Preparing for Marriage(2)
Test of acceptance.
One of the many sided wisdom of a family is the capacity to accept unconditionally each order in spite of obvious weaknesses. Good parents keep hoping, loving and disciplining their children without destroying their identity through rejection .

Those who promote unhealthy competition provokes envy, disharmony .
Those who are preparing to get married should ask this question:. How do I react to the weaknesses of my partner. Do I confront such weakness with nagging, endless complain and destructive campaign.
If the answer is yes and yes, then there is a need for a change of mind and attitude. We can always seek grace from God to overcome any area of our weaknesses.

I know a man who is always blaming, nagging, complaining and attacking his wife thinking that will change her. As expected, this attitude brought the worst out of his wife and the marriage broke. Those who keep spreading the weaknesses of their partners among friends, families and foes are not wise.

There are those who are not ready to support their partners through transformational leadership, hoping that there is a better person outside who will not have any weakness.

Relationship is meant to be transformational for all parties and we must make it enjoyable while we are journeying into relationship bliss.

The good news is-- Marriage can be wonderful!

Nothing in life can rival the experience of a man and a woman in love and a family grounded in the commitment of their parents.

It's enormously appealing to share life at the deepest levels with someone to whom you are more attracted than anyone else in the world.

It is the sense of being in partnership with a person who likes the things you like, thinks the way you think, works as hard to make your marriage succeed as you do, and who above all else, thoroughly loves you and contributes to your growth (spiritually, physically, socially, intellectually etc)

When you find a person like this, your dream of experiencing deep happiness and total fulfillment is well within your grasp.

But it all begins with you and your dedication to making a prudent decision by building intimacy with Jesus Christ, such that you understand the nudgings, promotings and leading of the holy Spirit to guide and direct you at all times.

However gloomy the statistics about marriage seem to be, your choice of a partner can be made more wisely and skillfully than was true for your parents or grandparents

And so the Couples Workshop took place on the 16th of November, 2019. It was a great time we had. During the workshop, at the Marriage Clinic. We looked at the level of our relationship as a couple. Three major criteria were looked into: Communication, Trust and s*x. Marks were given on the scale of 10 to1. Each spouse rated the other. Many had grown to know and relate more intimately, hence you see 9/10, 8/10. But there are few who score the spouses very low, as low as 2/10.

It was noticed that the issues were in the area of trust and communication and we tried to look at reasons where this happens in marriage.

We looked at issue of trust:

Issues are to be confronted with each other and before God. Distrust happens in marriage if one or both of them had sinned against another during courtship. For example, if both had committed fornication and it is not properly dwelt with before marriage it becomes a stronghold of Satan. So every now and then suspicion arises and becomes a big deal.
The couple need to take this to God, repent to God and to one another to free themselves from Satan's hold.

For communication gap to be breached, the couple must listen to each other. Be patient to hear each other, speak what's on your mind to your spouse, don't assume anything at all. Ask God for grace to be understood by your spouse. Pray together over matter that's not clear. We used case studies to illustrate this in the lives of a couple.

Another speaker at the workshop will post her summary next week God will. We hope to hear from you. Help is available through God. You can call our numbers for counseling. God bless you real good.

NO FRIEN LIKE JESUS
1 There's not a friend like the lowly Jesus,
No, not one!
No, not one!
None else could heal all our soul's diseases,
No, not one!
No, not one!
Chorus:
Jesus knows all about our struggles;
He will guide till the day is done.
There's not a friend like the lowly Jesus,
No, not one!
No, not one!
2 No friend like Him is so high and holy,
No, not one!
No, not one!
And yet no friend is so meek and lowly,
No, not one!
No, not one![Chorus]
3 There's not an hour that He is not near us,
No, not one!
No, not one!
No night so dark but His love can cheer us,
No, not one!
No, not one![Chorus]
4 Did ever saint find this friend forsake him?
No, not one!
No, not one!
Or sinner find that He would not take him?
No, not one!
No, not one![Chorus]

In the Journey of marriage, cultivate friendship with the Lord Jesus and he will be there to advise you in the time of confusion, keep you in the time of trouble, strengthen you in time of weakness and uphold you when you feet appear to be slipping into doubt and despair . He will encourage you when you are discouraged and defend you when you are cheated. He will wipe your tears away and give you rest over every battle. He will comfort you and be there in times of loneliness. He is a friend you must carry into marriage and maintain in your marital journey.
