Growing in Grace

This year my husband and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary. I shared some things I had learned about marriage at year Seventeen , Twenty , and Twenty-two . Here are twelve more things I would add to the list. Photo Credit When your spouse sins against you, remember that you too are a sinner and have sinned. There is no such thing as a little sin. Sin is sin and God views it the same. Just as God has forgiven us, so we should in turn forgive others. The parable of the servant who was forgiven his great debt, but then turned on the servant who owed him a smaller debt is a reminder of this truth (Matthew 18:23-35). Photo Credit Thinking of others as more important than ourselves. Marriage isn't about me and having my needs met. Marriage gives us an opportunity to honor God by serving our spouse. Don't begrudge meeting your spouse's needs. In serving your spouse, you are serving God. Unmet expectations. Often we focus on how our needs aren't being met
