CLOSE THE DOOR OF YOUR MARRIAGE
This story inspired me when I read it and I know It would inspire you to in your quest for effective mingling.
"My maternal grandmother died last year at 107 years,
Before her death, there is one word of hers that stuck to my heart. Which she first told me on my wedding day.
She said; "don't take lectures from external teachers in your marriage.
The external teachers will never teach you good things, they will tell you I can never take this, i can never take that, it is a lie, they take hundreds of what they advice you not take."
There is another tip I got from one of my older friend recently, she has been married for twenty something years....( I call her mummy though, but I found a friend in her)
She told me; "Always close the door of your marriage!"
I didn't understand her, so i repeated the question "close the door of my marriage, how?"
She told me never to give details to anybody including my relatives on the happenings in my home.
I have always heard advice like don't report your husband to your parents blah, blah, blah.
But this old advice came newly with modifications I.e,
if your husband gives you this amount, close the door!
if he hurts you talk to him, close the door!,
If he is building a new house, celebrate God together, close the door!
If he just got a promotion, close the door!
If he just there is a crisis in his place of work, pray together about it, close the door!
When you are planning to have another baby, close the door!
He bought a new property in your name, close the door!
The last disagreement you both had doesn't involve any 3rd party, therefore it is wisdom not to bring another party into the settlement."
Spiritually, married couple are never alone, they always have companies even though they are alone behind a closed door.
No matter how you see it, God is there and devil is there, who you mingle with and accommodate the most decides the pattern of the occurrences in your marriage.
If you choose God, it doesn't automatically means there won't be trials and tribulations but victory is sure at the end of the trials.
But a hopeless case is when couple are living in unforgiveness. It is a catalysts to many unplanned events that leads to a broken home.
May God grant us wisdom to get it together at all times.
