and don’t give in to the lie that marriage is cheap. Your marriage is a union of two valuable unique persons who are ready to fight together on the same side and win their battles together. I know that people are committed to their job as long as they still have the job and others are committed to their professions and callings as long as things are going fine. When it comes to marriage, you have to be committed when things are going fine and even when they are not going fine. You have to be at your duty post always. You don’t go on holidays in marriage. You have to always be available 24hrs every day. Commitment is not a word you say and let it go like that. Commitment is when you keep showing up as a wife and as a husband even when the show of the wedding ceremony has ended. Commitment is when you continue to love your wife and husband even when the reality sets in that your marriage is quite different from your wedding ceremony. Commitment is when you realize that your marriage is your responsibility to either make it work or let it be blown around by any kind of wind. Commitment is when you decide that if my marriage is going to be sweet, that it’s up to me to make it work. Commitment is when you realize that even if your best friend’s marriage is not working, that their story does not have to be your own story. Whenever, the thought comes to you that marriage is a cheap institution where you can walk in and out as it pleases you, stop to pray and think Commitment. Don’t lose interest in your marriage; your marriage will only get better.It’s no longer a secret that so many homes have broken apart because one or both spouses at a point lost interest in building and nurturing their marriage as they should. When you are committed to your marriage, you will not have time to be comparing your wife or husband to other people. The one you have is perfect for you. If there are flaws, they could be changed. If a light bulb burns out in your house, you change the light bulb and not going to change your house address because of that. If something is wrong in your marriage, work on it and surely you will have victory in it. Commitment is you saying yes to truth, honesty, purity, love and good marital virtues.
