L~O~V~E

I got this wonderful info from our pastor at church on Valentine's Day. A dear friend of mine from church posted this on her blog, I just thought it might be perfect for me to post as well and give you some encouraging words or reminders (because hey let's face it... we all need reminders from time to time, especially when we are talking about marriage ladies! :O )


How to Have a Satisfying Marriage
as given by Pastor Tom Lindberg


1. Communication~Ephesians 4:15 "Instead we will speak the truth in love, growing in every way more and more like Christ, who is the head of His body, the church."


2. Compromise~1 Corinthians 13:5 "...it {love} does not demand its own way."


3. Courtship~Proverbs 5:18 "Let your wife be a fountain of blessing for you. Rejoice in the wife of your youth."
*If there was more courting in marriage, there be less marriages in court.*


4. Contentment~Exodus 20:17 "You must not covet your neighbor's house. You must not covet your neighbor's wife, male or female servant, ox or donkey, or anything else that belongs to your neighbor."


5. Christ~Matthew 6:33 "Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and He will give you everything you need."


Blessings,
Katie
