Summary: Marriage is different for everyone so please don’t feel pressured to compare your story and your relationship to someone else’s. Let God write your story and trust him as He leads you in and towards peace with your relationship. Many times, we have extravagant expectations for our marriage and unless we surrender those expectations to God, we can come up against disappointment, confusion, and manipulation. If you have ever identified as a master manipulator- especially in the context of intimate relationship- it is crucial to fully reset your heart and mind with Jesus. When you begin to be in an intimate relationship with Jesus, He begins to heal you in the ways that only He can. You’re brought from false hope to fullness and the desire that you once had to control becomes a desire to surrender and listen for His voice of truth. Bring your discouragement, frustrations, and questions to God and watch as he brings breakthrough.
