Marriage Grocery Shopping

Most nutritionists advise people not to go to grocery shopping while hungry. Do you know why? Well, if you are hungry, you buy everything regardless of the fat content and the calorie count of the food and end up destroying your health and excellent body figure.
 
As going out to grocery shopping while hungry is a dangerous business, so is looking for a spouse while you are desperately looking for someone to marry. Do you know why?

“Mom, what is this sex thing?”

It was one of those normal late weekday afternoons. I was running around to bake something for snack. My daughter, who was at the time seven years old, was trying to help out her mama. She brought a step stool to stand next to me. My little one, who was five, was sitting down at the kitchen tea-table. He was a brand new kindergartner and I thought he didn’t have much to say about his new school.
 
Then from nowhere, he said, “Mom, what is this sex thing?”
 
Just imagine me. I looked as though someone splashed cold water on my face. I immediately turned around to him and opened my mouth but all those vocabularies which used to hang out in my mouth and everything I read from Dr. James Dobson’s books disappeared from my brain and heart in an instant. So, I opened my mouth and got frozen as if someone pressed a “pause button” of my life.

Who Should Prime the Pump?

When a husband receives respect from his wife, he finds it very easy to love his wife. In the same way, when a wife receives unconditional love from her husband, respecting and honoring her husband becomes her second nature.
 
But, for this biblical love-respect principle to work in a marriage, somebody has to “prime the pump” first.
 
Who? A husband or a wife?
 
One of them who is spiritually more matured and the one who loves Christ more will do. ///

Desirable Because She was Found from Him

After Adam lost one of his “ribs”, he became aware of this strange desire he had never experienced before. God knew and prepared beforehand what Adam would want to have immediately after he woke up from his “deep sleep”.

Adam didn’t say something to God like, “I think something is happening to me. I have this strange desire.”

No, Adam didn’t say that. God already met Adam’s desire the moment Adam woke up. Talk about “care-free life,” this is unmatched and unparalleled! Adam didn’t have to go through puberty or anything. Boom! Problem solved right there when he opened his eyes! I’m very jealous of him! Anyways, let me not get off track here. Continue reading Desirable Because She was Found from Him

We Get What We Go After

Whether we accept it as truth or not, “it is a law of life that we get what we go after.”
 
This truth is actually biblical. Knock, it shall be opened; seek, you shall find (Matthew 7).
 
So, the question is not whether or not the door will be opened and we find what we are seeking for, rather it is whether the door we are knocking on and the thing we are going after will lead us to life or not. ///

Discuss the Issue like Adults

Divorce may loom on the horizon if the following four ways of dealing with conflicts mark your marriage:

  1. Silent treatment – ignoring each other for days, months and even years
  2. Exchanging disrespectful words – calling names
  3. Gossiping about each other to others, especially to family members
  4. Sleeping on a separate bed (bedrooms)

When conflict erupts in your marriage, sit around the table and discuss the issue like adults. If you can’t do that, invite someone else to come in between; and it would be great if that someone is not related to you or your spouse and that you both feel comfortable to talk to. ///

Meagan Good and DeVon Franklin

They “WAITED” to have sex until marriage and they wrote a book called, “WAIT.”

Well, two of my good Facebook friends have dropped me this couple’s interview in my inbox on different days and I decided to share one of their interviews with you all today. (Thank you my friends!)

Pastor Franklin, he was 22 years old when he decided to wait for marriage and he stayed away from sex for ten or eleven years. But before that, he was sexually active and he was in porn too (you can find that on the interview they gave to Fox News 5). Continue reading Meagan Good and DeVon Franklin

Wedding is not marriage

Wedding is a ceremony, and marriage is a ministry. These two are very different things. Wedding is a one-day deal and after that, it is gone, done, finished, “finito”! Whereas marriage, it is a lifetime commitment.
 
Here in America, “50 billion dollars a year is spent only for wedding ceremonies. One million copies of bridal magazines are sold each month” (from “Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts” – by Parrott and Parrott).
 
Regardless of people spending billions of dollars on their weddings, one out of two marriages are still ending in divorce.
 
Hmm! It made you think, didn’t it?
