MARRIAGE Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour (Ecc.4:9). The most important thing in a marriage is for both to have faith in God & Jesus Christ! When you have faith, everything is possible! Behind every great man, there's a great little woman who helps make him that way, his helpmeet. Man may be the head, but the woman is often the neck that turns it. Remember what the guy asked his wife? He said, "How come God made you women so beautiful & yet so dumb?" Remember her wise answer? "Beautiful enough so you'll want to marry us, & dumb enough for us to marry you!" A wife is someone cherished in a very special way, Who puts the joy in living with her sweetness day by day. A wife is someone close enough to really understand, To inspire & to encourage & to lend a helping hand. A wife is one who makes a home a happy place for all. Who shows her special thoughtfulness in ways both big & small. A wife is someone wonderful who always has smile, Who keeps her husband happy & makes his life worthwhile. Remind yourself of all the good qualities of your mate & try not to think about the bad ones. In the building business they say: Two men can do three times as much work as one man. God's principle is that two can do ten times as much as one! "One can chase a thousand, but two can put ten thousand to flight!" (De.32:30.) How else can two become one, more than in one ? His Spirit cures both impotency and frigidity in His bride. Without good communication with your Lord there cannot be much good communication between you. One of the greatest assets to a good marriage is honesty, along with a sense of humour! If you want to learn something about unselfishness, humility and sharing, just get married! The husband is really the boss when it comes to the natural family, & God's Word clearly says that women should obey their husbands. Phil.4:8 applies to your mate as well. Try to remind yourself constantly of his or her good qualities, the good things, & try not to think about the bad things. Any woman who will give her man anything he wants, including another woman, really loves him! Behind every great man there's a great woman. A woman can make or break a man. If you want to leave your mate simply because there is something about them you don't like, you're going to want to leave every mate you ever get, because there's bound to be something you don't like about each one. There's somebody for everybody! Compliment her! Tell her she's beautiful and she'll be beautiful! Tell her she's wonderful and she'll be wonderful! Any man who thinks he is more intelligent than his wife is married to a smart woman. No matter how orderly a woman is by nature, it is a mistake for her to always be putting her husband in his place. The only cure for a lost love is a new love. There are two periods in a man's life when he doesn't understand women--before marriage & after marriage. A marriage is a witness, like a baptism. The circle of the ring is a symbol of eternal verity & the gold a symbol of lasting value. Marriage is the most intimate, humbling, loving, and self-sacrificial relationship between human beings. It's hard to love someone you don't respect or admire for something. Say "I love you" a hundred times a day! The word "engagement" has two meanings: in war it's a battle, in courtship it's surrender. Many a man in love with a dimple makes the mistake of marrying the whole girl. One of the mysteries of life is how the boy who wasn't good enough to marry the , can be the father of the smartest grandchild in the world. Marriage is a sexual relationship, or you could have simple stayed good friends. A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband, while a man never worries about the future until he gets a wife. Success in marriage is much more than finding the right person!--It is a matter of being the right person! People wouldn't get divorced for such trivial reasons if they didn't get married for such trivial reasons. A mother takes twenty years to make a man of her boy, & another woman often makes a fool of him in twenty minutes. The trouble in marriage often starts when the man is so busy earning his salt that he forgets his honey. Every man needs a wife: Many things go wrong that can't be blamed on the government. Don't judge your wife too harshly for her weaknesses. If she didn't have them, chances are she wouldn't have married you. The plural of spouse is spice. . The Lord is very reasonable and merciful and understanding and loving and kind, so that if two people simply do not want to live with each other He does not make rules to force them to do so, as man does. Marriage: Trust is the start of it, joy is a part of it & love is the heart of it. In most cases I would strongly advise parents with to try to stick it out and survive without separation for the sake of the . Some women work so hard to make good husbands that they never quite manage to make good wives. Keep your eyes wide open before marriage, & half-shut afterwards. Of all the home remedies, a good wife is the best. Marriage is an institution held together by three books--Good Book, cookbook, & checkbook. By the time he whispers, "We were made for each other," she is already planning alterations. Often, when she says, "No", they both live happily ever after, too. The great secret of successful marriage is to treat all disasters as incidents, & none of the incidents as disasters. You never realise how much a person's voice can change, until your wife stops yelling at you & answers the phone. Marriage is the most satisfying, most strengthening & most lasting human relationship on this Earth. A vision at dinner is often a sight at breakfast. The Bible rules for marriage are still the ideal & work very well with God's help & your patience, if given half a chance. If you can't get along with the mate you now have under almost any circumstances, how do you know you're going to be able to get along with the next one under almost any other circumstances? People who can't get along with their present mate, frequently can't get along with any mate! Adam had the whole World to himself & God in the Garden of Eden, & yet he wasn't truly happy or satisfied without a woman. Only a woman's bosom can satisfy us men. Too often a mate is simply bored and wants a little variety or a change, but this is not a sufficient excuse for breaking up a marriage. Let'm take a little vacation! . A woman needs her love expressed in loving care, even more than loving sex. The grass on the other side of the fence always looks greener, but usually only because of inaccessibility. The absolutely perfect mate simply does not exist or they wouldn't be human. If someone can stand to put up with you, maybe you'd better learn how to put up with them too and be thankful that anyone is willing to live with you at all. Except Thou build it, Father, The house is built in vain; Except Thou, Saviour, bless it, The joy will turn to pain; But none can break the marriage Of hearts in Thee made one, And the Love Thy Spirit hallows Is endless love begun. If your mate loves you and loves the Lord, then he or she also loves others and wants to help them. Ask God for His love for each other, or you'll never make it--as a marriage Be to her virtues very kind, Be to her faults a little blind.
