Changes in a Marriage

Change is a normal part of life. Through out your life you have probably also changed. Those changes have come through life experiences whether they be good or bad experiences.

Marriage is one of the parts of life where you make changes. They may be changing location, living situations, or simply finding a balance sharing a life with someone else.

The biggest change in a marriage is the change from being individuals to becoming one. Not only becoming one with each other but also with God.

In Genesis 2:24 it says, “That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.”

Why change is not always bad in a marriage.

I don’t mean changing in the way that society tells you to change the person that you are married to. I mean in the way God intended for you to change with and in your marriage. To grow deeper with him as a couple.

This does not mean that there will not be some things that may need to change. But the Holy Spirit can help guide both of you in your marriage and help you make the changes that may be necessary.

If feel like my spouse is constantly trying to change me.

Depending on your temperament and your spouses temperament this can be a feeling for may people in their marriage. Some temperaments can be dominating which can be very difficult for a spouse in the marriage, and can lead a spouse to deep feelings of rejection.

Knowing your temperament and your spouses temperament can open doors to healing from those feelings of rejections. It can also lead to understanding and can help both spouses make healthy changes in their marriage.
