I tell ya guys your marriage is that of one scared and heartfelt communion..not only with your spouse but with Christ Jesus our Lord..for you see when you come into a marriage you come whole-heartedly..you come so filled with love that it completely overwhelms you..for your loving another human soul more so than you’ve probably ever loved another..for you see marriage takes loads of work and commitment..it takes two people who refuse to give up on each other..marriage is where you understand and come to fully realize that you both are on the same team in life..you both are striving for the same things..so you come together in unity as the Lord desires..you come together and you hold onto each other..through all of everything that life would try and throw your way..you just come and hold fast to the Lord..and you hold fast to one anther..for you see your spouse should be your best friend..your spouse should be that one that comforts you like no one else can..for you see it doesn’t take much in a marriage as long as you have Jesus that your building your home and life upon..for I always cling to the scriptures in the word of God that says this..”Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it!”..Matthew 7:24-27..for you see guys along the way in life..life does happen..and as well many things doesn’t always work..many things try to distract and get your eyes elsewhere..but when you build on the Lord..you remain and you stay..you are each others best friends..you place no one before them..not ever..if you have a problem you sit down and you talk it out with your spouse..for you don’t just give up in your marriage..but you fight and you work hard for your marriage..you keep yourself and your spouse covered in prayers..and many of them at that..you don’t ever disregard your marriage..for I tell ya you don’t walk away from the commitment that you make with your spouse..but you take yourself always back to that alter as you knelt there or stood there before that Preacher as you said your vows..and you remember them..and you remember the commitment and all that you promised to do that day..standing there before our Lord in Holy matrimony..for God doesn’t take it lightly our marriages..and neither should we..Amen..for it is through sickness and in health..it is forsaking all others..it is through good times and bad..it is through richer or poorer..and it should always be until death do us part type of attitude that we have..for marriage isn’t always grand and magnifaicent..for Ruth Graham couldn’t have said it any better than what she had said..and that is a happy marriage is the union of two good forgivers..Amen..because none of us are perfect..and guys you don’t just fall out of love with your spouse it happens little by little..so my heart is that you guard your marriage..that you love and protect your spouse always..and never treat another person better then what you do yours..for you see our lives are built on love and when we love and when we serve Christ..we do our best to live our lives free from the ways of this world..and we do our best to serve our husband as the head of our home..for the scripture says that he will be known within the gates of his home..Proverbs 31:23..for in the book of Ephesians it tells us this in scripture..”Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the savior of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband!”..Ephesians 5:22-33..so let us love guys like we’ve never loved before..let us lift up our spouse and love, keep and protect them…for you see you always take care of them ones you love..for my husband is my life..he honestly is everything to me..other than my Lord..Amen..and our love it grows more and more daily..did it happen overnight?..no..it took work and determination to deny self and to rise up and grow together in unity..for you are one in Christ..no longer are there two people..but when your married you become one..so help your spouse guys..be their helpmate..be their number one fan..be that cheerleader..just help each other out in this thing that we all call life..for together great things happen..so understand that your on the same team..so do your best in your marriage..and then leave the rest to God..for there is nothing at all any sweeter in life than a marriage that is built and founded on the Lord..so build wisely guys..and do what you know to do..and just know you don’t always have to win every time..and you don’t always have to be right every time..for peace is better than trying to win an argument or trying to always have things your way..so honor and respect your marriage..and your spouse don’t ever take them for granted..and don’t ever disregard them..but love and nurture and always give to them as you would give unto the Lord..In Jesus’ name, I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
