Marriage is a Commitment!

Dr Jack Hyles - Marriage is not an agreement; marriage is a commitment.
The 4 causes of Divorce : 1. Finances
                                          2. Discipline of Children
                                          3. Problems with love life
                                          4. In-laws

*Every time we do right to our spouses we are doing right to Jesus!
*The I Do's and the I Don'ts of marriage

Read Ephesians 5:21-29
There will be 20 suggestions for you to read and think on, then act on.
1. Never speak disagreement. If something your spouse says you disagree with Don't say anything!!!
2. Divide areas of choice. Have area's you make decisions in and area's your spouse makes decisions in. Then have area's that you make decisions together in.
3.Share interests but no decisions. Having a mutual interest is good for a couple to have. However mutual decision making isn't good.
4. Have some time and activity apart from one another. You need your alone time just as you time together. Having separate interest makes life for a couple alot more interesting!
5. Realize tat you are married to Jesus. Matthew 25:34-40 Did you know you need to God and serve People??? If we don't serve people how can we serve God? If you cloth a person, you cloth Jesus, you feed the hungry, you feed Jesus. The way you treat people is the way you treat Jesus!!!

Come back tomorrow for 5 more points....

Try applying these 5 things to marriage today and see how it helps :) Marriage is made of God if we do as he says you will have a much better marriage. DO I always follow these steps, no because I'm human, but I do my best to follow and I ask the Lord to help me to follow his steps.

Have a great day friend!!!
