Maintaining A Healthy Marriage & A Happy Home is one of the best gifts you can give your children. Love, honor and respect each other and live together with your spouse in such a way that you give your children reasons to believe in marriage.

Marriage is modeled. Your children cannot model a marriage they have never seen. Model the kind of marriage you would want for your children. Be the kind of spouse you would want your child to be married to.

Husbands; treat your spouse the way you would want someone to treat your daughter. Wives; treat your husband the way you would want someone to treat your son.

STEP 2 OF THE 10 ESSENTIAL STEPS TO A STABLE AND HAPPY MARRIAGE.
Gen. 2:18-24. ( TOLERANCE.)
When Young people are still single and bubbling with zeal they often find it difficult to reconcile misunderstandings, and this does not augur well for good family relationship. You often hear some of them exclaim" I will not tolerate nonsense when I marry." There are places you may not tolerate nonsense but certainly not in marriage and family. This is so, because' nonsense" is often a part of marriage. Now what and what should one tolerate in the family in other to have a stable, happy marriage and home.
1. TOLERATE THE UNAVOIDABLE NONSENSES IN MARRIAGE.

Marriage is a deep well that contains a lot of unwanted nonsenses. These nonsenses can be found in husbands, wives, childrens, members of the extended family and even friends and strangers to your family. If one does not tolerate such occasional nonsenses in marriage, you may be very surprised to see your marriage falling apart.

2. TOLERATE THE NAGGING HABITS OF YOUR PARTNER.

Nagging can be contagious in the family. Silence is the antidote that stop this infectious diseases from spreading. However, nagging seems to be part of marriage relationship. If after marriage you discover to your dismay and discomfort that your partner is a nagger, all you have to do is learn to tolerate. After the wind, comes the breeze. Do something positive or practical response to help stop the things that ignite nagging.

3. TOLERATE SOME ACTIONS THAT ARE ALIEN TO YOUR PERSONAL LIFESTYLE.

Marriage sometimes, is the combination of two extremes. Like in the case of Abigail and Nabal. It could be possible to have couples whose lifestyles are of opposite direction. In such case. What do you do to remain happy and stable? Don't listen to those telling you that you are not compatible with him or her, but tolerate. Remember, you have one family to build, out of this family could emerge the person the world needs. No sacrifice will be too great for you to pay to keep your family together and happy for life.

4. TOLERATE THE UNUSUAL BEHAVIORS OF A PREGNANT OR NURSING WIFE.

Some men are specialist and experts in intercepting the murmuring and heart complaints of their wives. From bed -room they hear through the walls, the murmuring of pregnant wives in the kitchen. Even when such wives are quarreling with their food items or movement of babies in the womb. The best a husband can do at such time is to understand and tolerate such unusual actions.

5. TOLERATE THE UNDESIRABLE ACTIONS OF A HUSBAND UNDER FINANCIAL PRESSURE.

Nothing makes a happy like knowing that he as the bread winner of the family. Just like last of pregnancy upsets wives, so lack of money to meet family demands upsets and dampens a man's zeal. Good wives, should not mind behaviors of a penniless husband. Everything provokes and annoys a man who can not fend for his family. If a wife has money while the husband is suffering such case, she should let loose her purse to heal the man.

6. TOLERATE TIME WASTING NATURE OF YOUR WIFE AND PRACTICALLY HELP HER.

No good house wife leaves her home at a stretch. She will always go back to the room to make sure that things are safe. There are many things which wives see and men do not see and this makes them want to make sure. The way to help your wife get ready quick for church service or ceremonies and parties, is not to dress up in ten minutes, dash out to the stiring and begin to blast the horn in the neighborhood in quest to quicken your wife. Husband who have learnt the secrets of family governance, will do two things to avoid waste of time. They will wake up their wives one or two hours prior to time of departures. They will help practically and manually to see that their wives are ready to go. ( To be continued) MAY GOD HELP US IN JESUS NAME 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Created for Eternal Life - DR. MYLES MUNROE
Lord, you have been our dwelling place throughout all generations (Psalm 90:1).

God is called a creator because He always has something to do. God is always busy doing something. When God took us out of Himself, He gave us part of His Spirit. God is Spirit and spirits are eternal. They cannot die. Therefore, what is spirit and comes out of God is also eternal. When God created human beings, He said, “This one will keep Us excited forever. Let’s make and create a being in Our own image. Let’s make one who will not fade away.” Mountains will fade away and rivers will run dry. Streams will evaporate and the oceans will go away. But when God came up with man, He created something that would last forever. He took man out of Himself. God made you spirit and put so much stuff in you that it will take an eter- nal life to live it all. Your true potential requires eternal life to be realized and maximized.
There is no retirement in the Bible. Why? Because God knows you have eternity to go just like He does. God wants you to assist Him in creating and developing and dominating and ruling forever and ever and ever. That’s a long time. The wealth of your potential is so rich it requires an eternal life to bring it out.
We are not going to be in Heaven for a million years bowing down around a throne. God doesn’t have an ego problem. He doesn’t need us to tell Him how nice He is. In fact, He was nice without us. We make Him look pretty bad. We’ve really messed up God. We came out of God. We are the only ones made in His image, and look what we did. God was better off without us. He doesn’t need our praises to make Him feel high.
God has placed enough potential in you to last forever. Try to do as much now as you can. Pack as much as you can into the 70 to 100 years you have here. Go for it. Go for a hunk of gold. Go for the mountain that has the gold in it. Go for the whole thing. Because if you can think it, you can do it. God is the limit of your ability. He won’t allow you to think it if you can’t do it.

BOOK QUOTE: Understanding Your Potential [

At Some Point,
You Have To Let The Pain Go.
It is unhealthy to keep thinking about an ended relationship that you can't do anything about.

At some point, you have to make peace with the past so that it doesn't get in the way of your future. It may hurt right now but, sometimes a breakup can actually be a blessing in disguise.

Sometimes you will lose someone you never thought you would, Just to make room for someone else who can love you with a much greater capacity as they fully restore your hope in being in love.

Sometimes we can be so stuck on looking back at the person who left that, we completely overlook the fact that the room was being made for someone greater to enter our lives.

When you fall in love again, your heart will rejoice like it never has before. When you fall in love again, this time you won't be the only person putting forth the effort to make the relationship work.

When you fall in love again, Your next mate will have you stepping out of your comfort zones by stretching your growth as a person.

When you fall in love again, emotionally you will feel a lot healthier in your spirit and it will just feel right. Yes, that person is still out there.
