Fellow spouse, Well, if you never really thought about it let me tell you. And, that is this. " Marriage 1is to make us holy not just happy."
I don't know if what I'm gonna say next is gonna tone down the pain. Who knows? Perhaps it does for some people. And, that is this. "
God always has a purpose for the pain, when we commit it to him. And, knowing that is gonna help me how? Knowing that is supposed to make one feel better?
Here's another thing that will make you feel better. ( I know it won't. I'm just kidding) And, that is this. With marriage comes conflict. Told you guys I was kidding.
Be mindful and realize that you and your spouse are just 2 different people. Accept one another's flaws. (Wait, didn't you already do that? You did go through with the marriage).
Here's an idea. Learn to grow from it. Instead of letting it destroy you.
Personally, I know the thorn in my flesh is my MS.
Sorry, to those Of you guys who don't like it when I talk about it or in this case read or write about it. I never really understood that. These people don't even have to live with it. I do. And, It's been like almost 20 years already.
So, yeah I know I have good days and bad days when it comes to this. However, it's part of who I am. Not to say that I have come to a 100% hearty welcome of this disease.
However, to reiterate it's been a long time and it's part of who I am. So, I learn to deal with this thorn because that's what I have to do. And, the best part is I have someone to do it with me.
Keep in mind there is no marriage that is perfect. NOT ONE! Do me and my spouse fight? Yes, sometimes in the most stupidest of ways.
Do we fight because of my MS? We fight because of what my MS has prohibited me from being able to do. We fight because we both get so Frustrated to the point where we say or do things we may end up regretting later on.
That's why we need God in the center of our marriage!
• Your spouse is a gift God gave you. Your spouse is not a thorn.
• A thorn is really any kind of difficulty, but your spouse is not one.
• Marriage comes with thorns because we are human.
• Thorns are a gift from God through Satan. God wants to develop us.
• In order for us to have self control, perseverance, kindness and more, we need to go through thorns.
• Thorns don't go away, that's how you know it's a thorn.
• Growth comes through discipline.
• Thorns in marriages keep us from exalting ourselves. They remind us we are human and that we need God.
• Pray to God is you want it removed, if he doesn't, seek God's wisdom as to why and ask him for his Grace.
• Victory over the thorn in marriage is only achievable through God's grace.
• For when we are weak, through Christ, we are strong

You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit. A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus you will recognize them by their fruits.
But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
And when they give the book to one who cannot read, saying, “Read this,” he says, “I cannot read.”
I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers. And I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I command him.
“The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you, from your brothers—it is to him you shall listen—
They settled from Havilah to Shur, which is opposite Egypt in the direction of Assyria. He settled over against all his kinsmen.
He shall be a wild donkey of a man, his hand against everyone and everyone's hand against him, and he shall dwell over against all his kinsmen.”
Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake
