Scriptural Truth: Does God Break Those Who Love Him?
Thursday Jan 08, 2026
Thursday Jan 08, 2026
Many things are said in Christian circles that lead us to draw conclusions about scriptural truths that aren't completely accurate. One of those is that God breaks those who love him. Have you gotten the impression that even though God is good, He wants us to be broken so He can teach us? I know I have. I hear things said all the time that lead to that conclusion, but in this video, I challenge the belief that God breaks those who love him. #scripturaltruth #godisgood

You know the saying, "Insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different result." This applies to dysfunctional families, dysfunctional relationships, and toxic relationships. They can literally make us do crazy things. And the dynamics are so complicated and confusing that it is difficult to figure out how to change our reactions.
Remembering simple relationship tips is helpful. One of those is "Do something different to change the outcome." Try it and see what happens. Can it be any worse than continuing to do the same thing and getting the same result?

Dysfunctional families have lots of relationship problems. One of the big ones is when your wife doesn't like your family. Whether it is one or both of your parents, your siblings, or anyone else, it causes a huge amount of stress and subsequent landmines you have to navigate as a husband.
Not only is your wife unhappy, you know your family isn't happy. You are in the middle and need help to navigate in a healthy way that doesn't unnecessarily damage your marriage and cause more problems for you and your kids. But you also want to consider your family's needs, especially when it involves your parents. There's one more consideration and that is you. You matter too and yet, it is easy to lose sight of that.
While this video can't answer all your questions and can't address every scenario, it focuses on the similarities and offers principles you can keep in mind, including biblical ones. It also helps you to view the problem in a larger context because it is easy to get lost in the details of the latest disagreement.
You need this Christian marriage advice now, even if you have already made some mistakes. Watch this video when your wife doesn't like your family. You will be glad you did.
