Finishing Your Marriage Without Regrets
- https://drcarolministries.com/finishing-your-marriage-without-regrets/

Marriage is for our benefit here on earth. Marriage can sometimes seem endless and tedious, but it is temporary. And when it’s over you will want to be able to look back without regrets.

Every now and then you see a story or video about a couple who was married for many decades and died in their 90s within minutes or hours of each other. Most of us, me included, will not be blessed with that experience. In most marriages one spouse will precede the other in death by years or even decades.

In looking back at the years I was married, I’m grateful for the ways in which I loved my husband well. I also remember how hard it was on occasion to remember the “long view” during periods of fatigue, sickness, or confusion. There are certainly things I wish I had done differently, though my regrets are few.
When your husband or wife dies it’s too late to love them well. Here are a few things I would encourage any married person to embrace, knowing you will want to look back at your marriage without regrets.

1. Say what needs to be said.

Hard conversations are hard! It’s so much easier to let things slide. It takes courage to broach the difficult topics. That includes talking about things such as:
• What’s important to you about death, and final arrangements
• Financial matters
• Your and your spouse’s eternal standing with God
• Things you need to ask forgiveness for, or forgive your spouse for
• What you love and appreciate about each other

These are not topics to get past in a one-and-done conversation; they are things to prayerfully and tenderly talk about at the right times. Choose the setting thoughtfully, study your spouse to know how they will be most able to hear you, and be courageous in bringing up the painful or difficult topics. Do an awful lot of listening.

There will come a time when you will wish you had said what right now seems too difficult to say. I’m so very grateful for the hard conversations Al and I did have. There are more things I wish I would have said, but now I hold on to everything we DID say to each other. Don’t put these conversations off because they are hard. Hard and uncomfortable is better than too late!

2. Deal with your stuff.

You can only love your spouse well to the degree you have dealt with your own junk – habits, false messages, addictions, trauma, selfishness, etc. None of us are perfect! But becoming functional means your stuff is not in charge; you are.

If you’ve been through trauma in the past (and almost every one of us has been), intentionally seek healing so that your scars don’t continue to wound your spouse. Do whatever it takes to deal with your addiction so your spouse is not victimized also. If po*******hy, anger, food addiction, people pleasing, or anything else is an issue for you, get serious and get help if you need to. While you must do this for you, perhaps realizing how it will benefit your husband or wife will give added fuel to your motivation.

The Holy Spirit will continue to work on you as long as you live. But getting past your dysfunctions will dramatically impact how well you can love your spouse. Do it now; that may be one of the best gifts you can give your husband or wife.

3. Love your spouse well.

That does not always mean being nice! It does mean being the person God needs you to be to your spouse in this season. As you get over your own stuff you can do this better and better.
Be intentional. Take the time to pay attention. Study your spouse; who are they really? How are you showing up in your marriage? What’s it like to be married to you? If your spouse suddenly was not there, would you be able to look back at the way you have been loving them and not have regrets?

Remember that both you and your spouse are sinners; those are the only humans available for marriage! In a healthy marriage God intends for both partners to find significant healing; are you being a vehicle of that healing for your spouse?

And say I LOVE YOU often! In both words and deeds. Don’t make the mistake of thinking your words are enough if you sabotage or demean your spouse in other ways. And don’t believe your spouse knows how you love them by your actions alone; they needs words as well. Love languages differ; it helps to know your individual love languages.

As the six-year-old little girl said, “If you love someone, hurry up and show it!”

Love your spouse well while you can; you will want to finish your marriage without regrets or at least as few of them as possible.

Your Turn:

Are you on the way to finishing your marriage without regrets?
If your spouse were suddenly not there, what kind of regrets would you be left with?
Few? Many?
Is there anything you would like to change now?

The key to finishing your marriage without regrets is to love your spouse now such that you will look back knowing you loved them well.

The Key to Filling Your Empty Soul
https://drcarolministries.com/the-key-to-filling-your-empty-soul/

• How do you deal with your empty soul?
• Do you retreat into a hole, waiting for someone to pull you out?
• Do you deteriorate into a TV junkie/couch potato/social media addict?

Maybe you lash out at anyone who dares to enter your space, including the dog. Or you keep trying to force things as if trying to run through waist-deep water.

Life drains all of us. Busyness, relationship issues, parenting, financial stress, illness, difficult people–they poke holes in the internal bucket of your soul and you leak.

And if your internal reserves are already low, a larger-than-normal leak can quickly drain any remaining resilience you have. Your creativity evaporates, even minor stresses overwhelm you, and you struggle to see anything positive in the world.

I’ve learned the warning signs that indicate I’m running on empty. I let small things upset me, sometimes to the point of tears. I’m always embarrassed when I get to that point, but I’ve learned to see it as a warning sign that I need to pause and offer my soul some care and nourishment.

So what can you do to fill your empty soul in healthy ways?

Learning to Feed Yourself

When your stomach is empty you find something to eat. Sometimes it’s a quick snack – the healthier the better.

Sometimes you sit down to savor a gourmet meal that may have taken hours or even days to prepare. Your body does best when you regularly eat a variety of good quality food.

But what you don’t do when you’re hungry is sit down at the table and complain when nobody shows up to feed you.
God knows you need to eat regularly, and He makes a wide variety of food available. He makes grain grow in the field, but He doesn’t harvest it, grind it, bake your bread, and hand you a sandwich. He makes fish grow in the sea, but He doesn’t catch it, skin it, bake it, and put it on your plate for dinner.

You don’t create the food out of nothing: God is the Creator. But you and I are responsible to know when we’re hungry, find appropriate food, prepare it, eat it, and actually metabolize it.

Some food tastes better, and some food is more nourishing. But it’s up to you to find, choose, and eat it – actually take it into your being.

You learn to feed yourself.

It the same with an empty soul. God makes an infinite variety of soul nourishment available. But you are responsible for knowing when you’re hungry, finding appropriate nourishment, taking it into your being, and metabolizing it. That may take effort. You may not always immediately get your favorite soul nourishment.

But here’s the key:

You must learn how to feed your own soul.

You don’t create soul food out of nowhere, and not all soul food is equally nourishing. But you are the one who must proactively choose to look for and take in what your soul needs.

Where to Find Soul Food

You need a variety of soul nutrients, and you get to choose. Become curious about what nourishes you; it’s as unique as the kinds of physical food you like and don’t like. Here are a few categories to think about.

Stillness vs. Stimulation. Most of us are overstimulated. We face constant input from television, smart phones, and social media. Such data overload drains your internal bucket. Going non-digital for a couple hours, an afternoon, a weekend, may revolutionize your sense of being refreshed.

Natural vs. Artificial. Our lives are saturated with everything man-made; buildings, cities, media, noise, pollution. Some of it is good, some not so good. But when your soul needs to be filled up, there’s something about nature that meets a need nothing else can. The sound of rain, a bird song, sand under your bare feet, the feel of a tree’s bark – it reminds you of the Creator who made all that, and who made you too.

Inspiring vs. Entertaining. Most media capitalizes on the sensational, the superficial, or the scandalous. Entertainment may keep you “vegged out,” but it won’t nourish your soul. On the other hand, there are certain books, movies, music, podcasts, or even TV programs that lift, fill, and enlarge your soul. You can tell the difference by the effect your inner heart experiences.

Solitude and Connection. This one is both-and; you truly need both. If you don’t know how to be alone without disassociating into media, learn! It will be uncomfortable, but absolutely vital. And you also must have deep connection with a few healthy-enough people. Do the hard work to find your people, find a friend. Solitude and connection are both worth intentional energy.

Earthly vs. Eternal. Things we can see, feel, and touch are important. God created the Garden of Eden as a very physical place. But you and I were also created for more than this earth. We were created for eternity. Time spent reading Scripture, in prayer, being with Jesus alone or with other believers, or just being in silence in the presence of the Lord – these nourish the part of your soul that only God can fill.

Two Questions

You don’t think it strange when your body needs food, or that some foods lead to better health than others. So, ask yourself these similar questions about how you nourish your soul.

How do you know your soul is empty?
What are the unique emotional signals you feel?
How do you behave differently when your soul is depleted?
What tells you you’re running on empty?
And then, what soul food is most nourishing to you? When do you feel most alive, most refreshed, most creative? What people, activities, or places fill you up?

Think about spending time with positive uplifting people, time taking in beauty from art, music, and nature, time feeding your mind with uplifting books, podcasts, and good media, and time with God.

Continuing to run on empty will never turn out well. Notice the signals that indicate you have an empty soul, and learn to feed yourself with the nourishment you need. Notice what fills you up, and find ways to do more of that.

Your Turn:

• What signals tell you that your soul is running on empty?
• Can you name a few things that provide you with soul nourishment?
• How can you do more of that?
How do you feel and act when your soul is empty? Like with physical food, you’re responsible for learning to feed yourself. You don’t have to give into an empty soul.

You can become aware of these things that signify an empty soul. And this key to filling your soul will work every time.
