Marriage

 

Wedding rings

Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge. ~ Hebrews 13:4

Men stop dishonoring your girlfriend. Save the marriage privileges for after the vows.
 
Love and Lust are both four letter words that begin with "L". Love leads to heaven, Lust leads to hell. Love is a choice that only wants the best for yourself and the one you love. Lust is a selfish emotion that always leads to unhappiness and destructive behavior.

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. 

So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself. For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church. For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones. “For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” 

This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church. Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband. ~ Ephesians 5:25-33

Women stop being a wife to your boyfriend. Moving in together, sharing bills and leases, sleeping together and even intentionally having kids together prior to marriage blurs the line between a husband and boyfriend and can ruin ones chances at a healthy relationship - before it's even begun. 

Not only is marriage a sacrament to be nurtured and honored, but it also serves as contract between the woman and man for their protection, as well as for the children. Couples that cohabitate prior to marriage have a significantly higher likelihood of divorce later in life.

Men and women have never liked this message, but it needs to be taught in every home and Church.
 
Will God forgive living together before marriage? God is a forgiving God, and will forgive you if you're already living together before marriage and want to make things right. No sin is too big for God to redeem, and He promises to forgive our sins when we repent and confess our sins. As Jesus told the woman caught in adultery, "Go and sin no more." ~ John 8:11
 

Everything a man gives a woman she will multiply it

1. Give her romance and she will give you love. 
 
2. Give her love and she will give you her heart.

3. Give her a house and she will give you a home.

4. Give her groceries and she will give you a meal.

5. Give her sperm and she will give you children.
 
6. Give her security, both emotional and financial, and she will give you admiration and respect.


The man who finds a wife finds a good thing; she is a blessing to him from the Lord. ~ Proverbs 18:22
