One of the hardest concepts to master in marriage, the two becoming one. So often marriages stumble over this particular bump in the road. Through out life we are taught to be independent.
DeWanna It has been said that a three fold cord is not easily broken. I believe this with every core of my being. But that doesn't mean that the very endurance of that cord want be tried. Every obstacle that can will come to try the cord of your marriage. The best way to guard against these test is to do some preventative maintenance.

With him in the center. Step 3: Let the word become the foundation buffer that keeps your relationship from over heating, burning out and shortages. Step 4: Don't get caught up tangled in other cords that are not going in the same direction as you. Whatever you do stay plugged in to the Father, in Jesus Name.

#fighting4marriage DeWannawhitted.com Christmas can be one of those holidays where couples either sink or swim. My earnest desire is to sail through this season without any ripples in the water in other words swim. In order to do this I must change some of the habits of yesteryear. I choose to no longer do the same things while expecting a different results. In order to accomplish this task I must be deliberate in my actions. Choosing to no longer fly on auto pilot. So with the season swiftly approaching. Here's a list of things I am choosing to do different.
1. To tell my husband the things I desire for Christmas. 2. Stay focused on the families needs and not spend over the budget. 3. Continue to bring joy into the home. 4. Pray more. 5. Spend less time complaining. And more time being grateful. This is by know means an exhausted list. What are some of things that could make your Christmas more bright? While putting a smile on the face of your mate. DeWanna #fighting4marriage Today's norm is for the man to carry the women. In other words to be the head of the household. But what happens when the tide changes. When the roll of the wife becomes the husband and vice versa. Some years back I was faced with this reality. My husband health was hit. It was devastating. I was overwhelmed with the sheer magnitude of hats I had to fill. Every roll my husband had on a daily basis became mine. My to do list never stopped. However my load got a lot heavier in moment.

Grasping hold to this truth I began to cry out to the Lord. Assuring him I was weak and needed his strenth to make it through those tough trails. The bible tells us to cast our cares upon the Lord for he cares for us. I must admit sometime my superwomen attitude acts as if I have things all under control. And there is exactly where my probelm begins. Control, the Lord has allowed so many situations and circumstances to help me understand He is GOD, Fully in control of every aspect of my life. Once I embrace this truth I find it is much easier to relax and allow GOD to be GOD. Sometimes one of my greatest weapons in Fighting4Marriage is to letting go. Putting GOD in the drivers seat of my life and me taking the back sit. Trusting He knows what He is doing and what is best for me. What lesson have you learned your marriage that you would like to share? DeWanna Whitted #figting4Marriage #GOD'sway One of the biggest assets in my marriage is the ability to come to an agreement. Not that we always see things eye to eye. We have learned it is best for us to we come up with a solution that benefits the both of us. I must admit sometimes it is difficult if both of us are not willing to see things from the others perspective.Sometimes it takes stepping into the others shoes to have a clear understanding of how they feel. It is then and only then can we stay on the same path. When we fail to walk in agreement satan tricks us into walking in different directions.
