A Little Encouragement for Couples

Hello Everyone,

It is no secret that there are many couples out there that are having a storm and do not feel there is much strength left in their relationship.  I am no relationship expert, but I know that the economy is impacting so many people, people overall are stressed from job drama, or job loss, bills piling high, feelings of being taken for granted and living in the grind of everyday hustle and bustle.  Everyone is moving at such a fast pace, somehow the kindness and compassion of strangers have been lost in society and bad attitudes are flying everywhere, the littlest thing can set a person off, this adds onto the daily challenge and before long couples individually are over extended and burnt out.  There are challenges on every front and it seems that there is no relief in sight.

Sometimes couples just have to exhale, sit still and talk.  Through everything pray, not just individually, but together and commit to making the biggest effort to taking care of each others heart.  It is so easy to vent frustrations on the wrong person only to add fuel to a flame.  It can be a battle to stay together when it feels like all forces are against you and pulling you apart.  It may be a good thing to just let the "world out there" be, but when it comes to a relationship make your world safe, a good place to be and filled with love that has staying power.  We can not control those in the world, but we can choose to be good to each other and claim peace.  Sure, there will be disagreements, but to what extent?  That is where the power of peace is in your hands.

Again, I am no expert, but just wanted to encourage those in a relationship that are struggling who mutually want to make it work.  I hope the video help to heal.
