Having faith for your marriage

Have you ever had the Holy Spirit remind you to not get angry at your husband? Ha ha, if not, let me tell you—I have.

There have been days when I hadn’t heard from my husband and assumed he was coming home late. In my mind, I'd start getting ready to text him something passive-aggressive like, "That's fine," or "ok".

Then there were those times when he’d promise to fix something around the house, and as I got closer to home, I’d already be imagining walking through the door to see it still not done. I’d mentally play out the whole conversation—how upset I was, how I’d bring it up in a passive way. In my mind, I had the whole list of things I would do… all based on what wasn’t happening.

But then, the Holy Spirit steps in.

He gently reminded me that I don’t have to react that way. That I can choose patience. That I can walk in love, not frustration. Sometimes, He has to really remind me, but it’s in those moments that I see transformation in my heart and in our marriage.

Marriage isn’t always easy, but it’s a sacred journey of growth, grace, and letting God work in us. If you’ve ever had one of those moments where you’re ready to react but choose peace instead, I’d love to hear about it.
