Married to the Mob?

I suppose that you think I'm referring to some organized crime group, or perhaps even a movie. Well, it's neither of the two. The Mob is simply all those other people that tend to have input in your marriage and interfere with it's progression. It's sad, but it's true.

Who exactly is the Mob, one may ask? .. Friends, relatives, co-workers, neighbors, yes and even parents too. Many will say that there's nothing wrong with a little advice from others, especially if they're experienced. How wrong you are!

The Bible clearly teaches us that the moment you take on the vowels of marriage, it is at that very moment that you both leave everyone else, including parents, and cleave or join one to the other to become ONE! ; says Matthew 19. Our focus then should rely on the goals, future, and well-being of each other.; the union called Marriage.

Far too many marriages are destroyed because of bad information from others, and sadly enough, some of that information is designed to disrupt your marriage, simply because their motives were wrong. The divorce courts are full of marriages who have received information from the wrong source, and even some interaction by outsiders has caused your marriages to be where it is today. All because one of you or perhaps both of you are "married to the Mob" instead of each other. Pretty strong words eh?

Well, after all is said and done, there is still some light at the end of the tunnel. Thank God, that He loved us so much, He makes a way of escape for every situation. says Psalms 61:2 when my heart is overwhelmed, lead me to the rock that is higher than I. You will always encounter situations in life that seem to be more than you can handle. That's why God's Word is available to guide you and sustain you. Believe it or not, you have more than enough help for your marital issues. The scriptures declares: He will never leave you, nor forsake you. . .Hebrews 13:5.

So if there is going to be any divorce in your life, let it be the divorce from the Mob, not each other!

Keep looking up, because your redemption draws nigh! Be Blessed!
