Are you tired of doing your role as a wife without any replica from your husband? You have done everything possible to make your marriage work, but your husband is doing the contrary? Perhaps you have even involved a third party to help persuade him, yet he remains adamant. Such a situation can be discouraging, depressing, chilling, and disheartening. It is enough to make you give up, making you call it a day in the relationship.
I have an interesting news to tell you, the news is that you are not alone in this struggle; many women all over the world are experiencing it. As remaining in the relationship does not give you the happiness you are looking for, quitting it would not proffer the solution either. In fact, giving up may amount to double tragedy. A close associate of mind who separated with her husband once told me that it is worse to be outside marriage than bearing with its pains.
So, what is the way out? I am here to encourage you with a story of someone who faced a more devastating situation triumphantly.
There lived a man who went about doing good to everyone he came across with. He had some few friends who appreciated what he was doing and confided in him, but many rejected him and hated him with passion despite the good things he was doing for them. One day his enemies conspired together to eliminate him, but they could not find anything against him. So they came up with false allegations and succeeded in arresting and arraigning him before the court of law. All his friends deserted him and he was left alone to defend himself against a multitude of accusers. One of the friends who managed to the court denied him to his face. No one could stand with him and defied the false allegation against him, so his enemies got a judgement against him and he was killed.
Do you know what? This man came back to life after three days, what would you expect of him, revenge on his enemies and part ways with his friends, isn’t it? On the contrary, he did no evil to his enemies nor parted with his friends instead he blessed them. The very friend who denied him to his face he made him a leader among the other friends. This action of his ignited a strong love from his friends toward him that they were willing to die for his cause.
I am sure you know who this man is, his name is Jesus, and he is the Saviour of mankind. We have all read about him in the four gospels of the Bible. He is the only person who went on doing good to people amidst so much evil against him, without giving a second thought. He never felt tired nor discouraged by men’s attitude instead he continue multiplying his good works with a joyful heart Share on X. He said,
Is it easy to do these things from a human perspective? It is not. It takes the mind of Christ to do the things of Christ. The scripture says, “
So beloved, hand over your struggles to Jesus, and he will give you the grace to forge ahead. Your pains were nailed with him on the cross so you need not bear them anymore. Arise, and grab this abounding grace, and continue your good works until you have ignited an unquenchable love in your husband. Many ( I inclusive) have testified the amazing transformation work of the Holy Spirit in their families and yours is no exception. Only trust and obey.
Remain blessed.

Thankfully my husband loves me wonderfully and points me to Christ. However, we have our miscommunications and arguments at times. It’s in those moments I have to remind myself that I am supposed to show Christ to him just as he is to me. It’s very humbling!
Sarah says
To God be the glory, that is exactly what the scripture says husbands should do to their wives.
Lindsey Renee says
Amen sister! Praise the Lord, that our sins have been nailed to a cross and forgiven. We will never be perfect and far from it but with our new self and minds, let us be able to ask for help to the Holy Spirit who is there to help us along this journey on earth.
Sarah says
Yes dear.
Kathleen says
It’s so easy to give up when things get hard. Thank you for the reminder to keep doing good works.
Sarah says
That is what the Bible requires from us; to encourage one another.
Melissa says
Galatians 6:9 – Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. I think of this verse often to help me push through and remain focused on attempting to do good in all aspects of my life.
Sarah says
This scripture serves as a reminder indeed.
Susan Evans says
The love of Jesus always amazes me… He loved us while we were His enemies, chose us, and draws us to Himself!
Sarah says
He expects us to remain in him so that we can love like him.
Julie says
Loving my enemies is I need to work on, my default is to give the silent treatment or avoid. I pray I can be more like Christ and love those who aren’t loveable!
Sarah says
With God all things are possible.
Maryann says
I have learned that as you keep doing good, not only does your attitude change, your entire life does as well. Eventually people will see your walk and understand why you strive for goodness. Great reminder. Thank you.
Sarah says
That is true. Thanks
Erin says
It’s all in the “why!” If I’m doing it for him or for Him! God, help me to remember that You’re why I do all of this.
Sarah says
When we allow God to have his way in our lives he helps to do the impossible.
Kristi says
We can try and do things in our power, but if we allow Christ’s power to work through us, the results will leave us and those around us in awe.
Sarah says
Absolutely
Katie Braswell says
Amen! I receive this powerful word! Although my marriage is not on the brink of breakage, there are things that I must endure and keep on keeping on! This can be applied to all situations. Never tire of doing good; the good God called you to. I have found, the closer I am with God, the more grace I have towards the sinner I married!
Sarah says
Yes, dear, the message is to encourage us to remain steadfast in doing good.Apostle Paul admonished us that, ‘let him who thinks that he stands, take heed lest he falls. 1 Cor 10:12
