A healthy Marriage poem

[bigape]

 

 

Even a man who is pure of heart

    and prays to the Lord above

   Can fall into sin, when temptation burns

    If his wife, doesn’t give him her love.

          (1 Corinthians 7:5)

But why is the wife not giving him her love?That needs to be answered,

Are we at the mercy of our feelings? Does scripture instruct us to love when someone makes us feel good? Or is love a decision to follow God's instruction even when we are wronged?

 

Amen!!

This is exactly what we are told in 1 Peter 2&3......

1 Peter 3:1

“Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives;”  

1 Peter 3:7

“Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.”

Notice, that both instructions to husbands and wives, starts with the word “Likewise”!

This refers to....1 Peter 2:23

“Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:”

When Jesus was “wronged”, He still did the right thing.

Just as in marriage, when we are “wronged”, the Lord tells us to do the right thing, in spite of what the other person may or may not do!

------------------------

This OP has less to do with blaming the wife for the husband’s sin:

And more to do with, WARNING HUSBANDS, that this danger is REAL!

And that regardless of how committed they are to Christ, they are still in grave danger!

(If their wife, isn’t fulfilling her duties!)

If women would stay home “where they are suppose to be”(Titus 2:5), then there would be no women in the workplace, for the disaffectioned husband to be attracted to.  Therefore women are to be blamed in two ways.  But we don’t live in a perfect world!

Therefore wives should do all they can to please their husbands and husbands should do all they can to please their wives and stay true to them.

Ignorance at it's best. Study to show yourselves approved unto God a workman that needeth not be ashamed.

 

Please show me, where I am not “rightly dividing the Word of truth”!

 Oh boy I am not even going to go there.

 

 

Bigape, I am going to go there.  Did you know that women are everywhere?   

 

Yes I did.  

This statement(although very Biblical and correct), was said kind of tongue-in-cheek!

I knew that it would get a reaction out of people, but IT SHOULDN’T, on a Christian site!

Therefore, I added, that we don’t live in a “perfect world”:

But this is something that we should be praying for......

Matthew 6:9-10

V.9 ¶   After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

V.10  Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

This is God’s will for Christian wives!

 

You sure don't know NOTHING about a virtuous woman.

 

Well I do know, that she had a good “work ethic”

and that she sold her homemade cloths etc., in town and she was a wise in the area of business.

But, she was a STAY AT HOME MOM!

So she could be there for her husband when he got home.

Did you go back and brush up quickly. What you are saying here now goes in direct opposition to what you stated earlier which was, "if women would stay home "where they suppose to be" then there would be no women in the workplace. Well don't seem like you could keep a good christian woman out of the workplace.

 

But, she was a STAY AT HOME MOM!

.

That is your own idea and not scripture as it doesn't say that, it certainly is an ideal situation but not possible for all.

What about the married women who have no children your STAY AT HOME "MOM" doesn't apply to them nor proves women are suppose to be at home where they suppose to be.

You want to blame women for causing men to go astray simply because they are in the workplace earning a living. Then you say if women are home like they suppose to be then they would be no women in the workplace to be tempted by. What hogwash what of the single women living in the world who have to work for their living. What about widows who lost their husbands and have to work in the workplace. Or the women who's husbands abandoned them. Just because women are in the workplace a christian man shouldn't be looking and thinking of her in a sexual manner because of marriage problems he should have his mind on his work instead of the gutter. You can expect that from a sinner but not a christian man.

Scripture teaches us that a man needs to know how to possess his own vessel.
