Marriage

Marriage is a beautiful gift and precious blessing that provides us with an endearing and unique type of love, bonding us together as one, but it doesn’t even come close to the unconditional and unfailing love that our God offers us!

Wives love to spend time in intimate conversations with their husbands. They want to share their innermost feelings with the man they love. When this happens, they feel loved and cared for.

When we look at Jesus life, there are quite a few holes. This inevitably brings up quite a few questions, and one that people love to explore is whether or not Jesus was married. Various "discoveries" and fictional accounts have fed these inquiries. But is there an answer? And if Jesus was married, how would that change the Gospel narrative?

No one bears more responsibility for the spiritual trajectory of his household than the spiritual leader of the home, the husband. Husbands must lead by example, leading their wives and children in prayer, worship, and the study of God’s Word. There are responsibilities that belong to husbands and fathers, not simply pastors or other ministers. 

That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife. And they become one flesh. Genesis 2:24

So, if you haven’t consulted the Almighty about whether or not your significant other is trustworthy, I’d pause everything and prioritize this. 

If your spouse is struggling with substance abuse today, know they are not alone. It has become more common within the past few years for people to struggle with addiction. All of your pain and heartache over your spouse is valid, but do not lose hope. 

Most articles speaking about adultery state poor communication, unhappiness, and lack of intimacy in a marriage as the reasons for infidelity. This may be true for some but when I was searching for resources on the Internet for my adulterous marriage, I never felt writers understood what I was really experiencing.

We sought marriage counseling, only to be told our communication was mainly fine and we seemed very happy – when we did actually spend time together. The unhappi

...impatience compels us to cut off folks who fail to respond fast enough to our liking, which limits the number of people we can serve.

Friends, the deceiver is still deceiving! But God is still God, and His very nature exudes love, grace, and mercy. So, when one of those students asked if God forgives sex before marriage, my initial response was a wholehearted, "Yes, of course, He does!" However, I know that there are many layers to this question, and it comes with a heart that may be seeking permission to fall into lust (if there will be forgiveness) or repentance due to guilt that is weighing heavy.

You may be thinking, wait, aren’t we supposed to make our spouses happy in marriage? Yes, and no. First off, you can’t “make someone happy.” There are days when you wake up and are having a bad day, and nothing is going to change that. A circumstance in life may drastically change something for the worse, and sometimes you can’t change that perspective. Still, although we aren’t supposed to make each other miserable, focusing only on our spouses’ happiness won’t lead to a happy union either. 

Let’s remember to be patient with our spouses if they don’t jump up and down in excitement right away. If it is God’s plan, He will enlighten them in His timing.

In my years of counseling and ministering to married couples, mostly in distress, I have learned some principles that run fairly consistent within each marriage. Couples really are not that different from each other.

There is such a thing as being too agreeable, and if you’re like me, you’re looking for better ways to promote peace without compromise.
