The Four “F”s of A Great Marriage

1. FocusA great marriage is made of a couple who are so into themselves. They focus on each other’s needs. They love each other tirelessly. They are best friends of themselves. For the Lord God will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed. Isa 50:7 (KJV) God will help, but you must set your face like a flint, which means to focus. Focusing on each other will help you to be faithful to each other in your marriage. 2. ForgiveA fantastic…

The Power Of Forgiveness In Marriage

Marriage is the place where you will have to come to terms with the practicality of forgiveness. In other relationships, forgiveness is also essential but it may not be as that of marriage.

Five Ways To Keep Your Marriage Strong

Marriage like any other structure or organization can fall or fail. Ours will not fall in Jesus' name. It is amazing how people, CEOs, general overseers, managing directors put a lot of energy and structures into their businesses, organization, churches, and empires and care little about their marriages. We think differently about our businesses and differently about our marriages. It won’t work that way. We should aim at putting as much effort, prayers, faith, learning, structures, principles that we put into other vocations into our marriages and things will work out better. To get a different result, we should do…

How To Recover From Hurts And Pains of The Past

Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord reward him according to his works: (2 Timothy 4:14 KJV) Here we see Paul extremely hurt by whatever Alexander the coppersmith has done. Judging from Paul’s tone, whatever harm Alexander has done is probably either towards him or towards the church of God. Paul later said, Of whom be thou ware also; for he hath greatly withstood our words. (2 Timothy 4:15 KJV) In Weymouth New Testament translation, it says, Alexander the metal-worker showed bitter hostility towards me: the Lord will requite him according to his doings. Now, in life, we…

Forgive – How To Handle Anger – Part 4

'I choose to forgive you for the bad words you have said to me.' These were the words Tatiana said to Mercy before she turned away and started walking home. Earlier that day, Mercy and her gang of bullies had done all they could to get Tatiana to lose her cool and start a fight. From spreading gossip about John and her kissing under the stairs during recess, to purposely pouring water on her. Can she forgive? Tatiana didn't lose her temper because she knew what they were trying to do. And she had made a vow to God that…

How To Severe Soul Ties And Be Made Free From Illegal Relationships

Soul ties can be brought about by compromise. One of the purposes of making love with your spouse is to establish bonding at the highest level. However, when this is done with someone you are not married to, a bonding also takes place, but it is an unhealthy bonding because it is spiritually illegal, a direct violation of God’s injunction, a sin unto God, and unto one’s body. Rather than soul harmony that happens with married couples, what happens is a soul tie that tends to suck one more into the compromise. What if I make just one mistake; is…

How To Move On After Disappointments

I remember many years ago, as a young Christian, I was praying and trusting God for some things. God answered me very clearly and told me to forgive so and so. Now, these people really hurt me, and I felt justified walking in an unforgiving spirit. But then God gave me two scriptures and said if I want to move forward in life, I have to forgive. Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” (Romans 12:19 ESV) The second scripture God gave…

We started on the topic of Handling affairs in marriage difficult. We started on this topic yesterday and I established the fact that it is a difficult situation to handle for the spouse. It is better prevented than experienced. Handling affairs in marriage is difficult. The pain and hurt of the betrayal of an affair is in different categories. There are more painful experiences than others. Imagine the pain of someone having a full-blown sexual affair with your house help or having an affair with your sister or brother or with your best friend or even with someone who needed…

How To Handle Affairs in Marriage

An affair is an illegal relationship with anyone other than your spouse. It could be sexual and non-sexual in nature. Each spouse should set boundaries of how far they can go with the relationship with the opposite sex.I feel we should all work on our relationship with our spouse in such a way that we will not need other persons to fulfill our desires, cravings, attention, and longings. If we are satisfied emotionally and sexually there will be no reasons for an affair.We don't live in a perfect world or perfect situation neither are our spouses perfect. A born-again child…

Why I can’t Afford To Fail God or My Spouse in Marriage

You can't afford to fail God or your spouse in your marriage. Apart from the fact that marriage is a wonderful relationship with the one you love, there is also the responsibility part. There is something always there to remind us of his truth. Yet for some of us our flesh, stubborn self, ego, revenge, the taste of tit for tat, strife, unforgiveness keeps us constantly with our spouse, like a mosquito always thirsty for blood. When you view your marriage from another perspective, from the perspective of Covenant, it will change the way we view your marriage. My husband,…
