I Promise To....

Remember standing there at that altar, or in front of the Justice of the Peace, or maybe the courthouse wherever you were on that grand and special day. Stop for a moment and think about how you felt, all warm and fuzzy inside, ready to jump the broom with the groom of your choice. Do you remember that day! I do, like it was yesterday...
We promised to love and cherish each other, protect and look out for one another. One key tool to our marriages flowing is a fantastic and challenging word called compromise. You know you give a little , he gives a little and nobody is demanding their own way or their every wish to be fulfilled. Now God's Word says that the man is the head of every woman I Cor.11:3 so we know our husbands have the final say, and we can rest in the fact that God has set it up like that for a reason and we can rest in Him.

Let's look at some Scripture from the Message Bible- You must get along with each other. You must learn to be considerate of one another, cultivating a life in common.
I Corinthians 1:10

The literal meaning of the word compromise is "together to promise." God's design for our marriages is to bring two unique and independent people together and make them one, as we go through our journey together with our spouses let's make it our life's quest to continually promise to bring about togetherness by making conscious efforts to submit to one another and let go of the need to win or have our own way.

Have a great week ahead Visitors, FB & Twitter couples and make each moment you have with your spouse special!

God Bless Your Marriage & Family

Humility in Our Marriages Leads to Blessings! Pt 4

Ok let's get to it Philippians 2: 9-11

Therefore God also hath highly exalted Him, and given Him a name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in Heaven and things on earth and things under the earth, 11and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

It says God highly exalted Jesus! Don't you want God to exalt your marriage?!!? I sure do!!! WHY? So Jesus can be further exalted!!! I want God to be glorified in everything I say to my mate and in everything that I do. First to bring glory and honor to God and my marriage and to let my husband know just how important he is in my life! I want hurting couples to be able to look at my marriage and say how do you make it work? How can you submit like that to each other? How can you forgive and go on with pure hearts? WHY? So I can share Jesus with them and help them mature in their walk and marriages too.

Look family there is nothing done that is done for us alone. If you have a good or great marriage "Let It Shine" talk about it with people and make yourself available. Like Ladybee mentioned before there are so many couples hurting, under attack, held in bondage etc... what can you do to help? Humble yourself under the mighty hand of God, resist the devil and all his lies and God will exalt you..so He can be further exalted and also so He can use you to help other marriages. Go back and look at the Scripture and list again , copy it down do your own research on humility, and watch God exalt your marriage (-:

Only God...

As we go on this journey with our spouse one of the ruts and tricks of the enemy is for us to "think" that our spouse has the ability to be our ALL IN ALL! We must never put that kind of pressure on our spouse because they will buckle under that impossible load!!!
The Word says, My God shall supply all of your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.Philippians 4:19

As married couples we walk in fellowship with God both together and individually, but the blessings of a spouse was never meant to replace God. Some people get married and think this man or woman is like winning the lottery- they are going to solve all my problems, hurts and issues. Ummm..no.

Spending time with God brings increase, healing, and joy. As we spend time with God through the WORD, PRAYER, and PRAISE, God interacts with us. He blesses us with those things that we need and we experience the benefit of being a son or daughter of the Most High. God will keep us balanced and focused in our marriages if we make sure to spend time with Him and look to Him only to meet ALL of our needs.

Marriage - Love Language

Song of Solomon 1:2
"Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth, for thy love is better than wine.
Go ahead and say that to your mate, and watch the response you get!

God wants us to enjoy being married! Do you enjoy being married?! Do you enjoy long walks and cool nights to cuddle and talk about where you've been as a couple and where you are going! I love it when my husband comes home from work and says I missed you today, that makes my day!!! Or when he calls me from Walmart and asks me if I want him to pick up anything for me! I have to tell you I rejoice when I wake up and my husband has awakened too!!! One more day to make history together. I don't know how long we have together here on this earth, but I promise you we are making every minute count.

Today, this weekend and beyond tell you spouse how much their love means to you and how much you cherish them. God intended marriage to be so fulfilling, and rewarding. Communicating our feelings to one another is definitely a marriage strengthener.

On Monday we will continue with the Humility in Marriage Pt 2 so keep meditating on 2 Philippians 3-11 with me, and let's watch how God blesses our marriages and lives through the richness of humility (-:

Humility in Our Marriages Leads to Blessings! Pt 2

Happy Monday everybody!!
Ok so we've been meditating on 2 Phillipians 2:3-11 right, so now with that Scripture let's look at some definitions of humble.

1. Not proud or arrogant; modest in opinion: to be successful yet humble
2. Having a feeling of insignificance, inferiority, subservient
3. Low in rank, importance, or status,
4. Courteously respectful: in my humble opinion you are wrong
5. Low in height, level
6. To lower in condition, importance, dignity, abase
7. To destroy the independence, power or will of
8. To make meek: to humble one's heart

A few opposites of humble
1. Pride- an assumption of one's superiority and importance, contented
2. Rude- rough, harsh, or ungentle, discourteous in a deliberate way
3. Insolent- boldly rude or disrespectful

So as you look at this list do you see you…NOT your mate but you? I'm going to go slow on this because I feel this is something God wants us to really get.
Let's look at the first part of Phillipians 2:3-11 lets work through 3 & 4

3Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem the other better than himself.
4Look not every man to his own things, but every man also to the things of others.

Ever ask your spouse to do something only to have him or her begin to break down the "things" that they do and are doing in the marriage? That's definitely a strife starter, and it also sounds like vainglory. does that sound like a person "lowly" in mind..nope. The humble spouse of course does not respond like that because a humble person loves to serve their mate, and lives to serve their mate.

Verse 4 is deep --especially if you have been molded by the "King or Queen" mentality of the world. You know the one that constantly thinks about me, me, me, me and struggles to say you or even WE. One way I keep myself from the Queen mentality is by calling my husband everyday and asking him a very important question..."Is there anything that I can do for you today?" Most of the time Reg is like nope I'm good, but then there are days when he gives me a "honey do list!"LOL! Do I trip nope....I married him to be his helpmate and I'd rather him want my help than that of another woman. You feel me ladies and gentlemen!?!!? (-:

Before you go head on back to the definitions and if you see yourself make up your mind to work on that number or those numbers. Really think about humility and keep meditating on Philippians 2:3-11 along with me. God wants to make our marriages stronger than ever, as well as our character, IF we are willing to be humble...
