Hi,

I lead a youth group in Russia. All the girls really want to get married soon. i'm teaching them about marriage. I don't have a husband. I'd like to hear from you.

Any tips on how to have a good marriage?

Your husband should be your best friend always. Understanding, trust and forgiveness are a must in a good marriage.

I have been married for 8 years and I was a very young bride. He was my first everything and my best friend. We have been through great times and the worst of times but we have a bond that can't be broken and that is Jesus! He somehow brought us together and this is where I am meant to be and where I want to be.

Read and obey the Christian Scriptures and you will not have any problems.

The reason marriages break down is because of one thing and one thing only .. . . . . . ... . ..

pride

That is the truth. :whistling:

I agree...if each is acting humbly in love to the other (which, I admit, is not something most of us can go through our entire lives doing, but do try), there's little room for things to go wrong.

Very wise. ;)

This link has some of the best advice I've ever seen. (The List That Saved My Marriage)

Also, love the Lord more than you love our spouse and love your spouse more than you love yourself. Never expect to give 50/50. Give 100%.

Somehow the young girls I teach think that they will boss their husband around. :o It's tough to get across to them that they'll need to submit.

I have been married for 16 years so I think that qualifies me here. :b:

Our marriage has not always been perfect. When we first married we were not equally yolked. I honestly thought at times it wouldn't work. But I prayed continually for him and within 3 years of marraige he gave his life to the Lord.

My advice: Put God smack dab inthe middle and all will be well.

Don't get mad at your spouse until you have sat down and thought about why they reacted a certain way and why they said what they may have said to make you mad.

Be forgiving

Dont expect them to read your mind

Pray together everyday.

Pray for one another.

Attend worship together.

Don't go to bed angry ;)

Treat your spouse as the head of your house and submit to his authority. (tough one) :huh:

k.

Put God first in your marriage and quit being selfish, that is, stop looking for your husband/wife to please you and think about how you can please him or her. Be willing to give up a lot of self. Sounds hard, but you'll be happier in the long run.

You've been given some good advise here. But, after 36 years of marriage, I believe the best advise that can be given you is to teach the Girls to make sure that GOD is putting the marriage together. In the U.S the divorce rate is as high in the Christian community as it is for the rest of our society and I believe that's because too few couples bother to ask God if they are supposed to marry the one they are interested in. Instead they run to the altar and ask God to bless THEIR choice. When GOD puts a marriage together HE does it right.

    • 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.”

    • 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.
