BUILD YOUR MARRIAGE TOGETEHER
In our everyday news, as you've heard probably from friends, nearly half of all marriages now end in divorce. So many marriages that they spent millions for the wedding ends up in divorce after three days, while others lasted for a month, probably some years leaving bitter spouses and confused children in dilemma. Whether your marriage is going through tough times or is experiencing marital bliss, or even if you're not yet married they are some steps you need to consider…
· Build your home. A married couple must leave father and mother and establish their own home as one fresh. Do not let father or mother come in between your marriage. "For this cause shall a man leave father and mother and shall cleave to his wife. ... Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder." Matthew 19:5, 6. Do not quote me wrong, that doesn’t mean that you should take care of your Father and mother. "Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be prolonged in the land which the LORD your God gives you”.
· Traspiracy "Let not the sun go down upon your wrath." Ephesians 4:26. "Confess your faults one to another." James 5:16. "Forgetting those things which are behind. " Philippians 3:13. "Be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you." Ephesians 4:32. Let your spouse know every steps or decision you are taking to avoid or create suspicion...
· “I will lift up my eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth” see a couple asking for God's help as they deal with their shortcomings and weaknesses, opinions, and belief systems; and even held opposing views on major areas in some cases. All couples should have some level of disagreement somewhere and then agreed. Learn to love and respect the point of view of each another, and even had a sense of humor over their points of contention.
· Don't pick on a partner, or jump on conclusion on matters, stop criticizing each other’s faults—unless, of course, you want the same treatment. Don't condemn your partner probability his/her weakness. Be easy patience to hear him/her out, one of the greatest active listenings, we emphasize this as an area of special attention for men. Too often, men do not realize that all their partner needs from them are a listening ear. One of the greatest problems we have in marriage is the art of listening.
If you consider following this up, you'll find life a lot easier. Give away your life, you'll find life given back, but not merely given back—given back with bonus and blessing. Giving not getting is the way. Generosity begets generosity."
