The Bullet of Marriage: Building Something Larger (Part 2)

The man must initiate the direction! Strong women demand greater leadership. A marriage will not conquer if the husband is passive and content only with his personal goals. God has called them to build a heritage “together!”

Recognizing this and strategizing to move in the right direction is the basic issue of the “call of God.” You start from where you are … with all past mistakes and present agonies … and don’t quit as long as you love … no matter on how many “cross experiences” you have to hang!

Your mate’s weakness is rarely, if ever, reason enough to justify your weak response. Christ responded to our weakness not by being weak (staying in Heaven or refusing to die on earth), but in strength by going to the cross!
