Love Songs, Fireproofing and Thanksgiving!

My Pastor taught that values drive a culture and that culture shows up in the music. I believe that. So maybe that would explain why there isn't a lot of love songs in wide circulation. Where are the songs celebrating Marriage? I know we are Christians but come on lets be REAL. Although I do not listen to secular music daily I do have my favorite "For Married People Only Music." I don't see anything wrong with listening to a little Sade as you dance with your husband or wife. But as my collection gets older I wonder where are the love songs that you can actually listen to without profanity, and without too much information, being sung? I want to encourage all you Christian artists and writers out there, ask God for some love songs. Songs like let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth for his love is better than wine. Isn't that beautiful that came straight out of the BIBLE!!! Song of Solomon 1:2.
Now that's some married worship music for sure! There are some occassions that songs like I'm Climbing Up the Rough Side of the Mountain are not fit for!LOL!

What are some things we can and we have to make sure that we do all we can to keep our union Fire Proof and fun. First by understanding that our marriages are destined by God to do several things, mirror the relationship we have with God and produce Godly offspring. Well we know about natural children but what about spiritual children? What about all those couples and even single people that have been positively affected by your marriage and mine? What about those couples who are going through and are barely hanging on that are looking up to us to help them get through? What about the future marriages of our children and so on?
I love my Pastors! They are REAL! They talk to us and let us know about their failures and successes in marriage. They do all they can to make sure married people grow in their marriages and stay strong. We have monthly meetings, retreats, classes etc...They know that if marriages don't make it everybody is affected adversely, and they believe in "taking and keeping dominion" in every area of life, and their attitude and examples are infectious. Does it get hard sometimes sure! Does it take God to help you stay the course in this covenant breaking society yes, but remember a threefold cord is not easily broken. God IS for marriage no doubt about it.The fire is always gonna be making a cameo appearance but the water of the Word and God's Spirit will help always help us move forward in victory. Some good Marriage Covenant Keeper things to be mindful of is making it our business to respond and react like Christ to one another,take time to pray, read, and fast with one another, date, buy gifts, and encourage one another daily. Doing these things will help us to be able to stay on the good side of statistics...the winning side.

As we are only two days away from Thanksgiving let your spouse know just how thankful you are for him or her. Write a sweet little note explaining why you are thankful! Buy some flowers or a golf club for your mate, a Thanksgiving Gift! Don't just say you love...show you love.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and God bless your marriage richly and abundantly!

Pray about it!!!
