When working in the reality of your expectation for your marriage, you have to begin to see beyond your present situation. Look at the plans of God for your life and family life. Husband, can you see a turnaround in the character of your wife? Can you see an abundance of peace, joy and harmony in your home? Wife, what do you see? Do you see your husband turning from his sinful habits to pleasing God this year? Do you see his business going up and he begins to provide more for the family? Can you see serenity in your home?
For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off
Proverbs 23:18
As far as you can see, it shall be given to you. It is only what you see that you can possess. Stop seeing the negative. Stop seeing your business going down because of general economic problems. Stop deducing reasons why you think your family will not work. Stop celebrating failure.
Believe God and let it be counted to you for righteousness. If God has said it, let it be settled in your heart and in your actions, that He will do it. Make up your mind to believe God’s Word in Proverbs 4:18 which says “it can only get better”. No previous year will be better than the current one for you and your family. See what is good and you shall always have it.
Do not determine the happenings in your home this year by the environment. See into the plans of God for your life and family life, and assure yourself of the best of times ahead. God has promised to grant your expectations. So, let your expectations be based on God’s Word, for it is higher than any evil experience or information you may have had or heard about marriage.
If you are already married, there is still a chance to change all negative expectations. As a couple, discuss your positive expectations and I guarantee that things will work out more smoothly in your home. Again, for single young men and women, what do you expect in marriage? It is important you set your expectation before getting into marriage. Your expectations shall not be cut off! Till today, those expectations have not been cut off. If you expect the best, it will be yours!
Prayer: Father, I repent from every ill expectation. I receive grace to see right and expect the right things. Help my relationship and marriage from the bondage of ill expectations in the Name of Jesus, Amen.
