Twenty Two Things We’ve Learnt In 22 Years – Part 2

My husband wrote the first part of this devotional yesterday. I will be concluding on the other part this morning.

And guess what? Today is my birthday! God has been faithful to me.

Let’s get into the devotional….

If you missed the first part “Twenty Two Things We’ve Learnt In 22 Years” written by my husband yesterday, you can read HERE

1. Marriage is done by the mercy of God

Rom 9:16  So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.

There is a part where you work at it from both end, but at the end of the day, it is wise to constantly surround your marriage with the mercy of God.

2. Marriage is highly spiritual.
You must engage in all spiritual activities in other to stay at par. Marriage can often be warfare and you have to be prepared for it.

3. You have to be a woman of prayer
You cannot afford to be prayerless. A prayerless wife is a careless wife. The devil is out to ruin marriages. Learn to wake up at night to pray as well.

4. Learn to let go of issues. Don’t enforce your right.
Be flexible. This goes for husband and wife. You have to close your eyes and ears to certain things.

5. Be quick to forgive and don’t be revengeful.
Be a quick forgiver. Marriage is all about forgiving 7 X 70 times! Practice advanced forgiveness

6. Be free to express your true feelings
Be ready and willing to express your true feelings, and the spouse should allow for expression of true feelings.

7. Laugh at each other and laugh with each other
Laugher is like medicine, so says the Bible. Let your home be filled with laughter.

8. Be an open book. No secrets
Be open about everything. Don’t keep secrets.

9. Don’t insist on your own opinions. Respect each other.
Respect is mutual in marriage. Your wife has things to offer.

10. Be a helper. Be supportive, submissive and be ready and willing to make sacrifices

11. Always seek to keep your love ablaze

Have a great day!

God bless your marriage.
