Fierce Marriage

The Wonder of Contentment


Listen Later

Like a virus, discontentment infects and sickens every healthy aspect life and marriage. It infects our affections, our views of each other, and our very trust in God. Author Nancy Wilson wrote, "Contentment is the result of spiritual strength that comes directly from Christ. Contentment is the ability to stay satisfied with God’s will in all circumstances, whether easy or difficult. Though it is simple to understand, it is certainly not easy to do."

In this week's episode, we looked at the wonder of Christian contentment and explored practical ways to nurture attitudes of trust and gratefulness within marriage. We hope you leave this episode with an ambition to rejoice and love Christ wherever you're at.

As we mentioned, our brand new marriage learning project, Gospel Centered Marriage is now LIVE. It's a great way to start your year getting trained and on the same page. Visit https://GospelCenteredMarriage.com to learn more.
