Dr. Henry Brandt, a Christian psychologist, spoke at a conference we attended. He taught us some truths that revolutionized our marriage. He said that the person we married is not able to meet our needs, because he or she is only human — only God can meet all our needs. That was a new way of thinking for me, but I knew instantly it was the truth.

And I began to change! I stopped expecting Marvin to meet my needs (at least most of the time) and began to go the Word and the Lord when I felt needy. And I changed. I was happier. I began to thank God for all my husband’s wonderful characteristic traits. In response to my changed attitude, Marvin became sensitive to my needs. Amazing how God works!

Sometimes I still slip into my old way of thinking, but not for long. Only God can meet my needs. Jesus satisfies!

How are you doing in your marriage? Are you expecting your spouse to meet your needs? If so, pray the prayer below and begin looking to God, your Creator, to meet your needs.

Father God, I acknowledge that I have put pressure on people to do for me what only You can do — to satisfy all my needs. From this day forward, I will look to You and Your Word to fill me with everything I need. Thank You! Amen.

If you have never began a relationship with God and would like to start one today, you can do so through a simple prayer of faith:

"Lord Jesus, I need You. Thank You for dying on the cross for my sins. I open the door of my life and receive You as my Savior and Lord. Thank You for forgiving my sins and giving me eternal life. Take control of the throne of my life. Make me the kind of person You want me to be."

What do my husband and I do to keep our interest in each other?
