Prov. 18:22 He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord.
Eph.5:31 For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united
to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.
1Peter 3:7 Likewise, husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way, showing honor to the woman as the weaker vessel, since they are heirs with you of the grace of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered.
Eph. 5:22-24 Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands.
Eph.5:28-30 In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church, because we are members of his body.
Marriage is a life time commitment. It is a holy covenant between one man and one woman ordained by God. It is a give and take relationship, more giving than taking if you want to be happy. I think this is a place the devil really enjoys sticking his nose in. Guard your marriage because the devil will take it from you in a split second. Try to always put the others feelings above your own. I know this is hard but it creates a happy loving relationship. If you are tempted by the devil to make comments of a negative fashion, hold your tongue!!! Those words cut deep!! The hurt is hard to heal and leaves scars that may never go away. I know you can not live with someone and agree with them all the time but you can weigh your words. I have a very sharp tongue. It is a constant battle for me to keep my mouth shut. I am hot-headed and that just makes it worse.
Lord, I pray for all the hard heads who can not hold their tongues. Give us strength to be still in You. Help us build loving and caring relationships with our loved ones. Lord. deliver us from the devil and his evil ways. I pray for long marriages and peace that can only come from You. Lord, I ask for lifetime commitments for all of our marriages. I ask for commitment for all the betrothed couples and blessings from You on their commitments to each other. Amen
