Broken Together

Lately, I have been listening to the song 'Broken Together' by Casting Crowns.  In fact I never heard of it, but was trying to find a song of theirs on YouTube and then I came across the title and it seemed perfect for my life right now.  The more I listen to it, the more touching it gets.

Mark Hall writes:

"Broken Together was inspired after several conversations I had with friends on relationships," says frontman Mark Hall, who wrote the song. "Marriage is tough, and it got me thinking about how we bring a lot of fairy tales to the picture when it comes to marriage. We think, 'This is going to be perfect. We're not going to have any problems.' And then the problems hit and you don't know where to file those into your picture."
Hall says he views the song as a reminder that people in hurting marriages can still have hope. "We are all broken people, but when we make the choice to meet each other where we are, God's love can make something beautiful out of our brokenness."

Ive been married before and I can admit to it being one of the most hardest relationships that you can have.  Its 2 people trying to come together and make something work as a team and when life comes at you, sometimes you can go against each other or it brings you closer.  I remember feeling like an everyday routine seemed like I had a roommate as we passed each other in passing to and from work.  I promised myself that my next marriage would be different.  I know trials and hardships will come, but I know its a relationship that I will continue to work
on each and everyday.  Marriage is a beautiful thing even when you cant stand to look at that person for whatever reason. 

I know I was made to be a wife.  I know I was made to submit and to encourage my husband.  I failed the first time, so now that I know what I know, I promise that I will be that supporting wife.  Alot of my friends have opened up to me about their struggles and that's what I want everyone to know.....Every marriage struggles!!!  It may seem as if  [NAME], they have the perfect life and their in love after so many years, but no one wants to admit the struggles.  No woman or man wants to admit that their spouse, looks at porn, talks to other people, drinks to much, hits them, spends their money foolishly, sits there and doesn't talk to them, or wants to leave.  Some people can reach out and ask for help, but we all our human and we all have temptation, we all struggle, we all wonder if we made the right choice in our spouse.  The enemy can easily put a pair of goggles on your eyes and make you blind to the love you have for your mate.  God can renew any marriage and make it more flourishing than before. 

No ones life is perfect and some of our dreams get shattered.  Either your spouse cheats, you cant have a baby, or you lose everything you have.  This song reminds me that when you get married, you feel like you have all these dreams ahead of you and your life is about to begin, but things don't happen the way we expected or wanted them too.  We all have seasons in our lives, some good, some bad, some learning, some calm, some back to back problems, but God is there always. 

Honestly, I don't know why I felt the need to write this.  I'm not married right now or struggling in a marriage.  Maybe its because I feel like my dreams are on hold, I'm not sure.  I do know that everything is going to be okay, because God is in control and I have allowed Him to take my reigns and guide me during this journey of my life.  I feel as if you anyone reading this who may be going through a rough patch in a marriage or even a relationship that you just give it to God and pray about it.  If your spouse is doing something that is against God, hand it over to God and allow Him to work in your spouses lives.  Maybe your marriage is going average, nothing great nothing bad, but the spark has died down, how about you think of an idea to romance your partner.  Possibly, your marriage is just going wonderful, you couldn't be the most happiest in your life, Thank God for your happiness!!!

I know alot of friends who would love to be married, to have a partner, a mate, someone that they can take a vow too and love on every night.  I know we are made to have a companion in this life, that's why Eve was made for Adam.

You could easily be single and loving it, Ive been there!!!  There is nothing wrong with that, being content in who you are and who you are in Christ, trusting in Him that He will bring you someone at the right moment, is a great feeling!

Either way, God loves you more than any person on this earth could.  He will always be there, He will never leave you, never forsake you and will always provide!!!  His love is true love!!
