Summary: When There Is No Return On Your Investment First we need to clarify what this means. What we are discussing today is when it feels like one spouse is investing more then the other. This is not when there are major sin issues, affairs, or abuse these are areas which need professional guidance. This is simply a period of time in a marriage where one spouse may be working harder on the marriage then the other. There are some actions that we can take during this time. The first thing we need to be doing, and often times it is sadly our last resort, is prayer. We need to be praying for our spouse, marriage and areas we can do better to serve our spouse. Next we can decide who we are truly doing this for. If we are doing marriage to meet our needs then we will be disappointed. Our focus should be to serve our spouse, because by doing this we are ultimately serving Christ. Something that will help as well is to “take captive every thoughtâ€. If there are negative thoughts about your spouse choose to focus on positives. What do they do well? Are they a great parent, hard worker, anything that is a positive trait that you can focus on and be grateful for. These are just a few ideas, for more things to do listen to today’s podcast. Â
