Bible Verse of The Day – 8-7-14

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.

Love and respect are the two things we need to focus on in our marriage. We have to stay balanced in this, being reminded that these are the secrets to a strong marriage.
If the husband is slipping up in loving his wife as himself, then the wife is going to struggle in having respect for him.  We are not giving any excuses for either one to not do their part, but it will make it complicated if these two things are not at work in a marriage.

There are days when we need to give our spouse some slack if they are having a bad day, etc. Everyone has a bad day now and then.

As the husband works at loving his wife in such a way, it will bring great pleasure to the wife to have love and respect for him.

No one marriage is perfect and we will have our bumps in the road, but if we remember and hold fast to this scripture, through the good and the bad times, we will make it through, causing our love for each other to grow even deeper.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-13-14

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

Marriage is a sacred bond between a man and a woman. It’s ordained by God to be a lifetime commitment to each other.

Sadly, today’s society has been quite successful at trying to tear marriage apart and destroy the sanctity of it. It has become just as common for people to get divorced as it has for people to stay together. Maybe even more common…

There are so many factors that play into a happy, successful marriage. It’s safe to say that it’s way too deep to cover in this email message.

Anyone reading this who has been through a divorce can attest to the devastation that takes place when a divorce happens. It’s a deep thing that nobody can fully explain. And that’s because it’s a spiritual bond that’s being torn apart when a couple separates permanently.

But let us just say that, regardless what people say, marriages today can still work and they can still last. It just takes work and it takes a 100% commitment from both, the husband and the wife. If either person gives less than 100%, the marriage is going to be fighting an uphill battle.

Yesterday, March 12, Pastor Ellie and I celebrated our 31st wedding anniversary. We thank God for our lasting relationship and the fact that we can be a living testimony, showing the world that marriages can still work!

Has it always been easy? Heck, no! Our relationship has always been strong, but as a couple we have faced some tremendous battles in our lives. Whether it has been financial battles or anything else, God has brought us through them all with victory. And we give Him all the glory and honor.

So take heart, children of God! There is still hope for a strong and successful marriage, even in these dark times that we’re living in.

Trust God and put Him first in everything, and He will lead you every step of the way.
