Elmo and I celebrated our 19th. wedding anniversary last September 30, 2009
My marriage is very important to me.. why? because I came from a broken family..
I thank God for giving me a good husband Elmo... and God bless me with five children!
today.. i would like to share with you, especially for those couples who also
celebrating their wedding anniversary...
The Beatitudes for Marriage and Steps for a Happy Married life...
A happy couple, who loves the Lord, live their lives according to the perfect will of our father is a blessing to His church. I praise God for you both. Our prayers are for you. Sam Francis.
The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, fidelity, meekness,
self-controle... Galatians 5:22 - 33.
The Fruite Of The Spirit In The Marriage Relationship
Love. loving means giving, giving, and giving some more. How much did Christ love us?
How much did He give? "Walk in love, even as the Christ loved us, and delivered Himself up for us" ( Eph 5:2 ). He did not deliver Himself up so that He could get love in return. Rather, He gave!
Husband: do you love your wife?. Wife: do you love your husband? Really? Do you love your partner sacrificially, just as Christ loves us? Are you willing to give up some of your own interest, time, friends, hobbies, or pleasures in irder to bring your wife or husband the greatest pleasure and happiness? Have you ever tried to find out what makes your partner happy? If you knew that your wife hated some activity that you enjoy, would you give it up or greatly cut back on it in order to spend time with her doing things she likes to do?
You may ask, "what if I am the only one who gives? What if my partner gets without giving anything in return?" First, you may need to become more alert to -- and show appreciation for -- the little bit of love your partner does show to you. But even if you cannot find any evidence of loving, or giving by your partner, you can do as Christ did -- He gave His all, even for those who were His enemies ( Rom 5 : 6 - 10 ).
Be encouraged to persist in this activity of true love! "Let us not lose heart in doing good: for in due time, if we do not faint, we shall reap" ( Gal 6:9 ). God has undoubtedly prepared special rewards for those who are content to give and give and give without receiving anything return.
