Third Party in a Marriage or Relationship

Third parties are bad news. They are often the reasons for breakups in relationships and even marriages. They are considered pests in an otherwise perfect relationship. But of course, it is not easy to break a strong marriage, however, somewhere, somehow, when a third party shows up, the original couple tends to break up because trust has also been broken.

However, I know of one third party, who when we allow Him to get involved in our relationships and marriages, would even bring us closer together, make our love for each other stronger and make our bonds tighter. And that third party is God.

When we make God the center of our lives, we then make Him as the center of our affairs. Just imagine this love triangle--God on top, and we (our spouses and ourselves) at the bottom. The closer we draw to God, the closer we draw to each other. But the moment we draw away from God, the farther away we go from each other.

I am not saying that our marriage is perfect. But what I am saying is that God has really transformed our relationship and our love stronger. We have become closer and more intimate with each other.

If God has worked in our lives, He can also work in yours. And no marriage is beyond salvation when God works in our lives.
