How to Ruin Your Marriage in 3 Easy Steps
3 Ways To Ruin Your Marriage - By Pastor James C. Johnson and special appearances from Britan Johnson
Number 1. Be self-focused. You’ll ruin your marriage if you fail at focusing on your spouse. Remember that marriage is a ministry. Your marriage is not about you, it’s about your spouse. Philippians 2:4 says, “Look not every man on his own things but every man also on the things of others.” If you’re grumbling about your marriage, it’s probably because you’re focused on self.
Number 2. A second way to ruin your marriage is to be SO invested in your spouse that you smother them. Yes, you should focus on ministering to them, but remember to give them space. Marriage means having a lifelong roommate, but everyone needs privacy and alone time.
Number 3. A third way to ruin your marriage is to be a god-unto-yourself. It’s as if you’re conducting yourself with no sense of what God says about your role in marriage. You’re a god-unto-yourself. You’re basically acting any way you want. Instead, read and apply God‘s Word to your marriage. Obey Ephesians 5:21-33 and apply 1 Corinthians 7:1-5 and 1 Corinthians 13. Your spouse will have an abiding sense of security if you show them that you’re endeavoring to be obedient to God’s Word.
