Dancing the Dance of Love

Dance lessons ought to be a requirement for premarital counseling. Any couple who can survive the lessons is ready for marriage!

In ballroom dancing, the man is the designated leader. It is his job to guide his partner around the floor; indicating which way she is to go and when she is to turn. The woman's assignment is to follow her partners lead, complementing his moves, her weight counterbalancing his as they glide through a series of twirls. Without this clear delineation of roles, without leadership and submission, cooperation and communication, the couple would not float "effortlessly" about; they would trip over each other and fall on the dance floor.

A good leader does not bully his partner, pushing and pulling her across the floor. He guides her gently and considerately, watching over her shoulder to protect her. His strength supports her beauty and grace; she trusts him and willingly follows his lead because she can depend on his love. Make your marriage the dance of love.

God's Purposes for our Marriage

There are many reasons people get married but let's just look at this list and see what God's original intent for marriage was/is.
 
To provide companionship ( Genesis 2:18)
To reproduce (Genesis 1:28)
To promote sexual purity (Proverbs 5:15)
To provide romance (Genesis 5:16-19)
To demonstrate and pattern Christ’s love for the Church (Ephesians 5:22-27)
To demonstrate God’s favor on the earth (Proverbs 18:22)
To provide help when fulfilling God's plan in your life ( Genesis 2:18)

Marriage is the most glorious of covenants under our covenant with God through Jesus Christ, this week think about the list above and ask God what you can do to further fulfill and promote God's original intent for marriage in your life. Maybe you need to spend more time alone with your spouse--companionship and romance. How about sexual purity. I heard a preacher say once if you have a lust problem--tell your spouse. For others some wives and husbands just need to realize the importance of intimacy inside of marriage. Sex is IMPORTANT in a marriage just like WORSHIP is important to God.It's not the most important thing but being intimate more frequently helps to keep the atmosphere in our homes and our attitudes moving and flowing towards love and respect.
How about reaching out to others or mentoring other couples in their marriages. How about adopting a single parent family and begin to invest in them spiritually, financially, mentally, etc...

Remember this important fact Marriage IS Ministry and it's one that God wants to use to reach out to help others...

Precious Moments..

Hey couples! Have you ever thought about starting a special "end of the day" tradition with your spouse. I know most of us read and pray at the end of the day, but how about after you do that maybe you can find a romantic song to dance to with your spouse before retiring, or get some candles and just unwind together as you discuss how your day went. Just a thought.

I'm always asking God for romantic creativity and He always gives it! I can personally testify that the dancing one is a really good one! (-:

Building Strong Marriages

Do you remember being a kid and trying to build a tower only to have it fall down because there wasn't enough support on the bottom? People get married nowadays for ALL sorts of reasons. Financial stability, wanting kids, companionship,sex, etc..now those things are not bad in and of themselves, but if that's the foundational blocks that are being depended on to hold and carry a marriage onward and upward... then there are going to be some seriously disillusioned and disappointed people.

If we however go into and continue on with the foundational blocks listed below our marriages can't help but bloom and blossom into all that God has designed it to be.

Love- kind, humble, unfailing,selfless

Forgiveness- longsuffering, merciful

Trust- confidence, expectation, dependence

Committment- the conviction and drive to keep your wedding vows at all costs

Patience- the state of enduring under difficult circumstances

Faith in Jesus Christ. Faith in Jesus as couples gives us the power needed to keep our marriage structure strong and tall.

We all want great marriages for ourselves and for the world to see God's glory and image imprinted on it. No one gets married to fail, so let's do all we can do to make it strong and keep it strong and glorious!

Committment is Better than Quitting

Often grown up children of divorced parents approach marriage with a deep appreciation for the value of entering a lifelong covenant. They've endured the earthquakes and after shocks of being children of divorce and they do not want to go through that again!

To those of you considering marriage please, please, make a deep committment to God, your future spouse, and yourself, and really forge a conviction that for better or for worse you are going to stick it out!

We live in a society that like the Pharisees of old would leave their wives at the drop of a dime. Marriage is sacred to God and it's a well spring of life, love and happiness that needs to be tended to, guarded, and refreshed. Keep your vows and maybe even renew them! My husband and I are talking about that now and we get excited every time we add another detail to it. Have we had moments, or seasons of challenge yes but God always helped us through. He loves us, and our kids and our communities. Marriage has far reaching effects just like divorce so let's keep our vows and be a blessing.
