One Heart Couples Enrichment

I’m that girl who is unashamedly always with her husband.

It’s not because we don’t have other friends.
It’s because we’re truly each other’s BEST friends.

I’ve been tired so many times, and if there’s anything I’ve learned, it’s that my husband (and family) are the ones who are going to be there for me when everyone else walks away.

I’m sure there are people who think, “She can’t do anything without him.”

I can.
I just choose not to.

…and honestly I’m glad I don’t have to. 🤍

BIG SECRETS IN MARRIAGE!

Secret 1
Everyone you marry has a weakness. Only God does not have a weakness. So if you focus on your spouse's weakness you can't get the best out of his strength.

Secret 2
Everyone has a dark history. No one is an angel. When you get married or you want to get married stop digging into someone's past. What matters most is the present life of your partner. Old things have passed away. Forgive and forget. Focus on the present and the future.

Secret 3
Every marriage has its own challenges. Marriage is not a bed of roses. Every good marriage has gone through its own test of blazing fire. True love proves in times of challenges. Fight for your marriage. Make up your mind to stay with your spouse in times of need. Remember the vow For better for worse. In sickness and in health be there.

Secret 4
Every marriage has different levels of success. Don't compare your marriage with any one else. We can never be equal. Some will be far, some behind. To avoid marriage stresses, be patient, work hard and with time your marriage dreams shall come true.

Secret 5
To get married is declaring war. When you get married you must declare war against enemies of marriage. Some enemies of marriage are:
-- Ignorance
-- Prayerlessness
-- Unforgiveness
-- Third party influence
-- Stinginess
-- Stubbornness
-- Lack of love
-- Rudeness
-- Laziness
-- Disrespect
-- Cheating
Be ready to fight to maintain your marriage zone.

Secret 6
There is no perfect marriage. There is no ready made marriage. Marriage is hard work. Volunteer yourself to work daily on it. Marriage is like a car that needs proper maintenance and proper service. If this is not done it will break down somewhere exposing the owner to danger or some unhealthy circumstances. Let us not be careless about our marriages.

Secret 7
God cannot give you a complete person you desire. He gives you the person in the form of raw materials in order for you to mould the person that you desire. This can only be achieved through prayer, love and Patience

Secret 8
Getting married is taking a huge risk. You can not predict what will happen in the future. Situations may change so leave room for adjustments. Husband can lose his good job or you may fail to have babies. All these require you to be prayerful otherwise you might divorce.

Secret 9
Marriage is not a contract. It is permanent. It needs total commitment. Love is the glue that sticks the couple together. Divorce start in the mind and the devil feeds the mind. Never ever entertain thoughts of getting a divorce. Never threaten your spouse with divorce. Choose to remain married. God hates divorce.

Secret 10
Every marriage has a price to pay. Marriage is like a bank account. It is the money that you deposit that you withdraw. If you don't deposit love, peace and care into your marriage, you are not a candidate for a blissful home.

So today let us pray for our marriages. Send to those you care about because you never know who you may be helping.

May God bless you.

MY LOVE TRIANGLE= ME MY HUSBAND AND MY GOD! Don't try it.

Guy: I see you are married.
Me: Yes. (Without saying a word I noticed he was as well)

Guy: I can be that other person you can talk to when he is not around. I'm married so you don't have to worry about me messing up your household.

Me: I already have a man I talk to outside my husband. I don't even have to hide behind or sneak around on my man to talk to him.

Guy: Umm .. you think I can get in that line to talk to you too.

Me: Yes. All 3 of us mind. My husband as well as my God., is a Jealous God. You should try talking to him about your lust issue your and inability to connect with your wife. Goodbye! L*L BABY!

The transparency is respected but it’s like when you look at Will’s face you can see all the pain regarding this is still there. He looks like he wanted to break down and cry. So my question is this.... We you go thru infidelity in a relationship and you decide to stay together and work thru it does the pain ever REALLY go away??? Are there triggers that sometimes bring the hurt back to the surface.
Is there ever a point where you can sit back and discuss what happen and not feel some type of way???

ARE YOU LOVING YOUR SPOUSE CONDITIONALLY??

Sometimes we fall into a negative mindset that keeps us from being our best in relationships. Here's an example: "I’ll treat them better when they start treating me better.” Such an attitude misses out on the power of unconditional love. Unconditional love is the choice to love someone else no matter how they treat you.

If you are married, say to your spouse, “I’ve been thinking about our marriage, and I realize that I have loved you conditionally. When you are kind to me, I tend to be kind to you. When you help me, I help you. I think that love requires more than that. I sincerely want to learn to love you no matter what. I want to make a fresh commitment to our marriage. I am going to ask you to give me one suggestion each week for what I can do to make your life better. Whatever you suggest, I’m going to do my best to do it.”

Get a pencil and paper and write down their suggestion. To the best of your ability, do it. If you do, you will be well on the way toward unconditional love.

Marriage is hard: we’re stubborn

Apologizing is hard work. You know what else is hard? Forgiving an apologizing spouse.

Why? Why should that be hard? Well, for one, it’s easy to suspect that the apology isn’t sincere (“I’m sorry.” “You are not!”). For another, when this isn’t the first argument on a certain misbehavior, the wounded party sees a trend and fears it will continue indefinitely. Am I enabling more of this bad behavior? For another, staying angry gives you emotional leverage. For another, staying wounded gives you the moral high ground in future negotiations. Your injury is an asset--why would you give away this form of capital?

Holding onto anger, however, poisons your soul. It marinates your spirit in toxins that will affect everything else in your life and especially in this most important of all your human relationships. Holding anger blinds you to your spouse’s gifts and values for your life and keeps you from seeing his or her efforts to make things better.

There’s a better way. “Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you” (Colossians 3:13). What breaks you out of these anger ruts is the sweet remembrance of the massive debt of ours that our Lord Jesus forgave. If we show a bitter and unforgiving spirit to our spouse, we are daring God to do the same to us.

Let it go.
