One of the hallmarks of a loving relationship is giving up something for the sake of your partner. Is marriage worth the sacrifice?
You giving up something for the one you love. All of that time and energy spent on what he wants instead of doing what you want.

Initially, that sounds crazy! Why would you want to give up something?
Shouldn’t you be the priority first and then consider the other one?
Well, I guess it depends on who you ask and the timing of the question.
If a marriage is happy and all is going well, it doesn’t sound bad at all giving up something. But when your marriage is on rocky ground, like a fight just happened, you may not want to even consider that possibility.
Sacrifice is one of the purest ways to show your love.
We are reminded of this from how God sent his only Son to die on the cross for you and me.
He could of done something totally different. However, He wanted to show us what sacrifice truly meant; giving up of oneself.
Now, I’m not saying you need to go a literally sacrifice your life.
But take God’s lead in your marriage.
Sacrifice shows you are willing to pay a price; a way to show you care above anything else.
If marriage is worth the sacrifice, then how do you do it.
You want to create a pattern of giving.
The K.I.S.S. ~ Create a pattern of giving!
And notice, it’s a pattern of giving, not giving up. Love requires us to give. Give when we don’t want to. Give when we are tired. Give when we are crabby. Give when we are happy.
It’s going beyond what we feel like we can do at the time. Sacrifice may bring discomfort to you in the short term, but in the long term, the benefits far outweigh the immediate discomfort.
What does a pattern of giving look like?
- Trade your comfort for your spouse’s comfort.
- Let your words be giving. (how you phrase your requests, how you express your emotions, etc.)
- Let your actions speak louder than your words.
This is just the beginning of you sacrificing in your marriage.
There are so many things you can do. Things that you think are so simple, can be so big and impactful.
Don’t wait to show your love!
“Your marriage is worth the sacrifice! Are you ready to give?”
