“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 […]
The wedding day is rightfully a most joyous day, as a community of friends and family come together to celebrate the sacred union of two of their own, in love and in marriage. At that time, the great potential of marriage is celebrated, as the two lovebirds are […]
“And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed” (Genesis 2:25). When most people think of intimacy, they generally think about sexual intimacy, but intimacy is about much more than sex. There are several ways to be intimate with your spouse, and physical […]
I think it was Benjamin Franklin who said “Honesty is the best policy…“, and I would have to agree. Many people feel that there must be an exception, as it seems that to every rule there is an exception. They suppose that it is not always wise or kind […]
I can’t remember my first thought, my first desire nor my first wish… I don’t know what provoked my first cry, my first smile nor my first laugh… But before I uttered my first words, I knew I was special, made for a purpose. I had dreams, held […]
The Lord gave me a gift, And He said that in order to keep it, I must give it away… As often as I am offended; As often as I am hurt, I must give it away… For in that moment, They need it so much more… They […]
This seems like a no brainer! I’m sure many people are thinking, “Why not?”, “Of course!” “What a ridiculous question…” Perhaps, maybe… I ask this question as a former hopeless romantic, who is now just a romantic at heart. I know how it feels to be madly in love… […]
Of all the reasons that I know I must marry a man after God’s heart, one of them is often forgotten – the Endtimes. This is probably one of the greatest reasons why we must heed Paul’s instruction not to be unequally yoked with unbelievers (2 Cor 6:14). […]
