Toxic Love?

I've read so many posts about women in a "toxic marriage".


Christian women trying to fight for their rights in a "toxic marriage" can be very judgemental and not full of love but full of unforgiveness and anger. Women feel they have rights and we do. But sometimes you need to choose between your rights and your marriage, and no, you can't always have both but if I have to choose between fighting for my rights and fighting for my marriage, I'll pick fighting for my marriage because I gain nothing fighting for my rights. The world teaches us to fight for our rights but we are not of the world. It may sound shocking to the world, but there is no honor in fighting for your rights. And definitely no reward. If you dig deeper, it's about pride. And I don't want to fight for pride. I want to fight for something worth more -- love. Love is worth fighting for, not rights. Choose love.


Words like "toxic marriage" and "toxic family" are all of the world. The devil likes to label them to get rid of what is precious to God. Once the devil can convince you to label your marriage as such or label your spouse or parent as a narcissist, that is basically the end of a marriage and family. It's like there is no hope left for it. Marriage and family are built on love. It's like calling it "toxic love" -- there is no such thing -- only a broken marriage and a broken family that needs prayer in perseverance.


Many have prayed their spouses to the point where they are today and it is worth it. Takes decades and roller coaster rides but so. worth. it. We are Christians. We don't give up. We pray. And speaking of rights, no one has a right to give up on their marriage without evidence of decades of prayer.

"What? That's it? But then you loose your rights!"

"The hell with my rights!"

Jesus is the Son of God, not just a prophet

 30 I and My Father are one.” John 10:30 61 But He kept silent and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked Him, saying to Him, “Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?” 62 Jesus said, “I am. And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.” Mark 14:61-62 13 When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, “Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?” 14 So they said, “Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” 15 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” 16 Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” 17 Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. 18 And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. 19 And ...

Volunteering?

ea Nehemiah 11:2 2 And the people blessed all the men who willingly offered themselves to dwell at Jerusalem. Psalms 110:3 3 Your people shall be volunteers In the day of Your power; In the beauties of holiness, from the womb of the morning, You have the dew of Your youth. Dictionary Meaning: to offer oneself as a volunteer because they had the big picture I guess it can only happen when I see the big picture, not through my own eyes - the eyes of a mere person, but Your eyes. You are not bias, not one-sided. You see the benefit of everyone and You make sure that the best decision is made, with the least risk and the most returns. And only when I see from Your eyes, and not from a selfish point of view, can I liberally give my life up 100% to do Your will. because they wanted to do their part Sometimes, I feel like I have a part to play - just because I am part of this family, and being part of this family, everyone has to do their part - i...
