giving up

• Romans 15:5 (NIV)

---

I realized that I am good at giving up when I get disengaged; to me at the time things really don't seem to matter - except for me and my feelings. This hits home with me about my marriage. When my wife and I are deep in the weeks of a "discussion" I stumble, loosing my endurance and begin to give up on getting anywhere.

I know Paul isn't addressing me in his letter but God is and He is telling me "I put you and your wife together and now you need to run and finish the race." There is no "I give up" or " I don't want to" just run. I know that I can because He live in my wife and I, I forget that often and that's when I sit down and loose momentum.

I makes me try to always remember and pray "God, my wife is not against me, we are teammates please help me always approach her with the mind of she has my best in mind and I let you worry about the times when she doesn't.
