What GOD has JOINED TOGETHER Win in Marriage
“Through skillful and godly Wisdom is a house (a life, a home, a family) built, and by understanding it is established [on a sound and good foundation],” Proverbs 24:3 AMPC
“In his grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well. So if God has given you the ability to prophesy, speak out with as much faith as God has given you. If your gift is serving others, serve them well. If you are a teacher, teach well. If your gift is to encourage others, be encouraging. If it is giving, give generously. If God has given you leadership ability, take the responsibility seriously. And if you have a gift for showing kindness to others, do it gladly.” Romans 12:6-8 NLT
“Inside of every child is an emotional tank waiting to be filled with love.” Dr. Ross Campbell “Fathers, do not irritate and provoke your children to anger [do not exasperate them to resentment], but rear them [tenderly] in the training and discipline and the counsel and admonition of the Lord.” Ephesians 6:4 AMPC
What Happened to the Wedding Day? Adults have the same need for love as well. We too have a love tank that needs to be constantly filled.
The Challenge “What I don’t understand about myself is that I decide one way, but then I act another, doing things I absolutely despise…I can will it, but I can’t do it. I decide to do good, but I don’t really do it; I decide not to do bad, but then I do it anyway. My decisions, such as they are, don’t result in actions. Something has gone wrong deep within me and gets the better of me every time.” Romans 7:15, 19, 20 MSG Is it possible to love a spouse who has become your enemy? Can I love a person who has hurt me so deeply and so often? Matthew 5:44; Luke 6:38
"For with God nothing will be impossible." (Luke 1:37 NKJV) When our emotional love tank is full, we feel complete, significant, cared for and even energized, making it much easier and even effortless to love those dear to us according to their language.

““Today I have given you the choice between life and death, between blessings and curses. Now I call on heaven and earth to witness the choice you make. Oh, that you would choose life, so that you and your descendants might live! You can make this choice by loving the Lord your God, obeying him, and committing yourself firmly to him. This is the key to your life. And if you love and obey the Lord, you will live long in the land the Lord swore to give your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”” Deuteronomy 30:19-20 NLT
