Are There Parasites in Your Marriage?
If you watch Fireproof for only one single reason, make it the clip starting at minute 75, going to 78:35. WOW.
Basically, the husband has a porn problem. He’s reading this book, and it talks about parasites. Parasites are diseases that are stealing away what is good in a marriage. They’re sucking the life out. The line that gets him- “Destroy any addiction that has your heart.”
The lead character has to answer the question- who do you love more? The parasite or your spouse? Thankfully he makes the right choice and absolutely trashes his computer. I can see at least three marriages around me falling apart because of various addictions. It shouldn’t be that way.
When I was 18, I went on a mission trip to Honduras. I didn’t heed the warnings and drank the water. I got a MASSIVE parasite…going from both ends for four days straight. Don’t drink the water!
What parasites are in your marriage? Porn? A toxic friendship? Ungodly parents or in-laws? Overwork? Greed or stuff? A lack of willingness to live right? What’s more important- your parasite or your spouse?
