Dennis Rainey: How do you know that you married the right person?
Guest: 1. The way a person can know they married the right person is, if they can picture themselves with that person in fifty years.
2. I would say time. If the marriage would last more than ten years, then I would know I married the right person.[ Read Full Transcript ]
Dennis Rainey: It's easy for someone to go through a tough circumstance in their marriage and let that thought nag them. "Did I marry the wrong person?" Let me encourage you. If that question arises, conquer it now. If you don't resolve the doubt quickly, it will hang like a distant cloud on the horizon of your relationship.
Let me assure you. You're married to the right person. Your mate is a gift from God and He wants your marriage to last. You may have gone against some biblical instructions in getting to where you are in your marriage right now. But the Scripture is clear. Don't try to undo what you think is a mistake by disobeying God and getting a divorce today.
One final thought. When you're faced with a situation that points out the differences between you and your mate, remember that they're God's perfect gift to you. He will help you learn to love and accept your spouse just as he is.
I'm Dennis Rainey, and that's Real FamilyLife.
