After arrivingContinue reading “Every Day Choices: Speaking Life to Your Mate”

Love’s Work

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment.

This is a repost from our Marriage Adventures Blog And He said, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” Then he said to Him, “If Your Presence does not go with us, do not bring us up from here (Exodus 33:14-15 NKJV) Moses had been given direction and purpose asContinue reading “Embrace His Presence”

Don’t Rush the Process

…knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing (James 1:3-4, NKJV).)

We talked about marriage and how, after several years of marriage, she has finally gotten toContinue reading “Don’t Rush the Process”

Poison

For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 6:23, NLT) The longer I live, the more convinced I am that the Word of God is true and is worthy of my attention and deliberate compliance. It’s like many of the thingsContinue reading “Poison”

Love

For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life (John 3:16, NLT). We love each other because he loved us first (1John 4:19, NLT). And he has given us this command: Those who love God must alsoContinue reading “Love”

Why is Marriage So Hard?

For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother [to establish a home with his wife], and the two shall become one flesh; so that they are no longer two, but [are united as] one flesh. (Mark 10 7-8, AMP) I find it very interesting that there are couples out there who still want to getContinue reading “Why is Marriage So Hard?”
