73. What should husbands and wives do when they struggle in marriage?
Because we live in a sinful, fallen world, there will be struggles in marriage, even for Christians. Husbands and wives will want to
A. remember their marriage vows and that God has joined them in marriage and promises to be with them;
B. confess that they are both sinners and in need of forgiveness, trust in Christ's forgiveness, and speak forgiveness to each other;
C. go to church together, read God's Word together, and pray together (this is essential for every marriage);
D. visit with their pastor for Confession and Absolution and, if need be, ask the pastor for help in finding a Christian counselor.
Read Ephesians 5:21-33. Consider the nature of sacrificial love in marriage.
