Today, we are going to learn how to create a healthy, life-giving marriage that is unstoppable!
Over the last couple of years, there has been a deterioration in husband and wife relationships. Divorce is on the rise, and there seem to be more attacks on the institution of marriage.
Marriage is an institution God created; two people become one when they marry. Though it is the responsibility of the husband and wife to build that relationship and guard it, we must be aware that other people don't have that commitment to safeguard and protect your relationship. We must constantly work on our marriage to spend the rest of our life with the person God brought into our lives.
Today, Pastor Jimn will share how to build an affair-proof marriage in this BONUS episode. He will discuss the most common reasons for infidelity and show us what we need to do to protect our marriage.
Points to ponder:
When we take our wedding vows, it's until death do us part. And so we're saying, look in tough times and good times, it doesn't matter, I'm going to stay committed to the person I have given my life to that I've made a covenant with. (10:15)
Happiness is not something that I have to have to renew this commitment. We will choose to be in covenant. Happiness is a feeling; love is a choice. There will be moments when you're going to feel in love and when you're not. But the truth is, we've got to renew our commitment to stay in covenant and to be willing, to be unhappy until you work it out. (11:05)
Guard your thoughts. Having an affair is a process. It didn't just go from one moment. It was hundreds and 1000s of thoughts. It's interactions, moments, and segments of time. They never happen in a moment. (24:40)
