In our journey of faith and relationships, we often encounter clichés that seem to offer simple solutions. However, as we delve deeper, we realize that true wisdom lies beyond these surface-level statements. One such cliché we explored is 'Happy wife, happy life.' While it may sound appealing, we discovered that making our spouse's happiness the sole focus can lead to unhealthy patterns and neglect of God's greater purpose for our marriages. Instead, we're called to seek a vision for our family that aligns with God's will, balancing our desires with discipline and long-term goals. This reminds us of Proverbs 29:18, 'Where there is no vision, the people perish.' By focusing on God's vision for our lives and marriages, we can build stronger, more purposeful relationships that weather the storms of life and grow deeper with time. -- Have a question about relationships?
