Good -Life Devotional: HOW TO OVERCOME SELFISHNESS IN MARRIAGE (Part 1)
By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi
Selfishness is the primary reason behind marital crisis .
It is the nature of satan and having a personal one -of- a -kind relationship with God through Jesus Christ is the beginning of building a strong marriage or relationship.
Selfishness is a barrier to intimacy and growth in marriage. Overcoming it requires intentionality and a biblical mindset. Here are eight ways to cultivate selflessness in your marriage:
1. PRAY FOR HUMILITY
Prayer invites God to transform your heart. Philippians 2:3 says, “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves.” Ask God to help you prioritize your spouse’s needs.
2. PRACTICE SERVANTHOOD
Jesus modeled servanthood by washing His disciples' feet (John 13:14-15). Serve your spouse with joy, whether through small gestures or significant sacrifices.
3. COMMUNICATE WITH EMPATHY
James 1:19 advises, “Be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry.” Listen to your spouse’s concerns without judgment, and respond with understanding.
4. FORGIVE FREELY
Selfishness often stems from holding onto past hurts. Colossians 3:13 encourages us to forgive as the Lord forgave us. Let go of grudges to create space for love and unity
In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and manifestations of the fruits of righteousness in our homes.
PRAYER: Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as lord and saviour and receive the Holy Spirit and power to overcome selfishness.
