The Bible tells us to renew our minds daily. This seems easy until we try doing it in our marriage. Then we want to hang on to the old mate, and beat them up for what they did 20 years ago. When we married, we married a human being. Human being are marred. (Jeremiah 18:4) If we renew our mind then we think differently, about everything, and everyone. Too often we want to pick and chose what room we want to remodel, and burn down the rest of the house. This is a formula for disappointment and disaster.
In every marriage there are moments that are worth a life time. Think with me for a moment about the photographs in your mind. The day you said, "I do". The day you bought your dress. The birth of your first child. Your first home. Your first Christmas. All the special intimate times you shared together. Photographs in your mind that made up your special "Marriage Moments" can begin to fade over the years. This is why it is so important to make new memories along the way. Try new things. Go new places. To do something new, you have to be willing to take a chance and become new, yourself. The Bible tells us to renew our minds daily. This seems easy until we try doing it in our marriage. Then we want to hang on to the old mate, and beat them up for what they did 20 years ago. When we married, we married a human being.

Too often we want to pick and chose what room we want to remodel, and burn down the rest of the house. This is a formula for disappointment and disaster. We get so caught up in the "Blame Game", we forget that we are 50% of the marriage. The "Blame Game" is that game our older brother Adam taught us in the garden. When you are negligent in your area of responsibilities, "Blame" the other spouse. We forget that we have issues, made mistakes and are a flawed vessel ourself. We want perfect from our spouse, when we are an imperfect. So, what is there, that we can do? We can spend time with the Potter ourself. Allow Him to make us into "another vessel". He can change everything. The Potter is known to make perfect the imperfect. The Potter is the creator of marriage, and He knows exactly what to do to make our marriages new again.
