Christ-Centered Relationship
The goal is not to have a happy marriage, but having a Christ-Centered Marriage. It is actually more fullfilling and happy.
Believing the power of God in us. The very spirit that raise Christ from the dead is living inside of us. That power is living inside of us, is available to us. You have strength when you are weak. We struggle so much to muster up our own ability and our own strength. God is saying according to his power, He can do immeasureablity more than anything you can possibly do or imagine.
What's important?
What I mean, brothers and sisters, is that the time is short. From now on those who have wives should live as if they do not; 30 those who mourn, as if they did not; those who are happy, as if they were not; those who buy something, as if it were not theirs to keep; 31 those who use the things of the world, as if not engrossed in them. For this world in its present form is passing away. 1 Corinthians 7:29-31
Time is short. Marriage isn't everything. Actually no time to fight, and we got something greater to do than marriage. We have got mission in lives. God is bigger than your marriage. This calling in life to display and model Jesus christ to this dying world. is bigger than you having a happy marriage. Happy marriage is a bi-product of it. it is so easy to think of "all family first" and sometimes it's easy to make it a Christian thing.
Marriage is not eternal. Marriage is going to pass away. When we see Him, we are not going to think about the things of this earth, the house we left behind, the marriage we left behind. The treasure is soo big!
High mainence women- no room for being a high maninence women, having a lot of expectations, needs, desires for our husband that really were meant only for God to fulfill in us. We ought to be sooo satisfy with our relationship with God that we are not constanly feeling so disappointed and frustrated that our hasbands are not following what to do in our minds.
Your husband is just temporary joy and blessings, question of if you really love God most?! First love is for Christ, not our husband. we need to love God, and other will follow...
Set your mind on things above, for you died.
God is using marriage to refine us. God will supply all of our needs and He put me in this marriage for his own glory.
Fighting oxygen, but God desires us to have our own tanks from God. But we are completely fulfill by God ourselves and have more than enough. cruse our lives together, and can give it to other people, and look at fish lol can't look at each other to give you happy and contentment.
"Those who are most ready for marriage are those who needed the least, contentment in Christ"
It is not about me, but about God. Undivided devotion to the Lord.
Francis said: I am actually more devoted and less divided when I got married.
Lisa said when Francis decided to start up a church after second week after they get married: When I married you, I believe God will lead me through you. And He will lead our family through you. And if you believe that's what God wants you to do, I will stand behind you 100%. I will stand by your side regardless.
Sometimes the world message is always about you. about what you deserve, your desires, what you are longing for. The more inward you focus, the more miserable you will become. If all you can think of is your constant
You are child of God who happened to be married, who happened to be single.
watch out outside influence and not fill our tank with world wisdom but with God's words/truth.
It is not about fairness, but being about LIke Christ.
This life is about bringing glory to God.
