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!!
