JOHN: Let me finish, Sid. Let me finish, Sid. But let me say this. And I want you to keep your question but I want to say this. The thing that kept me from getting to become a better husband for Lisa was I kept feeling that the problem was hers when in reality it was blinding me to the problem was mine. Go ahead. What were you going to say?
SID: Okay. What about the person that’s been married for 30 years. Chronic problems. And they’re almost living separate lives. But everyone thinks they’re happily married. Is there hope for a couple that are both Christians. Is there hope for a couple like that?
JOHN: I think that couple need to
LISA: Absolutely.
JOHN: ask themselves a question. And the answer is absolutely. But they have to ask themselves a question. Right now their effectiveness in life, fruitfulness, ministry, everything is hampered because when there is friction between a husband and a wife their ability to be fruitful in this life is hampered. And I’m talking about the real fruitfulness. The kind of fruitfulness that endures. And so they have to ask themselves do I want to be right or do I want to be fruitful? Do I want to be right or do I want to have peace? And God has called us to peace. God has called us to be fruitful. That IS what God wants. So the thing that we’ve got to choose is okay. How do we start building? And I know that with Lisa. Lisa said it was you know God saying I’m enough for you. But with me I was so angry at Lisa that I went out and I just said God, I just, I see no hope. I see never an ability to reconcile. We are just so angry at each other. And the Lord, I’ll never forget this. He said I want you to tell I want you to name one thing that you’re thankful for, for Lisa. And I remember thinking okay. She’s, she’s a good mom. And then all of sudden what came up in my spirit was and she’s a good cook. And then what came up in my spirit was and, and she’s, she’s really tender-hearted and then, and then it just kept all of a sudden it was like a dam broke or something in the inside of me and I started going oh my gosh, and she’s this and I thank you that she’s that and I thank you for this. And I thought you are such a jerk! And I remember going back and looking at her and saying I have been so blinded. I’ve been so wrong. And so yeah, you may think there’s absolutely no hope that all the problems with your spouse. But I’m going to tell you something. When you allow God to open up your eyes because if God loves us when were hideous sinners and still His enemies. That means there is a love of God in you if you call Jesus Christ your Lord that you can love somebody who’s very unlovely. And if you love somebody that’s totally unlovely just like the love of Jesus won you over when you were an enemy and hideous, the love of Jesus can win that spouse over.
SID: I’ll tell you what.
LISA: And I want to speak
SID: Wait a second Lisa.
LISA: Yeah. Sure.
