Marriage Success
God has made provisions for you to withstand negative influences on your marriage.
If you really want your spouse to see Jesus in you, you have to genuinely put into practice an attitude of becoming more like Christ in everything you do.
You might not feel like planning, but a little inconvenience now can save a lot of heartache later.
In the business of life, couples in blended families often stop connecting through shared leisure time. They simply spend their time on other things. But, wise remarried couples recognize the importance of leisure, and they maximize their fun-factor.
Remarriage should be considered carefully and only after a couple has sought premarital counseling.
When we choose to live our married life according to the design God has for us, it can be amazing.
Inter-ethnic couples face key decisions early in the marriage that establish their foundation. By intentionally attending to these decisions, they leverage their differences as strengths.
Unrealistic expectations create disillusionment when your hopes are not realized. Realistic expectations for your blended family give much need perspective and guidance for a fulfilling family experience.
The reality of the presence of adversity in life is a given.
To assume that our ability to love another person has its source in our own hearts carries with it the potential to be embarrassing, painful, or dangerous.
Serving your spouse should be considered an opportunity and conducted with joy. Jesus was the perfect example of serving with the right attitude.
Spiritual intimacy between a husband and wife provides a safe covering.
As with everything in our lives, our ability to live in the fullness that God has for us has all to do with our focus.
Together, we have unearthed one of the most overlooked secrets for a strong marriage — going into God’s presence together to pray and read His Word.
What’s a hedge? And why would you want one in your marriage?
Commitment means making a choice to give up other choices.
Loving God is a great place to build a foundation for spiritual intimacy within a marriage.
A hedge is a protective investment that will help your relationship to flourish like never before.
Being ‘there’ for your spouse is what being married is really about. It takes time to get to know another person. If you’re not available, it can’t happen.
