Approach to Marriage

Posted on by

As I mentioned in my previous blog, marriage is a very serious life commitment, not only to your spouse, but also to God. However, many times the world treats marriage more like dating: something to do for a little while but when one gets bored they get out of it. Sadly this attitude is also displayed by some Christians. I want to compare what the Christian’s attitude about marriage should be to what the world’s attitude about marriage is. Duration. The Christian marriage is a new, permanent lifestyle. The worldly marriage is temporary lifestyle that can easily be changed. In … Continue reading →

The Christian Marriage

Posted on by

Over the next few weeks I want to focus some blog articles on marriage, and more specifically the Christian marriage, which should be centered on God. The topic of marriage has been on my mind a lot lately. There have been some really good discussions in the Christian Families Forum specifically about Christianity and marriage. My husband and I have some good friends who are getting married this weekend. I also came across the following quote by Rita Rudner, a comedienne: “In Hollywood a marriage is a success if it outlasts milk.” The quote by Ms. Rudner really caught my … Continue reading →

A Godly Wife

What is a godly woman? I think it’s important here to refer you back to my previous blog and to stress that there is no mold. We are all unique and different and I’m glad. Being a godly wife doesn’t mean you look like June Cleaver and it doesn’t mean you have to be perfect. You must truly believe that before you read on to what a godly wife is. Otherwise you will just be following a bunch of rules and trying to play a role. First of all, a godly woman has a relationship with God. She makes time … Continue reading →

What’s Your Love Language?

The first couple of years of marriage were somewhat confusing for my husband and I. I would plan elaborate meals to show my husband that I loved him, while he would have preferred to go out and rake leaves together. Sometimes I longed for him to be more romantic. Meanwhile he was in the kitchen washing dishes, thinking of himself as the king of romance. What was our problem? The problem was that we didn’t know each other’s love language. After our first daughter was born, we took a child training class and it talked about the importance of the … Continue reading →

What If My Spouse Doesn’t Find Me Attractive?

I have seen a lot of posts about this on the forums recently and I’ve wondered about this myself. After all, our personal body image affects how we perceive other people’s reactions to us. It’s harder when a husband or wife tells us flat out that we are not attractive. So my first question in this scenario is ‘why not?’ What is about them or me that they or I do not find attractive? Is it physically based? Does weight play a factor into it? Is it appearance, how they dress? Facial hair? How they style their hair? What is … Continue reading →
