Imitate God, therefore, in everything you do, because you are his dear children. Live a life filled with love, following the example of Christ. He loved us and offered himself as a sacrifice for us, a pleasing aroma to God. (Ephesian 5 vs 1-2) In the context of marriage, if we don’t feel loved, our […]
Don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you only fooling yourselves…….if you look carefully into the perfect law that sets you free, and if you do what it says and don’t forget what you heard, then God will bless you for doing it. (James 1:22-25) Improving a marriage is […]
A gentle answer deflects anger, but harsh words make temper flare. (Proverbs 15: 1) Distorted anger can destroy your marriage. Distorted anger is the emotion you feel when you don’t get your way. It is sometimes called selfish anger, because its root is in you rather than in any external circumstance. Legitimate anger is your […]

In His grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well (Romans 12:6) In my counselling office, I always hear of personality clashes within marriage that result in disharmony. By personality, I mean our patterned way of responding to life. We speak of people being extraverted or introverted, neat or sloppy, pessimistic […]
Wherever you go, I will go; wherever you live, I will live. Your people will be my people, and your God will be my God. Wherever you die, I will die, and there I will be buried. (Ruth 1: 16-17) Is marriage a contract or a covenant? It’s both but the emphasis is on covenant. […]
The commandments of the Lord are right, bringing joy to the heart. The commandments of the Lord are clear, giving insight for living.
