In my opinion a real marriage is simply a United Front, united means something that has been joined together and have become one, and front means the foremost part of an ARMED force, the furthest position that an army has reached and where the ENEMY is or maybe engaged.
You see when you put those two definitions together it simply reveals the way a marriage is suppose to be, two people who have become one (army) and are able and equipped to overcome the enemy (devil) and his tactics and schemes against them, and they will be able to see him from afar through the eyes of God, and the two will not have to fight because the battle belongs to the Lord and not them, all they have to do is show up dressed for battle in their uniform of UNITY!
I have learned that a marriage is not housed by walls of secrets or division, its foundation is built off of love, trust, honesty and a beautiful friendship that gets developed and bonded over time! And a TRUE marriage embraces repentance to one another and most importantly to God if the two of you have falling short of these things, remember FORGIVENESS is the key to unlocking all of these doors and repentance is CHOOSING to never open those doors again! :-)
ReplyDeleteOne more thing repenting to each other dose not always mean that someone committed adultery,because dishonor goes even further than that, if you have spoken to each other in a negative way or provoked one another to wrath or anger, gave each other the silent treatment, had phisical altercations, deliberately deprived each other of love and affection, communication with someone other than your spouse..all of this is dishonor and you have to repent to God and your spouse, forgive yourself and move forward in Jesus Name!
ReplyDeleteSay so girl..say so!! Love this
ReplyDeleteI get what you are saying, but what if you have repented and apologized for the wrong you have done and your spouse still holds on to the past--what do you do? And you are still being accused of the same thing over & over as well--then what Some things are easier said than done. I have learned that over the years
ReplyDeletein this type of situation you have to constantly intercede for him or her that they develop a heart and mind just like Gods, and see you the way God sees you..which is FORGIVEN. And you are right its going to take time bc there is a lot of hurt, bitterness,anger and revenge involved and all of this is amonition for the devil bc all of those emotions are on his playground, but prayer is the key and a whole lot of unconditional LOVE, just pray that their heart become like Gods, if they are willing to stay in it and change even though offense was involve and betrayl, if they choose to stay they have to let it go and move forward and you cant do that looking back! here are some scriptures you can use for this situation... Luke 7:47 and Matthew 18:22
