Foundation for an enviable Marriage. Part 3

Foundation for an enviable Marriage. Part 3
Commitment to Your Spouse:
Marriage is a lifetime and total commitment, an unreserved dedication of one’s whole self to the marriage relationship.  Commitment is the backbone of an enviable and successful marriage.  It is the adhesive that holds marriage together.  When commitment is lacking in a marriage, the chances of survival of that marriage is very slim.  It is important for you to know that what the spinal cord is to the body, is what commitment is to marriage; without it, the marriage is paralyzed.  That shall not be your portion in Jesus’ name.
Effective Communication with Your Spouse:
Effective communication with your spouse is a major characteristic of a fulfilled marriage.  Many marriages break down as a result of faulty communication.  It is not just communicating, but effective communication is what makes an enviable marriage.  Lack of effective communication is the reason for so much tension in many homes today.  Effective communication can be said to be the “mortar” that cements marital relationship.  In essence, effective communication is the key to a desirable and fulfilling marriage.
Absolute Trust in Your Spouse:
Trust is placing confidence in someone.  Trust is a part of our daily life.  That is why lack of trust in a marriage brings death to that marriage.  To enjoy a fulfilled marriage, trust is a vital tool.  Trust is a virtue built through experience, over a period of time.  Trust is reciprocal.  The more you express your trust to your spouse, the more he/she responds to you in trust.

God's presence in your home

God's presence in your home. Part 1. By Pastor Faith Oyedepo There is a popular song that says, “ When Jesus is in a family; happy, happy home…”  This is true.  A godly atmosphere is the one that is filled with the presence of God. This atmosphere involves upholding the fear of God in the family and practically obeying His commandments concerning family responsibilities for the man, woman and children.  Therefore, let the man obey God’s commandment by carrying out his covenant responsibility of loving his wife  (Ephesians 5:25).    When unconditional love in words and actions is showered on the wife, it will automatically flow to the children and a godly atmosphere that keeps joy flowing continuously in the family, is retained. Let the woman on her own part, also obey God’s commandment of submitting totally to her husband as the head of the family as commanded in  Ephesians 5:22,  with no reservations. Her submission will let love flow from her husband and allow the presence

Give and it shall be given unto you

Give and it shall be given unto you Give and it shall be given unto you, good measure, press down, shaking together, and running over shall men give unto your bosom. This is a common verse we hear almost everyday when given our offering in church, the bible is not only about what we do when we are church but about our daily life. What ever you give comes back to you with extra. If you give love, you will receive love with extra added to it, but if you give hate, it will also come back with extra goodies. The bible taught us to love one another the way Christ loves the church. Also we should  forgive 70*7 times daily. No one can offend you that much in a year talk less of a day, so no one has an excuse not to forgive and forget, and love again. It is also written that we should not let our anger to last to the dawn of a new day. According to Bishop David Oyedepo 'Delay obedience is equal to disobedience'. If you do not forgive and forget on time you are directly or indirectly

A wife is a blessing from God

Image
He that finds a wife, finds a good thing and obtain favour from the Lord. The moment you stop acknowledging it, the favour ends. Many marriages and relationship are failing today because the men are now taking glory for what God is doing in their lives. God is a jealous God, he won't share his glory with any man, also pride brings a man down. If God blesses you because you have found a wife, but you leave the woman with hunger, tears, pain, to be with another woman outside, even without saying a praying you are bringing curse upon the blessing. God said because you did not give thanks for the blessing he gave to you, he will curse it. When a man don't acknowledge the blessing of God, that is curse number 1, if he maltreat his wife that is curse number 2 and so on. If God should bless a married man especially because of his wife, if he don't take care of her as he should or like himself, it will turn to a curse. That is why many men are striving today, they work hard and so
