We’ve come at last to the last of The Marriage ABCs. It has been rather comprehensive, with hardly a stone left unturned. I do plan on writing a separate post about Domestic Violence in marriage. It is not a part of The Marriage ABCs, because it is a […]
Love is tricky business. The advice on falling in love and staying in love seems so contrary. There are so many pitfalls in this, and no matter how hard you try to avoid it, someone always gets hurts. Most are just happy not to be the one who […]
I want to take a guess and say no one enters marriage believing and hoping that they will be one of two or more loves of their beloved’s life! They enter marriage believing and hoping for exclusivity! That they will be the one and only love of their […]
Everything about marriage is WISDOM. Marriage is an expression of God’s Wisdom and Love (Eph 5:22-33). As such, it is holy. It is sacred. “Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge” (Heb 13:4). The idea of marriage is wisdom. […]
“I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing” (John 15:5). Victory in marriage is guaranteed when we are connected to the Vine, as branches, and we […]
The saying is true, “United we stand, divided we fall”! Unity in marriage cannot be over estimated. It is in fact what defines a marriage – two becoming one! Unity and marriage are, therefore, synonymous in meaning. Without unity, there is no marriage. Marriages don’t fall apart in […]
Do you know what is the most common thing in the world? Temptation! Do you know what is the most NORMAL thing in the world? Temptation!!! Temptation is everywhere, no matter the size of the sin, whether it is the temptation to conceal something that should be revealed, […]
Last week, I started on The Marriage ABCs – S for Sex and Sexuality, only to realise that it was a much bigger topic than I once envisioned. So here is Part Two. Please note: If you are having great sex in your marriage, or if you are […]
It’s the subject we can’t avoid. SEX! It’s the most talked about subject, yet, it is the most embarrassing and most misunderstood. A lot of the embarrassment and misunderstanding is to do with those who feel they are in power or control, communicating false messages to those, who […]
“Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband” (Ephesians 5:33). Do you know what the verse above is saying? Do you know what it is not saying??? Many use this and other […]
I love that quote above so much! It sums up everything I am going to say… But if you have the time and interest, keep reading. We live in a society that seems to value quantity over quality, even though we like to chant “quality over quantity.” Our actions […]
PASSION. What would you be without it? Dead, I suppose. Passion is our drive. We must be passionate about something enough to hope for its fulfilment and keep on living. Passion is not synonymous with love, but with strong emotion. A vocation, such as marriage, calls for passion! […]
“The only things you can count on are chaos and each other and somehow that’s okay because it’s a perfect kind of beautiful chaos as you see each other more clearly and know you’re right where you wanna be, lack of sleep, spit up, noise and all” (Paula […]
Jesus said “the Truth will set you free” (John 8:33), and of course He is right! He means Himself! He is the Truth that sets us free…(John 14:6) But knowledge of AND acceptance of any truth always brings freedom. There is a truth that ought to bring many […]
“According to Crown Financial Ministries the number one factor in the breakup of most marriages is financial discord. 85% of marriages that fail do so because of financial problems. And this kind of financial turmoil is no less of a problem in many Christian marriages…” (Barry R. Leventhal, […]
