Endure your "Marriage" Cross

No one wants to suffer or bear pain. We really don't want to have to endure anything. We want a soft life, an easy life.

But to get a soft life, there's always a price to pay.

Salvation is "free"... Grace is the "soft life" but someone paid the bloody price for these with His life.

He paid the price to make you His bride. He bled that you might be blessed. He endured pain to receive glory.

So why do you expect that your marriage will automatically be glorious?

There's always a price to pay. There's always pain to endure.

The grapes that produce wine endured crushing and pressing.

The dough that made the delicious bread endured kneading.

The genuine lovely couples and marriages you admire have endured and in fact might still be enduring pain.

It's not easy for 2 people from 2 completely different backgrounds to work in sync. It takes work, forgiveness, long-suffering, several arguments, wet pillows, humility, apologies, etc.

Marriage is beautiful, but it's not a bed of thornless roses.

Endure your cross, for the glory set before you.

"looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God."

Hebrews 12:2 KJV

Love is always a choice...🤗

Sexlessness is a Sin!!!

Hello married people. Long post alert but please try to read it through. I stumbled into a playful conversation with a couple in church on Sunday who said they were considering leaving a Christian couples group due to our perceived 'vulgarity' especially in the area of sex and bedroom references. 😳😅 Of course, while I could tell they meant it playfully, I couldn't shake the feeling that many who silently observe in the group carry the same impression and would probably whisper in private conversations that "are you sure these people are born again?" To be honest, I personally cringed at times we have had to make some of these references but we have increasingly found that it is absolutely necessary, especially when we consider the pressing condition of many married relationships. In 75%+ Christian marriages we have had to counsel and in reports reaching us from other counsellors in our church and many more from outside we have discovered that there is an epidem...

Be a financially prudent wife, be a blessing.

The rate at which prices have been skyrocketing in Nigeria in the past few months....our source can be none other than God. God makes provision through man and how man manages the resources God gives to him is very crucial. The husband has a primary responsibility to provide for the home, so while his income might not change in this period, the wife has to spend with knowledge and understanding. How can we make these better financial decisions at this time? - Both husband and wife should be totally transparent about the state of their finances. This way, the wife knows how much she can spend without putting the husband in debt - Create a budget for shopping and restrain yourself from going overboard by more than a maximum of 5/10%. We know sometimes you'd spend more than you planned but have limits please. - Look for alternatives to your regular items. E.g, if you usually buy an imported version of a product and the dollar rate is making it very pricey, look for a good Niger...

Beauty without Morals

The yorubas say "obinrin sowanu, o ni oun o mori oko waye". This means a woman lacks good morals and complains that she doesn't have a husband. Beauty is good, but wisdom and good morals are better. See this scripture, it says that beauty is wasted on a lady if she doesn't have good morals, imagine! So, to the men that think all they need is a hot chick, I hope the beauty will be enough to keep you going in trying times. To the ladies who think BBL is the way to go to keep a man...time will tell. A lady with good morals will give you peace of mind. You are fortunate if you have a lady who has both good morals and a beautiful look. However, if you have to choose between beauty and good morals, the bible has pointed you in the right direction. The choice is yours. A better society starts with better homes. Let's build great marriages. Love is always a choice...🤗 For relationship counseling, talktoladyt@gmail.com #love #relationships #dating #marriage #homes #spouse...
