Hang in There, Friend! Your Marriage Is Worth It!

hang-in-there

There have been moments in my life and my marriage that were painful – physically and emotionally.  I can say that I have only endured through those trying circumstances because of God’s love for me.  He is the One who gave me the strength to persevere, the wisdom to know how to address certain hardships, and/or a kind word from a friend with impeccable timing.  Words like:

It’s going to be ok.

               You can do this.

                        God is with you.

                                             or 

                                                Hang in there, my friend.

Words like these are treasures to my weak heart, lifting me up in times of need.  They are the words we speak when we cannot promise a successful strategy out of a situation, when encouragement is necessary and vital.

Our stories and situations all vary.  The degree to which we experience pain, hurt, or loss is different from person to person.  My marriage failures and triumphs are not yours and vice versa.  Yet, no matter what our circumstances tell us, these words have the power to help us get through.  I wanted to extend to those of you in moments of trial and pain — to those who are taxed and depleted, words I hope and pray bring you comfort and strength to help you make it through another day.

Hang in there, my friend!

Draw near to God and He will carry you. He will give you rest. He will fill you with wisdom and the strength to carry on.  You are worth encouraging and your marriage is worth fighting for.  Your husband is worth fighting for.  Hang in there! Endure! Persevere!

The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you, He will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. – Deuteronomy 31:8

  1. My husband left over 7 months ago. He’s practically living with another woman, he rarely see our 21 month old son. I have stood in our marriage and prayed multiple times each day for him and our family, even the other woman. Lately I feel like giving up. Thank you for this post, you’ve given me the strength to keep “fighting”. Bless you!!

    1. Sondra. I know how you feel. I’m going through a divorce and we separated for 2 years. I filed for divorce as I couldn’t handle the way my marriage. I pray for so many answers and believe God will answer me and that I won’t make decision without God. My husband don’t bother with our 2 year and 10mth old daughter. I needed this post as I don’t know if I should Hold on as it seems there is no hope.

  2. hello,i wanted to say thank you today for the encouraging words i just read for a marriage/husband worth fighting for it truly came at a perfect time. God bless and cant wait for your book release .

  3. Thank you for this encouragement. I really need that right now. My husband and I have been separated for seven months now. We will have been married 9 years this month and he wants the divorce, I certainly do not. People have been telling me to let my marriage go but I don’t believe that that is what I’m supposed to be doing. I believe that I need to keep standing and fighting for my marriage. It is hard to stay encouraged but I’m not giving up, no matter what anyone says.
