Bible Reading Proverbs 4:1-8

Handling Your Differences

Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.

Proverbs 4:7 (KJV)

One of the reasons couples face challenges in their marriage is because they are different. You and your spouse come from different backgrounds, you have different mind-sets and your approach to life will be different.

While our differences have the potential to mar our marriages, they also have the potential of building it up. It all depends on you. Marriage will either make you bitter or better, depending on what choice you make.

Be determined to get the best out of your marriage. See every challenge as an opportunity to increase your capacity and love your spouse better. Your differences can bring you and your spouse closer rather than tear you apart.

TAKE ACTION
Always look out for opportunities to get to understand your spouse better.
