Hello God! My marriage is in serious trouble and headed for divorce. Please save my marriage and restore my life. Does this sound familiar? Are you dealing with infidelity, mental, verbal or physical abuse, anger, trust or commitment issues and feel like the only relief you will get from your pain and suffering is a divorce?

Well I have some good news for you. God is able to help you save your marriage and God can also help you have a strong healthy marriage. The bad news is it will take some willingness, action and commitment on your part to make it happen. It's also important for you to believe that it's God's desire for you to remain married so he will do his part to see that you do.

One of the keys to saving and changing your marriage is to make sure your relationship with God is solid. God should be the center of your life and marriage. If your relationship with God has been inconsistent or non-existent you probably should reconcile your relationship with God before you try to save your marriage. It makes it much easier for you to fix your marriage when your relationship with God is right.

What God wants from you is something your spouse also desires from you. That is for you to get closer and to give your all to the relationship.

Getting Closer

If you want to get closer to God and to your spouse you need to make the decision in your mind and in your heart to do so. It's one thing to say you want a closer relationship but another thing for your actions to back it up. If you don't make a concerted effort to spend more time together it's hard to please God or your spouse and save your marriage. You can't let your busy life get in the way of your marriage and relationship with God. If you do you will continue to have to ask God to please save my marriage before I get divorced.

Give Your All

God expects the best from you and so does your spouse. You were blessed with uniqueness that no one else in this world has. There was only one of you created to be a blessing to others during your lifetime and giving your all to your spouse and marriage will please God, your spouse and believe it or not you. Giving less than your best in your marriage is unacceptable, even if your spouse doesn't feel the same way. Giving your all includes being patient, kind, forgiving, gentle, unselfish and loving. It's hard at times to give your all but if you do you will never have regrets, doubts or be disappointed that you didn't try your best.

Will God answer your plea to please save my marriage before I get divorced? I don't know but I do know that God would like to have your commitment and heart and with God in your corner all things are possible.

It might be a good idea to ask God to help you be the best spouse that you can be and begin taking some practical steps to back up your words with action. Let your relationship with your spouse mirror your relationship with God.
