Marriage Monday ~~Your Spouse Isn't Saved!

We are in a time where we have to live according to the word. It's no time for mistakes, and mishaps...thought patterns have to change. OUR marriages are at stake and the enemy knows it. We can pull it together now or wait.......until the rapture..which will be too late.

God gave us directions so let's try to adhere to them:

1. 1 Corinthians 7:5
Do not deprive each other except by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer.

~~~do not take the intimacy away from your spouse.........you both need it.

2. 1 Corinthians 7:33
But a married man is concerned about the affairs of this world--how he can please his wife---

~~~the husband can't be everything to everybody, if he isn't anything to his wife first.

3. 1 Corinthians 7: 34(b)
But a married woman is concerned about the affairs of this world--how she can please her husband.

~~the wife can't be anything to the world if she isn't a wife in her home first.

4. 1 Corinthians 13:4-7
Love is patient, love is kind, It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

~~what else is there to say? Walk in total love with your spouse.

5. Ephesians 5:25-27
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the Church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant Church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.

~~Husbands find it easy to blame their wives (or any woman) for any and all things. But as the husband, despite the faults in the wife, they should build them up in FRONT OF PEOPLE, while praying to the Lord to help change them.

Come back next week for part two!
**Don't forget registration for the For the Married Weekend in Lake Geneva, WI.

Marriage Monday~~Falling in Love Again

Husbands and Wives (male and female) that are married in the eyes of the Lord, need help!
Christian marriages are under attack by the enemy and his tribe! We have to pull ourselves together spiritually and reconnect with our spouses.

Loving, as a Christian, is easy, but staying IN love with our spouses is hard! At some point we decided, as married people, to take care of business and that's okay. Well, you can take care of all the business you want to, but if the love is lost who are you helping??

Eph 5:22 Wives submit to your husbands................25 Husbands love your wives

**Get your minds together to walk as one. The bible says the two become one...

**Leave people out of your business. His moma can't help you, wife, and her parents can't help you husband. If you can't or don't know how to take it to God......don't take it anywhere. The enemy is out there ready to take every negative word you say about your spouse and put it the universe and let it spread! God help us!
1st Cor. 15:33 Do not be misled "bad company corrupts good character" If you need to vent get it out in the bathroom or laundry room.

**Go on a retreat. E.S.S.E.N.C.E OF A Woman is sponsoring a For the Married weekend to help couples rekindle the love(click the title link). Sometimes we have to hear someone else tell us what to do and how to do it...in order to fall in love again.
This weekend will be complete with seminar, luncheon and couples massage.

Be blessed husbands and wives!
