What's mine is mine?


Contrary to popular belief, many marriages try to function on principles that are unfounded; or better still, not according to God's laws.
More so than not, a man or woman through Pride will say, no one can tell me how to live my life or how to spend my money etc. However, the scriptures tell us something completely different. In the book of Romans, chapter 13, Paul the apostle reveals to us that all men should be subject to the higher powers, and those powers come from God. Why is that so important you might say. Well, just like our laws on earth we are subject to, the same it is with the laws of God. In fact, the scripture goes on to say if we resist the law of God, we invite damnation into our destiny.

Here's the message: In the marriage function: What's yours is hers, what's hers is yours, you belong to her , she belongs to you. . .get the picture? ICorinthians 7th chapter, tells us that even our bodies belong to each other. Why wouldn't everything else then belong to each other. Remember this. MARRIAGE IS NOT A BUSINESS!. it is the joining of two becoming one in the site of God and man; thus falling under the laws and guidelines of God.

It's amazing how so many marriages could be so much more fulfilling, if we only followed these simple principles.

Nothing should be separate when it comes to your marriage. Separate vacations , separate bank accounts, and on and on as though you were two total strangers.

I'm sure by now you're saying this is none of my business. YOU'RE RIGHT! .....but it is God's business. Take this tip: If you ever want to know if what you're doing is right or wrong, there are two sure ways to find out. #1. see if it corresponds with God's Word. and #2. look at the results of it.
Take a second look at your marriage. Is it filled with warmth and love unconditional? Or are you too busy separating "what's mine"? Now, take another look . . . . .you'll never be the same!
