A kingdom divided against itself cannot stand.
Jesus said, and then he went on to say, and if a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.
So I’ve got my my Bible here turning to the book of Mark, and it says if a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.
Now, kingdom is an interesting word. I’m not a king.
You’re not a king, but but a king dumb is about the domain of the king.
And this is my domain your property is your domain, and you’re the proverbial king of your property in your domain.
So a kingdom divided against itself cannot stand, Jesus said, and then he went on to say, and if a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.
Well, that’s certainly appropriate to what we’re talking about right now.
If my wife and I, if my lady and me are not on the same page.
We’re like we’re like 2 people on a tandem bicycle trying to go different directions.
We’re like 2 people running a gunnysack race in opposite directions.
If we’re not on the same page, we’re gonna we’re gonna we’re gonna tear the house apart, and nothing we do will prosper.
but we all argue. We all disagree and fight.
So so so that’s what this whole dare is about. It’s about fighting fair. Think about it.
When you first got married, when I first got married, we tied the knot, and then we started, uh, went on our honeymoon and then start unpacking our bags from the honeymoon.
And and by that time, maybe a little while longer, you realize that you have begun to unpack your spouse.
And you realize that you’ve married someone with hurts and fears and actions and you start to unpack some emotional baggage and you begin to realize that you are in the middle of a discovery process of lots of things you didn’t know about your spouse before you got married, things that that have been that they’ve been packing and maybe keeping kept private inside for decades.
And now you begin unpacking those things and that whole process of getting closer and closer to each other.
It exposes our private problems, and our spouse begins to learn of our secret habits This is the process of marriage.
And while that may sound scary, it’s actually, I believe, by design.
Because we’re able to then get these things out in the open so that someone else with, hopefully, a godly perspective, who really cares about you will be able to help you work through those things and move toward healthiness and happiness and holiness And then, of course, you just, in our marriage, we have the stress of life that kicks in.
So not only do we realize that we’ve married another sinful selfish person, a person with imperfections and and and bad habits and secret problems, we also are not dealing with the pressures of work of financial pressures and maybe health issues.
And that can cause the stress to happen, and we get less and less patient, and we begin to argue.
We disagree, and we begin to fight with each other.
So
