if you are a Christian, you are not the biggest sinner of them all
calling yourself a sinner is not biblical
for all have sinned, however Paul addresses believers as saints
did you know that people will basically act out what they think about themselves?
egads man.....change how you think...it's depressing

But fornication and other sins would be rampant and kids wouldn't have stable homes because people will be chasing after their lists instead of learning to live with another person, compromise and love someone else even when you don't like them.
Marriage is meant to teach us how to be ONE. in purpose, love and life with another. It's a holy insitution that should reflect the relationship that God has with His Church. It's not always about happiness and liking the other person...it's about joy and love which are deeper emotions because even if you fight and disagree, if you have love and grace, you will forgive and grow because you have a joint goal: using your lives to glorify God and show His love to strangers outside your circle of family and friends. Raising our kids to love God and listen to His Holy Spirit, be mature and responsible hard working members of society.
At least that is what my marriage is based on.

Trust in the blood of Christ and His mercy and grace...for it's not what we did or will do, but what He out of love already did.
Through our relationship with our perfect Lord and savior we learn to treat our spouses with love and grace...to forgive even when we don't think they deserve it. To love despite the tears....to stand for justice if abuse is happening...to love as God loves us because He first loved us.
So you have it backwards...we learn to reconcile with our spouse when we realize HOW much God loves us and reconcile with Him....the closer we walk with God, the easier it is to love everyone else.

ok...I'm being serious now
look at your words....don't feed yourself those words...don't play that dialogue in your head
open the New Testament and read what God has to say about you...change how you think
I'm serious...I certainly had to do that and it works!!!
you are a new creation in Jesus Christ...
Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.
II Corinthians 5:17
5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;
6in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3
10 So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Isaiah 41
27Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. John 14
33 “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 16
When we repeat negative things about ourselves, we have strongholds in our minds that need to be taken down. God has not given us this negative image...the enemy of our souls has whispered to us and we have listened...or maybe people who should have known better have hurt us and said negative things and rejected us.
Align your thoughts with the word of God...you can just as easily repeat POSITIVE as negative things..

It's a good thing Jesus came to save sinners.
We are saved by grace of God, Faith in Christ finished work on the cross...not our own works.
We don't make ourselves worthy, God washes us clean by the Blood of the lamb, clothe us with His righteousness and seals us with the Holy Spirit to lead and guide us.
Our salvation is by God's grace.
None of us deserves it but He loves us anyway.
