Keep in mind…social media arguments are new, but the media of the heart isn’t.
If there is “nothing new under the sun,” then we are not facing problems that are beyond God’s wisdom. The Scriptures have addressed the human heart from the beginning.
God’s solutions—love, forgiveness, humility, patience, sacrifice, grace, and commitment—are as effective today as they were generations ago.
Check out this verse…
A principle that has worked for 1,000’s of years.
Ecclesiastes 4:9,12
Two are better than one… Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.
The same book that acknowledges recurring struggles, also points to the strength that comes when two people stay connected to each other and to God. Marriage challenges may not be new, but neither is God’s faithfulness.
Stay Connected with God & to each other.
