I struggle with this a lot myself, I think it’s much easier to focus on the negative and not look at everything positive we have. I find trying to take a step back and refocus helps me when I need it. All it takes is a view from the outside in, to know that God has truly blessed us.

Gratitude to God? Hardly.
. God could have easily ended my wife and I's formerly sinful relationship but he gracefully allowed us to marry and has helped us grow in our relationship. Gratitude? Next to none.

God is not going to control your situations nor interfere with your Free Will. You were gifted that, and if your choices had consequences, this too will he used for Good if you're keeping God centered in your lives.
I am sorry you had a non fruitful relationship, are you still together?
@Iwillwait We are happily married!
God absolutely does control our situations but he does not authorise our sin.
We have free will to an extent but God is absolutely sovereign.

From Psalm 65, in Blank Verse
Our praise awaiteth Thee, O God, in Zion;
And unto Thee our vow shall be fulfilled.
To Thee that hearest pray'r, all flesh shall come;
And though iniquities 'gainst us prevail,
Yet Thou shalt purge away our every sin.
Blest are the ones whom Thou by grace hast chosen,
And bidst us come upon the latest day
To dwell within Thy sacred courts forever.

Yet Thou shalt purge away our every sin.
Blest are the ones whom Thou by grace hast chosen,
And bidst us come upon the latest day
To dwell within Thy sacred courts forever.
@Thinkerbell Amen sister great Psalm to add to the post!
