We all know that if you keep making withdraws out of your bank account pretty soon you are going to be in the red. Yes, you will have to pay those nasty overdraft fees. We confess we've been there, done that. But the opposite is also true. If you are wise, and carefully make deposits into your bank account, pretty soon you have a savings to draw from in an emergency. Marriage works the same way. You have to be intentional in making deposits. It's impossible to have a beautiful and durable marriage if each spouse is continually sucking the marriage dry (making withdraws) with unkind words, selfishness, and independence. If you are struggling to keep your marriage healthy and strong, ask yourself - are we making more withdraws than deposits?
