If you want PEACE and LOVE in your marriage.
Then each person in the marriage is responsible for contributing
for the health of the marriage, and not looking to the other for the
fulfillment of the happiness, but giving of yourself to the other.
If each are looking out for their PARTNER in their marriage instead
of their own desires, then your desires will be met without seeking your
own desires, because if you put the other first before yourself, and the other
does the same then the LOVE will FLOW without effort, because EACH are
being responsible for the LOVE given to the OTHER comes back tenfold.
We found this TRUE in our marriage. The more I give my wife, the more she
gives back to me. But I do not do this out of greed I do this because I love her.
The more I seek HER NEEDS first before mine, she gladly reciprocates the same
without me even mentioning my needs, she automatically does without any expectations from me. The LOVE really flows easily.

We must get rid of EGO! EGO definition : EDGE GOD OUT !!!
EGO & GOD do not mix!

SO Get rid of EGO and Get GOD into your marriage.
LOVE will really abound! In Jesus name. Amen!

My wife and I have been married 20 years as of this June 26th 2013 (since 1993).
In the first 10 years we had many ups and downs. In fact, it has been in the past few years that we have BOTH really matured in our Love and Marriage because we have truly more matured in our walk in Jesus. The years before we walked in ego and selfishness excluding Jesus as the center, there were discord and unrest. But then the second half our marriage that JESUS was and is the CENTER of our MARRIAGE, Our marriage has been full of LOVE and BLISS! AMEN!

As i'm reading all the posts here, i notice that there's trouble in many marriages, i myself had problems and God brought restoration after i trusted only Him to do it for us, and everyday satan brings new chalenges to destroy our marriage, the fact that my husband backslidden make things a lot difficult and satan want me to be concerned about our problems and to get angry at God for allowing these things to happen, i decided i will never blame God for my problems neither will i leave God, i can loose it all in life but i cant afford to loose Jesus, Hes too precious to loose. Im praying for all of you, remember you're not alone, Jesus knows what we're going through, and remember Heaven is waiting for us, the problems of this world will always be there. Be blessed all of you, i love you

Prayer for my relationship. My fianice & I have been together for going on 13 yrs I love him with all my heart. But in the past we have had alot of problems. After our 10yr twins were born we began to use meth heavly. which lead to him & I to fight. which I assume also lead him to cheat many time. we both ended u in Jail for possession of a controlled substance under a gram ( less than a sweeten low package). Thank God his parents took our twins & we didn't loose them. afer the both of us being in & out of jail & prison we have decided to give it another try. I have been out of prison for 5 yrs & he is in prison but I feel God working in our lives. So I just ask for prayer for our relationship. So that when he come home we are able to marry & raise our children. who by the way I have had back home with me 2 yrs now & Loving it.

Thank You for ur time & prayer,

I have been married for 8 yrs. My husband recently stated to me that he don't know how to deal with temptation and admitt to cheating. It has been an torn between the family and children. I am a christian but he isn't and it has been hard talking to him at times. Yes I want prayer. Yes I know the devil comes to steal kill and destroy. I have been strong in the Lord and I have been praying constantly. I do trust and believe in God. Yes I love him and I want our marriage to take a chance. God join us together for a reason. Yes my situation is sad bc he left me with all the bills and I am in so much debt. I have to work at least clost to 100 hrs to pay all the bills and have money left over for gas food and etc. I am a faithful wife and I love the Lord. I just ask for your prayers. Thank you... my family needs prayer my husband needs prayers also.

I am not married yet because my boyfriend od seven years that I have a child with keeps procrastinating about making the committment. He has asked if the time come would I marry him,but no formal proposal or even recognizing me as his girlfriend. My question is am I being nieve to think this man will commit to me eventually or is he just"getting the milk for free" I have pursued measures to just end the relationship and make him pay court ordered child support rather than continue living in sin with someone who doesnt love me enough to marry me and make our relationship a family. Am I wrong in doing so? I know the Bible says to be patient and forgiving but I also dont want to be a stupid role model for my children either. Can anyone relate to my situation?

When you do go to marriage counseling, how do you know when you have found the right counselor? Christian counselors in Ohio is only a title. They are not allowed to refer to any scripture, or any particular doctrine unless both people and counselor are in agreement of such. A big run around.

I'm sick of everyone complaining about their marriage. You had it on your heart to get married. So find a way to make it work. Unless you are being beaten or abused. In that case it's fine to divorce. Even if your marriage ends up as just a good friendship. What's amazing is my aunt was only married for about 2 years when her husband suffered a stroke. Since then, she has remained faithful and caring to him. Their relationship changed so much. She still loves him, but in a different way. Never once has she truely thought of leaving him...even though things can get tough. That's what MARRIAGE is. Not being a * when it gets tough. Get over your issues and work through it. Prayer is good, but you got to do your part. My aunt will be my example when I marry.

My husband and I are going through some very rough times. We both committed sins against each other. During a brief separation he became the sincere man that I fell in love with 9 years ago. Once I came back home things became a slippery slope. I know God as my Lord and Savior and he believes. I have forgiven and asked for forgiveness. It seems he has already forgotten how much our marriage is worth. I ask for prayer that he remembers. For God to strengthen our marriage. I took our vowels seriously almost 8 years ago when I made them. God brought us together when he did for a reason and has blessed us with beautiful children that are now feeling his push. I pray that he helps us fix it and devine intervention to keep it together and allow the happiness and unconditional love back.
I ask my brothers and sisters to pray for the same...Please God help! And heal us!

My wife moved out about 2 months ago and we have signed divorce papers. I am believing that God will restore our marriage. I am a true believer in Jesus Christ and so is my wife. She evens knows that she is doing wrong but says she cannot trust me anymore. I used to drink heavy but God has set me totally free and she has even seen what God has done but she says that the "in love feeling" has gone but I know that God can restore that. I have been through many battles in prayer about this going on 4 months now and it has been VERY hard but deep in my heart I believe that God is healing us. Maybe we can all agree for our situations and all have wonderful PRAISE reports. I have had to learn patience and that has been so hard I can't describe it. The battles and doubts that come to my head are so bad, not my heart but in my mind and it is hard trying to battle that but God wants to heal my marriage as well as yours. In Malachi, God says that he HATES divorce, well, I agree with him, SO DO I

Hi, I would like to join this discussion and get some other christian views on my situation

Kerry, I know it's been almost a year since you posted that message about you and your wife having some difficulties. I hope things have been resolved and your marriage has been saved, but if you are still enduring hard times with her, you need to realise that people won't change unless they want to. You can pray that God have conviction on her heart, but if she doesn't want to change, you can't do anything to get her to see that she needs help. Most people that have issues think there is nothing wrong with them, but sometimes it takes God's divine intervention and conviction on the heart for people to realise that they have a problem, and they need help. You might want to look into counseling. My parents have had marriage issues since they were married, they are still together after 31 years, but my dad never thought he had a problem, and he didn't like counseling because he believes he doesn't have a problem. They became Christians a year before I was born, and my dad still struggles with admitting that he is wrong, and needs help. I truly hope that by now your wife has decided to seek help. If not, I am truly sorry. I will definitely be praying for you nonetheless. God bless, and take care!
