We are THAT Family

If Your Marriage is Broken

by

It was 8:30 in the morning on a Saturday in January and we were still in bed.

Is there a better way to begin a weekend?

My husband flipped to his side and said, “I’m sorry.”

I stretched and yawned myself awake and that’s when I remembered we’d gone to bed the night before irritated at each other.

It was a stupid little fight. Aren’t they always? It wasn’t really about the price of ski pants (don’t ask). It was simply the result of two thick-headed people who both wanted their way and refused to budge.

We’ve been married 19 years. You’d think we would have moved past this stage–the one where we argue over insignificant things, get mad and pout. And we have in many ways. It happens less often and we get less angry and over it more quickly, but every once in awhile, I want my way more than I want to get along.

“I’m sorry, too,” I whispered.

And then we talked about why we got mad in the first place. It’s always a deeper issue. Most arguments about money are really about fear. Most arguments about parenting boil down to control or the lack of it. But on this particular lazy Saturday morning, the conversation led to a long talk about things we were struggling with personally.

When I reluctantly left the cozy down comforter for a quick shower, I felt like I knew my husband a bit more. I could see the stress and burden he carried more clearly. And I wanted to bless him. He understand why I was on edge and we vowed to love each other better.

That pillow talk wouldn’t have happened without first the struggle. When we can push past our little grievances and irritations and lift the veil of life and circumstances, we can grow together towards God, instead of apart.

Our world used to fix broken things, remember that? Our grandmothers darned socks with holes in them. Our grandfathers rebuilt and repaired damaged things. Our moms superglued little $1 store figurines.

Now we throw things away.

We live in a disposable culture that tosses damaged things because it’s easier. It’s quicker, it doesn’t require hard work or humility.

if your marriage is broken, don't throw it away. Fix it

If your marriage is broken, don’t throw it away.

Fix it.

Take your marriage back and fight for it. Talk. Forgive. Change. Confess. Laugh. Counsel. I understand that not every marriage is repairable. But for those who let little issues become bigger than they should, I urge you to fix what’s broken, instead of starting over.

We don’t do a lot for Valentine’s Day at our house. But we proudly show off our love all year long–there are less repairs that way when the storms of life hit.

While these shirts won’t fix a broken marriage, they are an easy way to get started–new Union28 “My Husband/Wife Rocks” T-shirts!

  3. Thanks for sharing honestly. It is such an encouragement to know others struggle to keep things mended when so many people don’t want to show their broken and mended places.

  7. Awesome post. I totally agree. It never really is about the fight/offense/etc. There is always a deeper pain. That is what you need to get down to. Figure it out, fix it and move on so that you both can so happily enjoy the marriage God has blessed you with!

  8. Loved this! Pinned right away. It’s nice to hear that even after 19 years, you’re still having the same old squabbles, even if you do handle them better than you used to. That makes my husband and I pretty normal, after our eight years. 🙂

I just can’t believe this now my ex Husband is really back to me, on his knees presenting a ruby rose begging me to take him back and he was feeling regretful and sorry for leaving me and for causing me pains after the divorce which occurred last year.

  17. I am very excited for contacting Dr ola who helped me get my ex husband back from another woman after 3 years of separation. I am very happy because I never believed in spell casting and contacting spell casters to solve my problem but after 3 years of separating from my husband being single, I had to contact Dr ola after I read about him online on how he has been helping people. I am glad he did. My husband came back to me within 48 hours, he begged me and the kids who needed their father back with them and I am very happy. I found this man through testimonies that he can also solve pregnancy and love problems that is why I contacted him to help me and within 48 hours my husband came back home and we are living happily together. you can reach doctor ola through  https://wa.me/2348075254670

  20. Priest Manuka. Thank you so much for helping to reunite me and my girlfriend! I didn’t think we would ever be able to work things out with all that had happened between us. But you wouldn’t let me be negative and you really did get her back to me! Thank you once again. Without your reunion love spell I know this would not have been possible. I really appreciate your efforts.

  29. I am living proof of what Dr Uwaifo can do. I thank you so much Dr Uwaifo for the wonderful thing you did in my relationship. I am so happy now. With your help I got reunited with my boyfriend, I was totally devastated when my beloved boyfriend left me. It was like my entire world vanishing into sorrow and pain. I know it sounds weird but after I contacted Dr Uwaifo, he was the only one to give me that impression of being so true and trustworthy. More than his words, My boyfriend apologized for the wrongs he did and promised never to do it again. Ever since then, everything has returned back to normal. I never thought a spell could help a couple before. I am very pleased to contact you, anyone who has a relationship problem can contact Dr

  57. Hello I’m so happy to sharing this, I still can’t thank you enough powerful PRIEST ELIJAH, My husband left for a younger lady because I was unable to give birth due to PCOS, I was so devastated I was lonely I cried a lot I even tried taking my life, Then my friend told me about this great man PRIEST ELIJAH who helped her made her marriage perfect, I also went online and did more research about him I was not too sure but I decided to give him a try he told me not to worry everything was going to be alright, He told me all I needed to pay which was a convenient fee and I did and he did his work and sent me video proof and told me to wait for 24hrs that he will be back, The next morning to my greatest surprise it was Shawn my husband on his knees begging I’m so happy, It didn’t stop there, I’m proud to say that I’m 3 weeks pregnant thank you so much, PRIEST ELIJAH, I’m forever grateful to him contact
