2 John 10:10 I (Jesus Christ) am come that you might have life abundantly

Prov 16:25 There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.

James 1:5-6 If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without
finding fault, and it will be given to him. But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt,

Col 3:13 Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another.
Forgive as the Lord forgave you.

1 Cor 13:4-7 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Mark 10:6-9 "But at the beginning of creation God 'made them male and female.' 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.' So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate."

Mal 2:16 "I hate divorce," says the LORD God of Israel - (He knows that pain it brings to people and in compassion He does not wish it on anyone)

1 Cor 2:9 Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which
God hath prepared for them that love him.

1 Peter 3:10-11 "Whoever would love life and see good days must ... turn from evil and do good; he must seek peace and pursue it.

Matt11:28-30 "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

Right now you are hurting, wanting to do something to end the pain. Have they cheated on you? Maybe you've just grown apart.

Is your hope the next person will be better? Maybe they have just told you it's over but you don't want to lose them.

God designed the closest relationship on earth between a man and a woman, marriage, to be the richest experience. Yet why do so many marriages and relationships end up separating? It is us in our "wisdom" who thought we'd make some changes to it, and then wonder what has gone wrong.

The problem may have started with how you began your relationship. What was your level of commitment at the start or was divorce an option for "it is just part of life"? How much in our world are relationships set on getting more than giving, for it's all about me and what I want.

It may look impossible right now and separating may feel good, but the struggles are far from over and they can get even more intense. If you don't fix what went wrong, you will take it with you into your next relationship. God does not want people living together for life in a miserable condition. His Word directs us how to enjoy life and relationships to the fullest, if we would give Him a chance to guide us.
