This is my little family. My husband Mike, Me, and our boys Jackson (3) and Owen (18 mo). We look so happy, right? That's because we just survived our all time low - our rock bottom so to speak. The blessing is that we did survive and are better and stronger for it. Every day we are learning to love more and give more... and oh the patience it takes.
Marriage is God's first institution. Today it is under fire! We need to pray, pray, pray and keep it together - for the sake of the family and the society at large. Broken families reap broken lives and broken hearts. Let's stay together and let God work miracles!
| Proverbs 22:6 "Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it." Let's teach our kids how to love their spouse and keep their marriages strong. |
| giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, | |
| submitting to one another in the fear of God.[fn3] | |
| Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. | |
| For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. | |
| Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything. | |
| Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, | |
| that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, | |
| that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. | |
| So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself. | |
| For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church. | |
| For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones. | |
| "For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh."[fn4] | |
| This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church. | |
| Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband. |
