We all do it, I’m sure. Wonder “what if I’d done this and not that?” “What if I’d been there or not been there?” “What if I’d listened to that person or chosen a different action?” Such thinking serves only to frustrate and torment us, because it changes […]
I read Isaiah 3 today and was struck by a particular verse. 12. As for My people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O My people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths. I have to say, […]
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. […]
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, […]
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, […]
Love. How can you have a discussion about marriage and not talk about love? It’s impossible. There is also that issue of what definition of love… What type/s of love is/are needed to make a marriage beautiful and successful? We have talked much about love, so far. We […]
Someone once said “Kissing is one of the best kept secrets of “happily ever after”“, and I can’t help but agree. Well, I’m only three years down the road, but you know truth when you hear it!!! I know the obvious word for this week’s letter, K, would […]
