A Real Marriage.

A few weeks ago I ran across a video series by a pastor in Seattle titled Real Marriage.

I had time and thought why not listen. The title of the first message was "New Marriage, Same Spouse," which really caught my attention. As I listened I was pleasantly surprised by the straight forward talk, honesty, confession, and practical help. Not to mention the biblical based priciples.

The Pastor and his wife take time to share their own mistakes what they have learned and discovered the hard way. I was so encouraged I thought well I can not wait to listen to the next week. My husband and I made a date of it. We cuddled on the couch to hear the second message titled "Friend With Benefits." Again, pleasantly surprised. It was like this message was speaking our language.

Lionel and I married so young, VERY young. One thing we have said all these 23 years is that we are best friends and truly we are. And I have told my friends and kids over and over, many days I do not feel like being a wife, but I ALWAYS feel like being with my best friend. And as we watched the video I found such encouragement by the same message in their marriage. They had struggled to be friends but found their way to friendship thus strengthening their marriage.

Marriage IS friendship! I will share further on that but for now...watch the series.

I am reading the book too! Wonderful insight. More on that to come as well.I am so grateful for sermons and helps with the most basics of necessities in our life that inspire us to victory and that are so contrary to our culture.

God's first words concerning marriage..."It is not good for man to be alone."

I will leave you with this thought.

Blessings!

great deal of espresso so i feel I require whiten them.

Training and indoctrination are often confused. The standard text guide reply,?
could in reality be erroneous? but a student who can begin to see the error clearly, is marked down
as being a 'heretic', however a pupil who learns the official correct
answer like a trained parrot, passes the program! Who determines the
'answer'? Hundreds of billions of dollars in corporate profit might be at stake, as with the
erooneous hypothesis of 'chemical inbalance' inside the brain requiring bogus pharmeceutical intervention?

so CAVEAT!

Let me just say some thing here. These lists are all crap and the crappiest and most untrue of all "sex lists" is Adrian Colesberry's "12 Factors Fellas Want You Understood in Bed". I encourage all men to go this link
