Bible Verse of The Day – 1-16-19

Genesis 2:24 (NKJV) 24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.

Being one is something all couples need to work at. We need to be in unity. We need to be on the same page.

If two people who are together are thinking or operating on a separate page, they are off. In other words, they don’t see eye to eye on things.

When we don’t agree on something, we shouldn’t just give up. We don’t just throw in the towel. We don’t start putting the other person down, or discrediting them around others. We don’t disrespect them just because we don’t agree on something.

What do we do then? We work that much harder to get on the same page.

Have we ever noticed when we are not together on something what kind of fruit it produces? There is anger, hurt feelings and disappointment.

When we separate from each other like this, it affects our whole relationship.

Being together in unity, being joined as one in everything is vital in a relationship.

This does not mean we will not have differences of opinion. It simply means that when we do, we need to work that much harder at coming together regarding whatever the difference may be. We need to work it out and learn from each other. We need to help each other.

Don’t run from it. Put the time and effort aside and work together in making it what it needs to be.

Ask God for help in your marriage/relationship. Ask Him to help you stay in unity with each other, with Him as the Head of your relationship.

Be sure to put the time aside and make every effort to work things out. Take it very seriously.

Your relationship is worth everything. Be sure to treat it that way.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-26-18

Ephesians 5:33 (NKJV) 33 Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.

Husbands, love your wife. And wife, respect your husband.

Love and respect in any marriage is what keeps that marriage growing strong. Pray for each other, hold each other dear to your hearts, and sacrifice for each other when needed.

As couples, we need to protect our marriage. We need to watch out for our spouse. If our spouse is struggling, we need to make sure we are there for them. Everything else can wait.

Overtime or extra work can wait. The kid’s activities can wait. The meetings can wait. Our social hour with friends can wait. Our sports can wait. Our shopping can wait. Everything else gets put on hold when it comes to our marriage.

When our spouse is struggling, we shouldn’t spend our time nagging at them for the things they are doing wrong. We don’t need to be reminding them of the things they might have done in the past. Leave the past in the past.

They need us to lift them up, encourage them and help them through their tough days. Stand with them and be there for them.

Sometimes we have to humble ourselves and be reminded of our own weaknesses and the struggles that we have, so we can be compassionate towards them during this time.

Love should get stronger when tough times come. Love doesn’t give up. Love sees what may appear to be an ugly situation and helps it to become beautiful, stronger and successful.

Renew our love today for each other by stopping everything. Sit down. Remind each other about our vows and what God says in His word.

Tell each other that we are there for them and will enjoy the good times and walk through the tough times together. And whatever it takes, we will come through and out the other side, for God is with us.

Romans 8:31 (NKJV) 31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-13-16

Genesis 2:23-24 (NKJV)  And Adam said: “This is now bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man.” 24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.

I absolutely LOVE this…they shall become ONE flesh.

This is how close God wants a husband and a wife to be. ONE flesh.

When we are one, a marriage will stand. This is how it will make it through those tough times and how it will get through those moments when everything is coming at us and hitting us from every direction.

God can and will hold a marriage together as we put Him first and become one flesh in Him.

There are some out there today who won’t even share some things with their spouse due to the fact they are afraid of what it might do to their marriage. They are afraid that it will destroy them and what they have between each other.

Let us just say this, that if there is dishonesty in a marriage, if there are hidden secrets in a marriage, it really isn’t much of a marriage.

A marriage needs to be built on honesty, and sometimes that honesty can hurt and it can cut. But it can also bring healing as things are dealt with openly, and not hidden deep within the heart.

Husbands and wives, please listen. A marriage is more than just words on a paper. When we stand at that altar and repeat after that minister, “for better or for worse” we are making a promise to God that we will stick together no matter what, through thick and thin. Through good times and bad times, we will stand as one flesh, helping each other through some very trying times. It takes 100% effort from both the husband and the wife.

Some of us today need to let go of the pain we are holding in our hearts toward our spouse and we need to forgive them. And some of us need to be forgiven ourselves for holding onto some things that we should have let go of a long time ago. For that, we need to ask for forgiveness.

Healing will come to our marriage, blessings will come to our marriage and a love that is stronger then ever will come to our marriage when we stand together, helping each other and putting God at the head of it all.

Become one today in your marriage. Amen.
