He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the LORD. Prov. 18:22 ESV
One morning I was praying in my room, my mind aimlessly drifting from one thing to another. I saw a picture of my wife and I walking together on the beach. It occurred to me that her birthday was coming up soon. Then I thought: 'You should take her away for the weekend.'
Later at the office, I checked my email and the first one was from a Beach Resort who offered an ocean front room with a jacuzzi for $49.95 a night. Though very busy, I gave in and asked her if she would like to go away for the weekend. She was delighted. We had a wonderful weekend together.
At another time, my wife was praying and the Lord directed her to do something special for me, much the same way. When a couple places God at the center of their life, the Lord will be the mediator in the relationship. He will tell you things that add spice and provide a way for you to do it.
The Lord loves you both, wants your marriage to work, and will give you these subtle hints along the way. Do not ignore them. They could easily be the bridge over troubled water.
Prayer: Father, I pray that you will speak to me clearly and show me things that I can do for others to improve the relationship, in the name of Jesus.
Note: Instead of a highlighted group this week, we just want to give a shoutout to all of the group leaders who volunteer at RHM! These wonderful brothers and sisters serve out of love for the people here, and we are truly blessed to have them. We encourage you to check out the Groups list and if these groups have been meaningful in your life, to post on their pages in appreciation for these amazing leaders :)! ALSO, the Creation Photographers theme of the week is " Season''s Change", based on Ecclesiastes 3: "For everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven". FINALLY, the Healthful Living event for August is "A Month of Fasting". This event is for any who wish to learn more about fasting, get your feet wet with a limited fast, join in with a full water-only fast, or pray for those participating! All are welcome to join :).
This is what I miss so dearly and had hoped for more of with my wife while she was here. I believe Father God has given me a dream upon my heart and a vision of a new wife in my future with Him truly at the center. I've been in God's learning process for 6 years now and I'm so thankful for all He has revealed to me and helped me to understand. He has to be the center of all things, Praise Him!
Prayer: Father, I pray that you will speak to me clearly and show me things that I can do for others to improve the relationship, in the name of Jesus. What a wonderful reminder to keep God first in our relationships! Thanks you and God bless!
You are such a Blessing ! Glad your here & met you!

Amen Jesus.
Amen.
Even in an unequally yoked marraige, if the Christian spouse gives their marraige over to God, He will bring peace and opportunity to show love. Since I did this my husband has been more understanding and loving. I am able to show more love and I am more understanding of our differences. it works both ways.
AMEN!
Amen
I agree!
God does want strong marriages. He will let you know how to lift each other up, put Him first in your life and He will bless you behont all that you even think.
