What can we do about the perilous times we are facing in this present age? It seems like every time we watch the television innocent people are being killed or hurt badly. Jonathan and I have decided years ago that we do not want cable in our home, because there is nothing positive for us or our children to watch. Instead we have invested in movies that will build our spirit up. This is our attempt to protect our family from the mess that is on television. However, I do get a chance to watch some cable TV while I exercise at the gym.
Yesterday, while I was doing some cardio, I saw on the news that someone has bombed the Boston Marathon. I could not believe someone would do that to all those innocent people. My first thought was, Lord, it seems like every week people are killing innocent people. After thinking about the Boston marathon and wondering why all of these killings are happening, the Lord lead me to this scripture passage, 2 Timothy chapter 3: 2-5. [click to continue…]
In a previous post, I explained the roles of each spouse in a Christian marriage. I referenced the scripture passage Ephesians 5:21-32. God designed marriage in such a way that when we work together as a team we lack nothing. Realistically, most marriages are not in balanced. One spouse may be doing more than another or everyone is doing and no one is showing how much they need each other. I believe that is why marriages fall apart after so many years of being together.
For years the marriage is operating as team but no one is expressing how grateful they are to one another, and then one day the couple believes they would be better off without each other. Occasionally they realize how much they need each other and they get remarried. Are you getting tired of fulfilling your responsibility in your marriage? Whether because you are not being appreciated or you feel like it is too much work. Click to continue…
Anyone who has a cellular phone has heard the statement,” can you hear me know” at one time or another. If you have a good cell phone provider then you were probably not the one saying it, but you have definitely heard it said to you in the past. When you are on the phone with someone and there is a bad connection it can be really frustrating. After multiple attempts at trying to hear what the other person is saying, out of exhaustion you finally say,” I’ll call you later.”
In our marriage sometimes we can have a bad connection while trying to communicate with each other. It can be very frustrating when we are expressing our feelings to our spouse and they interpret them to mean something entirely different then what we were intending for it to mean. What can we do when frustration arises due to miscommunication in our marriage? It is not as simple as saying” I’ll call you later,” because we are not talking on the phone. However, we can suggest that we talk more about the topic later on once we have both calmed down. Click to continue…
