Truth or Consequences

Many people happily enter into marriage with the hope that it will last a lifetime. Unfortunately, some couples are so preoccupied with the immediate benefits of marriage that they fail to thoroughly weigh the realisms involved in a lifetime commitment. Upon examining my own premarital experience, I offer the following suggestions on how to prepare for a victorious marriage and a poetic narrative on subsequent lessons learned when you don’t.

Seek God’s Approval: Daily strengthen your communication with God by praying, meditating, and reading the Bible. Ask God for insight and listen for God’s answer. If you are being open and honest about your relationship with that special someone, you will know in your spirit whether or not God approves. Be obedient to God’s instruction because lifetime decisions without God’s direction can lead to disastrous results.

Evaluate The Relationship: Consider your motives in marrying: Are they the right ones? Have you developed a real friendship, and do you communicate with one another or is most of your time spent getting physical? Do the similarities between the two of you outweigh the differences?

The Relationships Of Life

Friends and Couples

Everyone was created to be in harmonious relationship with God, self, and others as stated in Matthew 22:37-39, “Jesus replied: ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.” Getting to know our Creator and His guidelines is a prerequisite to knowing and loving ourselves, and having the ability to demonstrate that love to others. This article gives some insight and instruction concerning divine relationships between friends, couples, husbands and wives, and parents and children.

Relationships between friends or romantically involved men and women can lead to emotional discord when a person does not have positive self-esteem or a sense of completeness without a desperate need of being in a relationship to feel whole or valued. It is crucial to be satisfied in your singleness and individuality in order to experience healthy, happy relationships with yourself and others.

Marriage: Love Poems and Principles

Love

Love,
a warm sensation generating through your body,
filling your entire being,
radiating inside, ready to explode and
overflow into the world,
expanding and sharing.

Love,
a feeling that seems overwhelming
in intensity and emotion;
you want to laugh and cry,
and shout with joy, praising the Lord
for such a blessed experience.

Love,
a feeling that should not and will not
be suppressed for fear of being hurt.
No! Not if that love is real;
No! Not if that love is agape love,
that’s the real love, God’s love, the perfect love. 

Marriage

Marriage,
a uniting of two
caught up in each other’s love,
exploring and sharing the mysteries
of your inner-beings;
encouraging and supporting,
experiencing the sorrows and the joys
of life together.

Marriage,
for better or for worse
in sickness and in health,
till death do you part.

My Favorite Place

I have a unique, favorite special place
where I always like to be.
It is warm and safe and pleasurable;
I’m at peace there and free to be me.

This special place can come to me at will
or I can go to it.
I am relaxed when I am lying down
and I am comforted when I sit.

I look forward to this special place,
I want to be there all the time.
But I know that it’s not feasible,
so I maximize the moments when this place is mine.

Have you figured out this special place?
Based on my description, how could you not know?
That in your presence is a unique and special place
where I feel complete and joyously aglow.

You are the key to my unique favorite special place,
a grand structure filled with beauty, grace, and charm.
Up against your chest, close to your heart, is my favorite special place,
embraced by the gift of your sweet love and your muscular arms.

Love Praise

Thank you for how you demonstrate you love me;
I sincerely appreciate it and it’s always right on time.
Your actions inspire my love and creativity
to encourage, strengthen and stimulate your mind.
