Is Compromise acceptable in Marriage?

Welcome dear readers. Today's segment deals with "Compromise".
Is compromise acceptable in marriage? First, let's take a good look at the word "compromise". Does it mean to give in; or just come to acceptable terms.

Well my dear friends, compromise is a literal agreement, be it in writing or verbal. It is the mutual consent from both parties; since we are dealing with marriages, it is consent from both husband and wife.

Now, what exactly are we compromising here? Principles, relationship, or just situations that warrant an adjustment. Of course, in the marital world, we are putting the emphasis on relationships. That's really where the meat of your entire marriage experience lays. It is the heart beat, if you will, of your marriage.

Now.......should we compromise our relationships. The Holy scriptures say ONLY IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES THAT DEAL WITH SPIRITUAL THINGS. Check it out:
1 Corinthians 7:4
The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife. ...what do you think that actually means? It is the binding covenant that was made between the two parties at the inception of the marriage relationship. In other words, there should be NO compromise accept by consent. (for a legitimate reason)

Marriages that are not committed to that covenant of vows are usually always in compromise. Getting by with what you can is not the "life time commitment" you vowed at your wedding ceremony. Compromising relationships tend to end up in the divorce courts simply because there are no set lines to cross; and let's face it, the human instinct is adventurous unless prohibited by a standard, or a guideline, moral or otherwise. Remember the old saying: IF YOU DON'T STAND FOR SOMETHING, YOU'LL FALL FOR ANY THING.
Marriage is that institution with a set of principles, commitments, guidelines,standards and above all a covenant bond. Anything short of that is a compromise and should never be classified as a marriage.
Kind of strong?. . . . well marriage is strong, that is, if it is approached and executed in the way that God hath set forth. Yes, my friends, marriage is the beautiful world of "no compromise", but rather an everlasting love relationship bond.
When you decide to step up to the plate in marriage, you will find out that this life time experience is one of life-fulfilling moments that can only be appreciated by those who have committed themselves to each other.. . . and please.....what ever you do, don't leave The Lord out of your marriages.

God Loves you and so do we. Have a wonderful day and enjoy your marriages.

Yes my friends.........You are Blessed!
