THREE THINGS YOU WILL NOT FIND IN A GODLY MARRIAGE

I have been observing some couples and admiring the way they stay together. Others are perfect and some not. I always encourage myself that my marriage will be perfect and an example young people can follow. Have a look at this things that you wont find in a Godly mariage:

(1.) A SHARP TONGUE
Note that it can be easy to cut with our words when things dont go our way.
Most of us are pretty creative when it comes to justifying our sin. That' is exactly what a sharp tongue is: Sin.
" the tongue is a little member and boasts of great things. How great a forest is set ablaze by a small fire!" James 3:5
"A soft answer turns away wrath". Proverbs 15:1
"Pleasant words are as honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones". Proverbs 16:24
There is no place for a sharp tongue in any relationship and thats why you wont get one in a Christ-honoring marriage.

(2.) A GOOD MEMORY
There is nothing iritating like regularly referencing the list of your spouse's past offences and failures.
"Love keeps no record of wrongs". 1 Cor 13:6
" He who covers an offense seeks love, but he who repeats a matter separates close friends". Proverbs 17:9
In a Godly marriage you wont find a good memory of wrongs.

(3.) NEGLECTING THE BIBLICAL ORDER IN MARRIAGE.
Men are basically instructed to be to their wives as Christ is to the church, so, how did/does Jesus act towards the church, His bride?

A. He loved "Her" before He knew "Her"..
" .......while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8
Men are called to be faithful and sacrificial before they are in a relationship with their wives -think of sexual purity before men meet their life partners.

B. He "Nourishes and cherishes" His Bride.
read Ephesians 5:29 " for no man ever hates his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, as Christ does the Church,"
To cherish, means to treasure, value, prize,appreciate,take pleasure in, to attach importance to.

With that you can ask yourself "How loving am I, Really?"
If you are single is the time you maximise in your singleness as you prepare to be the best partner.
And to my future wife ( not known) - je vais passer le reste de ma vie avec vous.
