It was around September of 2009. I was reading one of the daily devotional Bible study materials I used to receive via email. And I ran into an interesting article and I read it and at the end, it read, “if you want to sign up for a 40 weeks long daily Bible study note, give us your email”.
I signed up. “I mean, what do I lose? If I don’t like it, I will “unsubscribe”. That is all.” I thought to myself. Continue reading What is on your table?
If we understood “marriage vows” as a death sentence, we would have been better spouses to our husbands/wives.
“You pushed it too far!” You may say.
But look, the Word says, “Husbands love your wives as Jesus loved the church.” Continue reading Marriage Vows
Do you know who addressed the people of God like: “Adulterers and adulteresses!”?
It was James (James 4:4), who wrote a letter to the people of God who were going through tough times.
Why did he address them like that? Continue reading Love of God
Early on in our marriage, I used to pack my stuff to go back to Ethiopia for every little conflict I had with Berhan.
You see, we were the first ones to talk about getting married among our friends. We got married and we were all alone. No married people were around to guide or mentor us. Not only from our friends but we were the first ones to get married from our siblings, from his side and my side. Yeah, can you just imagine! Continue reading Having People Over Us
Sexual purity or sexual immorality won’t fall on people. People make it happen in their lives.
But there is a slight difference how those opposite lifestyles can happen in our lives. Continue reading We choose our lifestyle
Our older son was five, our daughter was three and our youngest son was one. I was rushing to prepare lunch. My hubby is at work. Talk about being busy and nervous, that was it.
I usually love setting up my hair, dressing up and looking good. But during this season, it was a struggle for me even to wash my face. Continue reading The LORD detests Lying Lips (Proverbs 12:22)
“The LORD God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.” Genesis 2:18
A suitable helper or “a helpmate” in the Hebrew word is Ezer Kenegdo and guess what that translates in to: A LIFESAVER.
No wonder divorced men die quicker than the men who stayed married. Remarriage doesn’t change the life expectancy of a divorced man. The only thing that is best for a man to do is, first, to marry and second, to find a way to live with his complicatedly created wife. Continue reading One Best Way to Live with a Wife
The most life threatening environment for a man to live in is a house where the presence of a mean-spirited wife is felt everywhere.
First he fights, and he finds out that he has little or zero chance to win, then he withdraws (tends to watch soccer or football a lot or becomes a politician and/or a philosopher). Then he checks himself out from his kids’ life and at last he desires only one thing; and that is to die. Continue reading Life with a Mean-Spirited Wife

When the Word of commands how a wife needs to be in her marriage, it reads like this: “Wives, submit yourselves to your own husband” and it doesn’t stop there. It says, “Submit to your husbands as you do to the LORD”. And the Word commands husbands this way: “Husbands, love your wives” and it doesn’t stop there. It continues saying, “just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her”. (Ephesians 5:21-33) Continue reading Our marriage is a direct reflection of our spiritual life
