* Some notes from our last Marriage Workshop at Mt.Olive House of Prayer.
How can husbands show their wives unconditional love?;
- Going beyond faults
- Listening
- Sacrificing
- Don't assume
- Delivery & approach
- Patience
The bible points out to the husbands "husbands love your wives"
How can wives show husbands unconditional respect? ;
- Don't assume we think the same.
- Getting over/letting go of the past.
- Timing, knowing when to hold your tongue.
For the wives, the Bible points out "wives submit to yourselves to your husband".
"Husbands live with your wives according to knowledge"
Over time, we have to "re kindle the flame" in our marriages.
- Nurture our marriages
- Help the flames grow
- Stay and show interest in each other.
Similar to our pursuit with God, it is a constant pursuit.
We have so much to deal with, the first thing we need to get in order is our time with God. SPEND TIME WITH GOD.
In reference to communication: A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger. (Proverbs 15:1 KJV)
The main problem that Christians today have is that they do now stay in the word of God.
Unconditional Love from the husband needs to go beyond the wife's emotion.
Do we have a vision? As a couple, is there a goal at hand?
