There are women who are pursuing divorce because they think the problems they have are all their husband’s fault. They make the problems seem like they are all about how badly their husband’s behaviors are, when the truth is that I have witnessed these women failing to do their part to help save their marriages. They would rather refuse to admit what they have failed to do right, and deny ever being a part of the problem to begin with.

Women who have not done their part to help save their marriages are absolutely part of the problem!

Women need to stop denying the truth about their behaviors and get more serious about what they can do to help save their marriages.

Here are some practical ways to begin today to help save your marriage:

-Have faith in Jesus.

-Confess your sins to God and ask for forgiveness.

-Study the Word of God

-Develop a personal relationship with Him, by obeying Him in spirit and in truth.

-Develop God’s perspective on marriage. Everything you need to know about marriage, and your role as a wife, comes from the Bible.

-Recite the Promises of  God over your life and marriage daily.

-Put faith in God’s plans for marriage. Trust His plans are far better than yours.

-Pray to be free from the spirit of division.
