One good way: is there peace? Do you have peace in your heart? Does it line up with God's Word? If you are uneasy, and it doesnt line up, it very likely isnt His will!
Like for instance: God's Word says for us to be honest. When you have an opportunity to make a choice between lying or telling the truth, and you think about lying, an uneasiness should be coming on you. But then when you think about being honest, you feel better on the inside. Probably nervous, wondering what will happen, but there is still a peace there.
That is just a small example of what its like.
Its not always about circumstances lining up. But more what does God's Word say about it?

Letting God minister to you is really just focusing on Him, on His Word, praising Him and lifting Him up and resting in that presence, as you do He will come and minister peace and acceptance and give you revelation of all He has for you.

Alot of times, it has nothing to do with your situation, but where your focus is. It was said, to emerse yourself in spending more time with God. Exactly. One major problem alot of people have, is letting too much focus go over on to things that irritate or bug them. Having more focus on negative things than good things, turn our attitudes from positive to negative. Before long, we end up concentrating more on the negative aspects, blocking out positive ones.

When this happens, we tend to start putting blame over unto the other spouce. But God shows us, the best way to draw lost souls to Christ is thru them witnessing Christ thru us. As such, how better to change a spouce's influence and attitude, than by being the witness for Christ to them, God would have them demonstrate towards us?

As a Councilor of couples for many years, I've heard it over and over, my spouce does this, does that, acts like this, thinks like that. I very seldom ever hear what they themselves are doing thats wrong. There is never any division between a couple being the fault of only the one spouce. Both always play a part in it.

Thats why I always worked with each one seperately, then brought them together later as a couple to work together.

There are specific Scriptures God has given us for both husbands and wives, to be the Godly Children He expects them to be. Any time either spouce goes against such Scriptures guiding them, problems can slowly grow and get worse. One main Scripture for both, is always to keep God the main focus above all things for each of them.

Another is to always be more concerned about others than ourselves. Marriage is the same in that respect. A couple speaks vows to devote themselves to the other. That does not mean 50% of each makes 100%, but 100% from both.

When there is division strong enough to cause true problems, a spouce needs to be in fervent prayer to God and reading his Word for the Holy Spirit to show them how to be the witness God can use to help correct themselves as well as thier spouce, back inline with God.

Remember, our battle is not of the flesh, but of the spirit. Its not your spouce trying to divide you, but Satan trying to. He needs to be driven out and God's influence brought back in.

God Bless!!
