The word “quit” in this heading is not a synonym for divorce. I’m not talking about divorce, the “quit” I’m referring to is slightly different. There are couples who have decided to remain in unhealthy relationships, but have emotionally checked out. For whatever reason, whether it’s cheaper to keep her or it’s just more convenient to stay, these couples are purposely contributing to unhappy marriages.
While their decision to stay might be considered noble to some, if the effort doesn’t match it’s really pointless. It might seem strange to label it ‘contributing’ when it refers to something unhealthy, but it happens often. Participating in the negative energy, bickering and finger pointing are just some of the examples. A relationship, especially a marriage, cannot survive if there is no energy or lifeline. Expecting something to improve without taking action, will continue to lead to disappointment.
Being unhappy is a choice that can be changed at any time; any time both partners decide. Unfortunately, one of the partners usually has to lead by example. And if you are consistently playing that role, it makes sense that you’re ready to throw in the towel. But here are a few reasons I’ll challenge you to fight just a little bit longer and harder.
BMWK, what reasons would you add for not quitting on your marriage?

What if your love quit on you? They walked away what do you need to do then?
You must begin the next part of your journey. Surround yourself with people who love and support you. Those who want to see you move on to the happiness you deserve and can encourage you in that area.
Do not give up on your partner. I repeat do not give up on your partner. Even if they walk away. Its the enemy. Don’t let the enemy win. Especially, if you are married and there are kids. God didn’t say that marriage was suppose to be easy and filled with happiness all the time. Listen to God as to what you should do. Don’t listen to anyone else. Read the word. Its clear as to what marriage is for. Walking away is easy. Divorce is easy. You made the vow in front of God for better or for worse, til death do we part. Did you mean it? Or was just phileo love. Learn what agape love is.
Again listen to God. Remember your vows, did you mean it?
God loves you and your spouse. He will neither leave you nor forsake you. Do you believe it? One thing is for sure when our father said to us, he meant it! And his love is shown to us everyday.
Again, as hard as it may seem now…Did you mean what you said?
