Now we need to STAY THERE, (TOGETHER), tell Michelle you would like to spend a little time daily together in the Word of God, a.m./p.m. what ever works for you guys, just make it, & keep it, a daily thing! Your the husband, God has chosen you personally, to lead your little family into the future, under His direction & guidance found only in your scriptures!

How do you get your husband to listen?

A good message for those who are married, and those who are planning to marry.

Indeed it is📖🙏🏻!

I’ve been married for 37 years. This probably one of the most spot on Biblically based instructions on keeping a marriage healthfully on the tracks. A lasting marriage requires a continual structure of healthy checks and balances. It’s not for whimps and those easily diverted.

Gee. #15??!!. Lots listening. That's great!. The Mainer checkin'in at 16 I guess. Have a great Christ centered weekend. 🙏❣️🙏

[@toddradfordjr.3669]

Thank you, & may you do the same📖🙏🏻!

Sometimes we can’t avoid the failure, but society support separation and divorce more than it supports healing and resolve. Which is possible, obviously depending upon certain situation. But this is by design and agenda of the darkness. By becoming more worldly even as Christian’s in factors rife in church and Christianity to make it “more cool” and palatable for dare I say ignorance. Discernment of the things of this world are of this world and not of God!

[@toddradfordjr.3669]

Amen🙏🏻, so very well put📖🕯️🙏🏻!

I Felt Instructed It seemed an enterprise of enormous proportion as I considered following one thought into twenty. The first creative thought came from prayer. Where Jesus taught, though lifetime long, never empty. That first idea was so liberating, as a marriage. Past twenty steps I flew in rapid succession. There seemed lamp posts marked the way, punctuated by prayerful daily lessons. Such a grand and enormous task, I fade beside it. Each plank in this ark, a prayer of meaning. It’s for my Father who moves the goal post. A demonstration of faith to instruct leaning. A call to any who come to kneel beside me, who need the Son to shine beside the boat, That moment before boarding of great sighing, standing stronger as infused by Gospel notes. In trust we walk across the room to open windows. With determination we balance the ledger. Inspirited, we move as a fire, but it’s our eyes on Jesus that will perfect every measure. I sing and write and dance because He makes me live. My work is love, and to Him it flows. So grateful to live to add one more effort To the Lamp on the road who always glows. ~ kk ©️

You can't avoid marital failure when your other half goes out of their way to destroy it.

[@Mary_Kraensel]

I understand this too well.

[@toddradfordjr.3669]

I heard that, ✊🏻Brother!

[@toddradfordjr.3669]

[@thebluebutterfly5177]

I hear you, but we have to ask why that is. Why would they marry to then destroy it?

[@Mary_Kraensel]

@@thebluebutterfly5177 I can only speak for my own experience, but marriage is a lovely and precious gift from the Lord, and my husband stole that from me when he chose to abandon me soon after we married. Indeed, I wonder why he would marry me, only to walk out. Other than sin and being in a fallen world, I have no other answer.

1. do not be so foolish to think it could not happen to you 2. do not assume that a great marriage can happen without solid, hard work 3. do not allow busyness of life to disguise neglect of the marriage 4. don’t take each other for granted
