I believe OotS is referring to room mates not couples living together for extra marital reasons

Even if that is the case, his response really oversimplifies what premarital counseling seeks to accomplish.

When I said it teaches two people to live in close proximity to each other I was speaking of after they were married, not before.  I do not know where you got the idea I was speaking of before marriage.

The part about moving into a dorm together. 

At any rate, you have an incorrect understanding of what premarital counseling is and what it seeks to accomplish. It's not simply about teaching people to live in close proximity with each other.    Married people live TOGETHER, not in close proximity.

Spoken like someone who has never been married.  

The "together" part is easy, it is the close proximity part that takes some getting used to.  Of course it all teaches how to make decisions, finances and how to settle disagreements.  But none of it has to do with Love.

After? Is that why it is called PREmarital?

Yes, PREmarital counseling helps to teach people how to live together AFTER they are married, that is why it is called PREmarital.    Is this confusing for you?

Yes, it's like something out of Alice in Wonderland. LOL

I am sorry to hear that.  Let me see if I can help make it more clear

The purpose of  PREmarital is to help people prior to being married to deal with life after they are married

I think premarital counseling is important. "Till Death Due Us Part" is a very long time. Unfortunately many today ignore those words. A Christian marriage counselor is there to help you prepare for these many years. There are many Pastors who will not marry you unless you have had premarital counseling. I respect the fact that a marriage means enough to this Pastor who is about to join two lives together to require this. The honeymoon phase dies out. There are many,many challenges that the couple must overcome together. First with God in the center of their relationship but then together. The couple must ask....Are we really as compatible as we think we are or are we just blinded but love? Are their other reasons why we are getting married? Are we thinking with our hearts only or also by our brain? There are many questions to consider. It takes a lot of courage to say " I do not think we would make a good lifetime couple" goodbye.

No, you must sit with your hands folded and wait. And while you are at it please eat your broccoli.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
