TOGETHER FOREVER.... THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH



The same God who commands us to leave our parents commands us to love and honor them. Leaving parents doesn't mean neglecting, forsaking or abandoning them. Leaving parents doesn't mean that you forget or stop providing for them. Leaving means you establish your own independent family unit free from parental influence & interference. Parents also need their independence & privacy. God's divine. “To solve a marriage problem, you have to talk with each other about it, choosing wisely the time and place. But when accusations and lengthy speeches of defense fill the dialogue, the partners are not talking to each other but past each other. Take care to listen more than you speak. If you still can’t agree on a solution, consider asking a third party, without a vested interest, to mediate.” 

God is not finished with your marriage. Great marriages are not built overnight. Two unique people who grew up in different places, under different circumstances & from different parents cannot suddenly become one flesh. God said "the two shall become one flesh." He didn't say "the two shall suddenly become one flesh." Give God time to perfect the union. Give the Holy Spirit time to transform you & your spouse. The oneness of marriage is a work of a lifetime.

Listen to Your Spouse: What are you doing to show your spouse that he/she is the most important person in your life. Do you give your spouse undivided attention? Sadly many spouses are often more respectful to strangers than they are to their spouses. If your spouse is trying to talk to you, whether it's to ask a simple question, to tell you how their day went, or to discuss an issue in your marriage, give them the same attention & courtesy you would give a complete stranger. Stop whatever you are doing, look them in the eye, listen & don't finish their sentences even if you think you know what they are going to say. Often your spouse is not looking for a solution to their problems; they just want a listening ear.

God Bless Our Homes.

RELATIONSHIP: WHAT YOU NEED TO CONSIDER BEFORE ENTERING RELATIONSHIP.

WHAT MEN WANT FROM WOMEN IN A RELATIONSHIP
