Ever heard the phrase "It's just not supposed to be this hard!" Maybe you've said it yourself.

Well when it comes to your sanctification, it actually probably is supposed to be that hard. Holiness is hard, really hard.

We're talking about how holiness is hard in relation to married life.

A lot of the time engaged and married couples have a lack of understanding that marriage is for the other person and for sanctification, it's not for you and your happiness. The goal of marriage is to get you to human flourishing, but it's not through easy, it's through hard. When things start getting hard in your marriage, that's when you know you're actually on the right track.

Here's some things that are hard in marriage, that actually aren't supposed to be easy:

-NFP

-Sex

-Abstinence

-Kids

-Pregnancy

-Finances

In this episode we're going to be discussing that while life is hard, and holiness is through hardship, we're not just called to sit back and let the hard make us miserable. We should be actively engaging in the hardness and asking ourselves: how can I grow in holiness in this time? Work like it all depends on you, but pray like it depends on God.
