Protect your Marriage

There are so many dangers out there that will try to take your marriage away from you, there are so many porn sites that make men/women think they can find more, or have fun looking.. 

The grass is not always greener on the other side...  in fact appreciate what you have because if you throw it away, some one else will take that precious gift and love and nurture them for the rest of their life. 

Appreciate your Happily Ever after- no it is not a bed of roses all the time, and it takes work and lots of it, but you can make it last. 

Remember to Date your spouse, communicate to them, Fall in love with him or her every day, all over again and again, never say the D word, do not talk negative to other people about him, keep your life in this order: God, husband/wife and kids, Respect your marriage and your spouse, learn their love language, have lots of sex and lastly protect your marriage, don't let anything take it from you. 

Song of Solomon 1:2
Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth—for your love is more delightful than wine.

Week 6- God, Marriage, Kids

God, husband, kids…in that order. – 

I know this isn’t a popular philosophy, especially among mothers, but hear me out. It’s no secret that my faith is of utmost importance, so God comes first in my life no matter what. But regardless of your belief system, your husband should come before your kids. Now unless you’re married to someone who is abusive (get professional help), no man in his right mind would ask you to put your kids aside to serve his every need while neglecting them. That’s not what this means.

When you board an airplane, the flight attendants are required to go over emergency preparedness prior to takeoff. When explaining the part about how to operate the oxygen mask, passengers are instructed to first put the mask on themselves before putting it on their small child. Is that because they think you are more important than your kids? Absolutely not. But you cannot effectively help your child if you can’t breathe yourself. The same holds true with marriage and parenting.

 You cannot effectively parent your children if your marriage is falling apart. There will also come a time when your kids will leave the house to pursue their dreams as adults. If you have not cultivated a lasting relationship with your spouse, you will have both empty nests and empty hearts.

Mark 10:6-9

"But at the beginning of creation God 'made them male and female.'  'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife,  and the two will become one flesh.' So they are no longer two, but one.  Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate."
