Put God First

I have been married 25 years. Every year is a blessing to not have turned into another statistic. Websites like this are a great resource to read up on problem resolution and talk to others about similar situations. The best advice I have ever received- and I received as a toast on my wedding day from my Aunt Em, was for both my husband and I to put God first in everything you do. If you are going through marital problems- first make a commitment to line your self up with the Lord and his word and then consult with reputable counselors such as Dr.Les to start reconciling and you will make it!

I promise- The Lord will not put you through more than you can handle....

Let's just say that marriage doesn't fall into place. It takes planning and if you do not have a spiritual dimension to your life, you have that much further to climb up the hill.

ABSOLUTEY! There are many, many advantages to a marriage of two followers of Christ who use God as the glue of life. We have been married a long time...there have been occasions in our lives when one lifted the other during times of discouragement, but most of all, God has been there through it all of the ups and downs, even when we were both discouraged. He has carried us through the storms of life and has been the icing on the cake of life for both of us. This discussion renews a scripture for me that was read at our wedding: Ecclesiastes 4:9-11 "Two are better than one because they have a good return for their labor. 10 For if either of them falls, the one will lift up his companion. But woe to the one who falls when there is not another to lift him up. 11 Furthermore, if two lie down together they keep warm, but how can one be warm alone? 12 And if one can overpower him who is alone, two can resist him. A cord of three strands is not quickly torn apart."
