His love unites

Day 30...Love brings unity
Today's Dare: Isolate one area of division in your marriage and look on today as a fresh opportunity to pray about it.  Ask the Lord to reveal anything in your own heart that is threatening oneness with your spouse.  Pray that He would do the same for them and if appropriate discuss this matter openly, seeking God for unity.
I've been stuck on this dare for 5 days now.  I've gone several different directions with my posts but I have erased all of them, none seem to really hit the heart of this dare.  Unity is so important in a relationship.  I know that we won't always agree on things but when there is division in a relationship, negativity begins to pop up and where there is negativity, a wedge starts to get driven between the two halves and when that wedge gets deep enough the two halves split and that's when things get messy.

None of us are perfect.  Grace and forgiveness need to be given to those we love.  Unconditional love that doesn't keep score, is what we need to provide for our mates.  Take a moment to ask for help in providing that kind of love for your spouse.  Look to the One that loves us unconditionally for guidance.
