It means being patient with your spouse often, the same with your kids, and marriage. Patience also means being able to prevent yourself from saying hurtful things to your spouse during a heated conversation. In other words, not lashing out at your spouse Ecclesiastes 4:9 Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor…” (NIV)

“So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. And God blessed them. And God said to them, ‘Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.'” (ESV)

What does patience look like in our lives? Scripture gives us a good picture of true patience: “Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God” (James 1:19-20).

Pursue patience in your marriage with prayer and peace.
