One key to a successful marriage, according to actress Chesca Garcia Kramer, is making God the center of a couple’s relationship.
Kramer stressed this as she acknowledged the presence of the Lord on her marriage with Doug Kramer, as per her Instagram post today, Sept. 20.
“The more I got to know our heavenly Father’s heart [and] his love for me, it brought peace to my troubled heart,” Chesca said as she was seen in a photo with her husband, basketball player Doug.
Because of her relationship to the Almighty, Kramer changed her ways and had to had to unlearn so many things she was used to, she said, including pent up feelings and wrong ways of thinking.
“All these made me selective in my understanding, [and] very conditional with my convictions,” she said.
Kramer cited instances where her relationship with her husband has changed for the better.
“When my husband and I were new in our marriage we would have arguments, but I can say now we try to have healthy discussions, [and] work on solutions to resolve our differences,” she said. “I learned to look at my heart before I react [and] look at my husbands heart before I make false judgments on him. I always go back to reminding myself why I married this man [and] the kind of person that he is.”
“[My] partner is not perfect… he makes mistakes, [and] that I am imperfect as well,” Chesca stressed. “That really aided me a lot to fulfill [and] embrace my duties as a wife [and] mother because I know that the person I am with loves me!”
For her, God is the “ultimate guide and the perfect example and model [in] life.” JB
