Blaming Destroys Marriages: Marriage would be wonderful if spouses - TopicsExpress

Blaming Destroys Marriages: Marriage would be wonderful if spouses took personal responsibility for their actions and owned up to their mistakes. Sadly, in marriage most spouses constantly blame each other for the failure of their marriages. For her failure to submit to her husband, the wife blames the husband for failing to love her as Christ loved the church. For his failure to love her, the husband blames the wife’s lack of respect. Blaming is the easiest way to escape responsibility. “Adam said, The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me from the tree, and I ate. Eve said, The serpent deceived me, and I ate. (Genesis 3:12-13) Remember, what you blame your spouse for; you don’t have the power to change in you. Every temptation to blame others is an opportunity to change yourself. Regardless of your spouse’s percentage of wrong, accept the fact that you are imperfect and that you also have a part to play in the current state of your marriage. Let your motto be, “Lasting change begins with me.” Let your song be, “change my heart oh God.” – Isaac Kubvoruno
