You have to understand this before marriage. You will have challenges as couples and as individuals. And you both must trust God to help you out through those challenges.
Some will come even in courtship. Some at early marriage, some in the middle of the marriage and some when you both are old together.
But the most important is trusting God together and praying to overcome. A believer’s marriage must not loose battles, they must fight to win. So when there is unity in the home, you will fight and win together.
Fear is a great challenge you both must overcome. If there are challenges at early marriage some men may think they have married a bad wife. In some cultures they have what they call “bad legs” of a wife.
They believed that if there are some calamities after marriage it means the wife brought it. Why can’t this be caused by the man too? This thinking is devilish, unscriptural and therefore unaccepted by Christian fold.
I don’t know the stages of my marriage that we didn’t faced challenges. But we trusted God and won all.
There are wisdom to push for each challenges too and not just prayers. In fact, some challenges need more of wisdom than prayers. You can seek a marriage counselor if you feel you need one at some points of your marriage. Don’t die in silence!
Some great challenges are health, sex, finance, in-law, career, kids, job, spiritual and lots more. There is no one that you can’t scale through and move to other phases of your marriage successfully with God.
