Improving Your Marriage

How to improve your marriage is a topic of interest to many. Remember back to the early days of your marriage when you couldn’t get enough of each other? Research has shown that although many think that the secret to reconnecting with their partner is a candlelit dinner or a romantic vacation; the real secret is turning toward each other in little ways every day.

The Bible compares marriage to the relationship between Jesus and his church. Jesus sacrificed himself for the church by dying on the cross. And in marriage, we should be willing to make sacrifices for our partners. Usually we’re not talking anything huge, like martyrdom; it’s more like giving up a TV show or being willing to take the time to talk through a problem together when you’re tired. Sacrifice in marriage means putting your partner first every day.

Change Your Mind

I was listening to a series by Creflo Dollar regarding the system of God verses the system of the world. In Matthew 4:17, God says “repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand.” The Amplified reads “change your mind, think differently.” If we want to reap the blessings that God has for us, we need to change the way we have grown up thinking. When the doctor says we have cancer, we have been taught to expect to die. When we can’t pay bills, we have been taught that debt is a part of life. When we have marital problems, we have been taught to get divorced. We need to change our minds.

When you follow the system God has laid out for us in His scriptures and change the way we think about things, we will open the door for God’s supernatural blessings on our lives. I don’t know about you, but I want God’s supernatural blessings. I want to God to put His super on my natural!

If you dont have this CD set, you need to buy it! It will change your life. I have listened to it multiple times and it has shown me things I never knew.

Marriage is a Blessing

Its funny to hear some people manipulate scripture when in comes to marriage. I have heard some people use Ephesians 5:22 (“Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord) as a stand alone verse and not understand it in the context it is meant to be used. Some men think that because God states for the wife to submit to the husbands, and combine that with the scripture stating men are the head of the house, they think that the women should give up all rights to them, as it is ordained by the Bible.

Unfortunately, these marriages don’t fair well in time. They end up with strife, immoral behavior, and even divorce. If we continue reading in Ephesians 5:25, 28, and 31, you will notice they all have one thing in common, that husbands ought to love their wives. I don’t know about you, but if God repeats something in the Bible 3 times in a row, I sure take it as absolutely necessary!

What is love? If you are uncertain, check out 1 Corinthians 13. I will be making a post on this particular scripture in the near future. For now, stick with what God has spoken to us, for husbands to love their wives.
