In marriage, we can’t confuse our marriage covenant with a marriage contract. A contract is when something happens between two parties if both of the parties complete their contribution to the agreement. This method may work for business, but not for your marriage. A covenant is an agreement that you do with someone else… even if they don’t keep their end of the deal. This means you give your spouse 100 % even when they don’t deserve it.
When we think like our marriage is a contract, we typically leave because we feel like the other person isn’t keeping their end of the deal. When we think of our marriage like a covenant, we think about serving our spouse and their needs before our own. By changing the way we think from a contract to a covenant, we eventually see a stronger effort from both parties. Spread The Soup!
