Chapter 25-For Better or For Worse; Day868; Mom MRI

Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and shall become united and cleave to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. Genesis 2:24

Nothing brings more joy than marriage and nothing brings more misery than a bad marriage.
Marriage is God’ gift
What is marriage?
God gave marriage to us.
We are meant for each other.
Spouse should be our best friend also
Greatest joy is to be with each other till the end

Purpose of Marriage
1. God gave marriage to us for our companionship
2. God also established marriage for our mutual help and encouragement
3. God gave us marriage for our mutual happiness and pleasure
4. God gave us marriage to provide for the well-being of our families
5. God gave marriage to us to reflect Christ

Conflict-the true source of marital difficulties
Conflicts are caused by problems that couples create
Conflicts comes from spiritual disharmony
Conflicts are caused by selfishness
Opposite of love is not hate but SELFISHNESS
True love is an act of the will, a conscious decision to do what is best for the other person instead of ourselves
The true meaning when we say “I DO” is Lifetime Commitment
Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others. Philippians 2:4
