Almost all married people I know, speak sooo negative on marriage. The famous words are: DON'T GET MARRIED! I'm so tired of people who got married too soon or got married for the wrong reason's spread their negativity around. Even though I know so many people who are unhappy in a marriage, I do believe in a beautiful marriage. Especially if its built on the foundation of GOD. Which MOST marriages aren't. What also gets to me is the NO SEX issue. Most married men say that once they said I do, the sex stopped. What's up with that man? I do know I've been single long enough to know I don't want my husband to be one of those guys hanging out at the bar complaining that he not getting any. I'm determined to change these negative issues around when GOD sends me my husband. But I really wish that the married folks would stop scaring and discouraging the unmarried. I do know that marriage isn't easy but I also believe GOD can bring any married couple through any trial or tribulation. So listen up married folks:
- If you don't have GOD ahead of your marriage then put him first.
- If your sex life is boring and dead, then research ways on how to spice it up.
- If your not open with your other half, then learn how to communicate.
- Never got to bed mad at each other. Find a resolution.
- Always keep romance in your marriage.
- Always be honest with each other. Lies only makes things worse.
- Stop speaking so negative on your marriage and start speaking positive.
- Stop spreading negative rumors about marriage to folks who are single or engaged.
And remember there is always a solution to every problem, especially if you have faith in GOD!
I'm with you on this one; down to every single detail! This is such a good subject, that I can't help but share!
ReplyDeleteI would also add respect your spouse. Wives submit to your husbands, and husbands bless your wives with love and admiration. Now I know most women cringe at the thought of submission, but it's not what you think. It's simply allowing your husband to be the man in your marriage. If you don't agree with your husband, all you have to do is respectfully, mention your concern (this means no nagging, yelling, attitude, etc). Respect and support your husband's decision; even when he decides to go the other direction. He is the one who is held accountable, by God, for his household. This includes disagreeing on spiritual/religious doctrine. Our first job as wives is to respect our husbands. There can't be two leaders in a home. You will find that the less you argue with your husband the more he will listen to you, and most likely go with your opinion anyway; he just needs to know that you have his back.
Ooh, one more thing: don't forget about your spouse after you have children. Your marriage still comes first. As long as the marriage is sound, the children will be well taken care of. Our duties as husbands/wives remain the same before and after children.
I think some people go into marriage without first discussing their goals and coming into agreement about what kind of marriage their going into. Marriage sounds great, but it's not as easy as people think, but it's great as long as you work for it. And believe me it's worth it.
Great entry!
I hear what you saying and I agree totaly if you cant put God first then your marrage will suffer and commuiation is key and trust is as welland as foe me and my house we will serve the Lord.
