Most couples have no idea of what God intended marriage to be, so they settle for the same substandard relationships that they see others experiencing. They think conflict is just a part of marriage and that a couple who simply coexist without outward battles is considered to be ideal, although that couple may have a cold war raging. As Christians, we don't have to settle for mediocre marriages. God intended our marriages to be awesome! God instituted marriage, so He certainly knows how to make it work properly. The only reason so many marriages in America end up in divorce is because the people involved don't follow the instructions God gave concerning marriage. It is that simple. If we want our marriages to be as good as God intended them to be, we need to realize that God's institution of marriage will only work with God's kind of love. We have to put the unconditional love of God to work in our marriages.
