The term "Goliath" is derived from the story of David and Goliath found in the Bible. Goliath was a giant who intimidated and threatened the Israelites in battle.
However, David, a young shepherd boy, defeated Goliath with a mere sling and a stone. In essence, Goliath represents any problem or obstacle that seems too big to overcome.
In marriage, Goliaths can take many forms: financial challenges, infidelity, infertility, communication breakdown, lack of trust, laundry, the dinner, dishes, and dogs, and so on.
These issues can make a couple feel overwhelmed, helpless, and hopeless. But as the story of David and Goliath illustrates, every problem, no matter how big, has a solution, and every obstacle can be overcome.
Overcome with a single shot.
The K.I.S.S. ~ Overcome with a single shot!Here are three things couples can do to overcome their Goliaths in marriage:
1. Face the Goliath head-on: One of the biggest mistakes a couple can make when dealing with Goliaths in marriage is to ignore them. It is important to face the problem head-on by acknowledging its existence and discussing it openly and honestly. Only when a couple is willing to confront their Goliath can they begin to overcome it.
2. Seek help: No man is an island, and no couple can overcome a Goliath on their own. Seek help from trusted family members, counselors, coaches, trusted friends, pastors, or mentors. They can offer guidance, support, and perspective that can help the couple navigate their way through the problem.
3. Pray: Prayer is a powerful weapon against any Goliath. In the story of David and Goliath, David did not rely on his own strength to defeat the giant. Instead, he put his faith in God and asked for His help. Similarly, couples can pray for wisdom, guidance, and a breakthrough. They can also pray for peace, understanding, and forgiveness, which are essential ingredients for a healthy and strong marriage.
Remember this-- David did not just show up in battle with no skills. As a shepherd to his flock, he practiced using his slingshot with small stones, so in the time of need to protect, he could rally his physical strength, mental capacity, and spiritual belief to defeat the one thing that would protect his flock or at this time, the Israelites.
Every couple faces their own Goliaths in marriage. But with faith, determination, and the right mindset, any obstacle can be overcome, just like David overcame Goliath.
Yet, you can't just think that this excellence will just happen. You must practice your skills. Don't wait to learn new things, to change how you approach struggles in your marriage. You prepare for battle when you're not in battle.
Face the problem head-on, seek help, and pray. With these three things, any marriage can emerge stronger, healthier, and more fulfilling than ever before.
