For the Married People

How much effort are we putting into our relationship with our spouse? (OK guys, this is for us...) Take a look at what God says about wives...



Ephesians 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.



Ephesians 5:28 In the same way, husbands should love their wives as they love their own bodies. The man who loves his wife loves himself.



Proverbs 18:22 He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the Lord.



Proverbs 31:10 A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies.



Hebrews 13:4 Marriage should be honored by everyone, and husband and wife should keep their marriage pure. God will judge as guilty those who take part in sexual sins.




I just read a story about a guy named Michael Sweet, whose wife was diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer. The doctors basically had no hope for her. Michael has been evaluating and focusing on how much she means to him. The cool thing is that God has done what no one else could.... wipe her body clean of disease! I'm sure Michael placed very high value on Kyle (his wife) BEFORE this ordeal... but how much more does he appreciate God's gift of her now...... Guys, don't let a tragedy or a threatening time in life be the only thing that causes you to HAVE, HOLD, and CHERISH her until God takes you home! I gotta go - I need to express to Vange what she means to me!







Live loud, live intentionally, and love God / Family / and Friends with every word and every action.
