Great marriages are created through God's refining fire, they don't happen accidentally. The purpose is to merge two people into one pure golden relationship.
When gold is heated, impurities come to the surface, but they were there all along. The refining process makes them visible and easier to extract. In the same way, being refined in marriage causes impurities to come out in the open which were there all along. Once they are in the open, then it's easier to remove them and build the marriage of our dreams.
Don't fear the fire; embrace it. It's the fire and refining that causes us to shines like pure gold! How we respond to the refining process determines whether our relationship will be complicated or blissful.
This devotional is an in-depth look into God's perfect example of love. When we love fearlessly, marriage becomes the blessing it was meant to be.
