Marriage - Introduction

To love someone-somebody, it takes time.
To plant a seed, you need good soil. You work on the soil-you work with love. You lay the seed; you water the soil and then you wait. In time the seed will sprout, and there will be green all around.
There are seasons that are favourable to the seeds. You don’t plant it going on your whims and fancies. You wait for the right time, the right season.
For a good partner, you wait on God. You live a good Christian life. You live in faith. You work and you enjoy what you do. You rest when you need to.
In due season, when the flowers bloom, God will bring you to each other.

But in most cases, since we have a very worldly sense of what love is, most people mistake the hurried feelings for each other as love.
Love is not the giving of fine gifts.
Love is not the glass of wine and the dining in fine restaurants. 
This is a lie. Love is not built on glamour.
Love is not looking at whether he or she is the only child and then deciding to fall in love. That is not love.
Love looks for no loopholes. 
LOVE IS PATIENT! Love believes in the IMPOSSIBLE! Love is TRUST. 


Some Points that prove to be hazardous in a Marriage:-
The two become one. We take this for granted. But how truly wonderful it is. No longer 2 but 1. 
When it comes to Marriage, it must never be a Power Play! 
These days many women want the power-the control in the marriage, and this can prove to be disastrous. 

In a marriage, it is most important to be of a calm nature. Yelling-screaming at each other is disrespectful and makes matters worst. To humiliate each other in the presence of others, is not an honourable act.
Some women have made it a habit to scream and talk to their husbands. It is not surprising when i come across a woman who speaks of Christ and then be so disrespectful to her husband. This is not imitating Christ. 

Not all men drink, but there are a few who create trouble at home. And there are times when things are at its worst. And that is no good. Drinking can be hazardous, but only in homes, where one is addicted. When the intake of alcohol exceeds the behaviour pattern changes and things can get worst. 
There are many people i know, who have their share of drink and then call it a day. They don't create problems for anyone. Having alcohol is not a charming quality but if under control it is not a problematic one either. 

Some people have an extreme rage. Be it a man or woman, it is unhealthy in a family environment. 
But mostly women lose control. And in a temper tantrum, no one at home can breathe safely. 
If this outburst is often, one needs to ask of themselves what is the reason of the outburst and how best it can be tackled with?
Explosive rage causes destruction. And given a situation where anger is uncontrollable and happens often then a family will crumble.
Only when one is OPEN and sees the error in their ways can a correction be made. God can heal a situation only when we openly accept, we have a problem, and we are in need of His Help.
A woman is a wife, and then a mother. 
If she is destructive then there is no safe Haven. A house becomes a living hell.
If she, as a mother, is destructive then the children will learn to be like her. 
Home is where the heart is, and no heart can be set in such a place. 

Both husband and wife must respect each other and even more so when their children are concerned. A child grows well-feeling safe and secure in a loved environment. 
It is best to control ones tongue no matter how disappointed one is. Because when husband-wife disrespect each other, the children are sure to take advantage of whatever they can. And it won't be long before the children disobey - disrespect both the parents. 
 
There are so many things that happen in the world. Our relationships must be our top priority after God.
The world celebrates women’s Day, I don’t.
I have seen women who hate their husbands.
I have heard of women who abandon their children.
Do you know a woman’s number one enemy is the woman?

In a marriage, it does not take time for things to go haywire when LOVE is missing in action. No relationship without love can ever work.
No matter how messed up a relationship gets, Love will be the only force in readiness for that second chance. Because Love does not quit. That is the Godly Love and not the worldly love.
The worldly love is Power-Money, Status-Position. It is always about the money.
Where there is Power-Money, Status-Position, EGO, PRIDE, RAGE, MANIPULATION... To begin with there was no love. 
Love never gives up. 
Even in dying...it sees a Ray of Hope! 
Death cannot kill Love!
