We’ve been married for 34 years. Our first 23 years were very difficult. There were many things I wish I had been taught that I know now. Here is a list of things that newlyweds should be taught .
Lori Alexander has been married for 33 years. She has four grown children who walk in Truth and two precious grandchildren. All of her children are happily married to godly spouses. She loves teaching women to be sober, to love their husbands and children, to be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, and obedient to their husbands as the Bible instructs her to do. Always Learning is a personal teaching blog sharing what she has seen work from God's Word in her life and the lives of many others. "A wise man will hear, and will increase in learning..."{Proverbs 1:5}.
One thing I think should have been on your Wisdom for Newlyweds. Don’t marry for “Love”. To tell you the truth I never once thought of “being in love” I just knew that no matter how he did things I would be willing to pick up his dirty socks and dirty clothes for the rest of my life if that was what was needed. We will be married 34 years July 8th which is the day that we became Betrothed to each other. Being a Messianic Jew that date is more important to us because there would not have been any way for us to meet if GOD had not brought us together. Things that happened to us all through our life and what happened when we were in the military before we met. I can see God causing things that I could not understand why the things happened when they happened and some of those things happened. They were meant to happen because God had to bring us together.
Do I love my husband now? YES completely and totally yes. From the day we met I can see that we loved each other from the first time we saw each other.
I understand what are saying, Jackie, but I am commanded by God in Titus 2 to teach women to “love their husband.” I can tell by your comment that you know that love isn’t a feeling but it is a choice and a commitment as you and your husband have shown. If marriage is based upon feelings, it is bound to fail since feelings come and go, but if it is based on a commitment to love through good times and bad times, it will succeed. Yes, God has blessed you with a wonderful marriage! Blessings to you.
These are great tips for newlyweds and those of us who have been married for years! Thanks for sharing these tips at the This Is How We Roll Link party! See you on Thursday!
Perfect marriages do not exist. The relationship is a continuous compromise, but love allows happiness to the other person. I belive that love could last forever with good relationship.
