| MARRIAGE |
| Too many marriages are going bad, in today's world. .....lets look a few reasons why, and what the bible says about marriage. |
| Why are so many marriages going bad? The biggest problem in a lot of marriages is that the Lord is missing from the relationship. If the teachings of the Lord was followed completly, a couple could have no excuse for a marriage going bad. Too many people are becoming more and more selfish. Love is not selfish. Some people think that it's their way or no way. If that is the way you want it, fine, but it will come back to haunt you someday. When you marry somebody you have to realize it is a give and take relationship. Sharing and compromising. If a person thinks it is all about them, then that relationship is going to crash, fast. Love is for the strong. There is a reason that wedding vows (at least used to) say for better and for worse!! These days everyone is in it for the "better", and once it gets even a little hard, it's time to end the marriage. In my opinion,thats the way of a week coward. A person is supposed to stick with there spouse through the rough times, and try to help pick them back up. Every relationship is going to have its rough times! Ever wonder why a person says "there are no good guys/women in this world"? Maybe we need to look at ourselves first! Couples need to understand each other and open up to each other. Both parties in a relationship need to take their share of the blame, instead of putting all the blame on the other. It takes two! Problems will not get solved until a person can ask themselves what their part was in it. Forgiveness is important also. If somebody does something wrong and is sorry and wants your forgiveness, then you should forgive. If the person you are already with seeks forgiveness, they deserve another chance before giving the chance to someone else.Too many people look at it like there is only one chance to do it right the first time. If thats the way you feel, you will never find a good marriage. Also, remember once you forgive someone, you need to forget the problem. You can't wait for the next problem to arise, and throw the past back in their face. If you want your relationship to work, you are going to have to try and stay away from Everything that causes a problem. You can not allow yourself to cause jealousy, or anger. If any outside sorce is causing a problem or interference, you have to stay away from that. Once you are married, your spouse automatically become your top priority over friends and other family.....Yes, it's in the bible. Don't be allowing others to give you advice on ending your marriage. It is amazing how many people will give their two cents about someones relationship, when they can't even fix their own. |
| To put it to the poin......other than God, Your spouse should be the most important. Men...your wife becomes the best woman in the world. Women.....your husband becomes the greatest man in the world. .........and you should treat them that way. |
| What does the bible say? |
| It is a good idea for the man and woman to study the bible together, in hopes to learn how God teaches us to live in marriage. |
| Genesis 2:24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. ...in other words: a man and women become united together, and everyone else is of least importance. Matthew 19:3-9 The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause? And he answered and said unto them, Have you not read that he wich made them at the beginning made them male and female, And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? (6) Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. (19:7)They say unto him, why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away? He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. (19:9) And I say unto you, Whosoever shall out away his wife, except it be for fornication, and marry another, comitteth adultry: and whosoever marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery. .....In other words, Jesus tells us that we should not get divorced for any reason other than adultry....and if we do, and go to another, its the same as adultry. We should work our problems out. (ALSO FOUND IN Mark 10:7) Ephesians 5:20-33 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. he that loves his wife, loves himself. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: for we are members of his body, his flesh, and his bones. For this Cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband. Colossians 3:18-19 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them. Also realize that married men and women should be good examples to the young...and discreet to the things at home. Titus 2:1-8 |
