Subject: All marriages are hard because they all have unavoidable and unanticipated challenges and trials. Marriage is hard because it is the union of two sinners who are engaged in the eternal battle between self-centeredness and servanthood, between living by emotions or living by truth, and between living for self or dying for self. Marriages can flourish or die on this battlefield, but God is faithful, and He has a gracious plan of heart-transformation for any wife who will commit her way to Him.
