Justin and Trisha Davis, founders of RefineUs ministries, graciously asked me to write a guest post on their blog this week. More than anyone else, Justin and Trisha know it isn’t one issue that takes your marriage off track.
Their book Beyond Ordinary is a beautiful story of how God restored their marriage and the need to die to ourselves to serve one another in love. It has strengthened my marriage, and I’d recommend it to anyone who is married or in a serious relationship.
Below is an excerpt from the post. To read the complete blog, go to RefineUs.
A few years ago, after the kids were in bed, my wife Laurel said something I will never forget: You are choosing your ministry over me—and I feel nothing for you.
She said she was committed to me, but she had been growing increasingly discontent in our marriage.
I was blindsided by the comment. We had such a good start. We knew that God brought us together. I loved my wife. I loved my kids. But I was shocked into the realization that somehow my ministry had become my mistress.
Without recognizing it, I had started to have an unexpected affair… with my job.
