Let's Do Lunch. . .


In today's segment, I have introduced a very cordial phrase, "let's do lunch". It is sort of an invitation for friends to get together while having a bite to eat. Of course you're wondering how this relates to marriage! Well, here's how.

Are you really friends with your mate? Do you really know your mate? Have you taken the time outside of your intimacy to really get to know who you are married to?

In Luke 14:28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?
In recent polls about marriage divorces, most counselors are amazed at the percentages of couples that knew very little about each other. Now that's astonishing to me.
Are we living in a society so blindly that we no longer consider the basic fundamentals of a marriage relationship? Nevertheless, it is vital to our marriage to sit down, take the time to get to really know your mate. It's like the above scripture says: it's like counting up the cost!

Knowing the individual that you are in hopes of spending the rest of your life with, certainly is worth taking time out for; don't you think?
It is in this fast pace society that we live in, that even dictates the way we deal with marriages. Well, sorry to disappoint you, but it's not God's Way! Even Christ, in the Holy scriptures says at least: Matthew 11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
You see, problems are not resolved in our marriages simply the two are not compatible, they are not resolved because the two never took the time to: if you will, " do lunch"!

Knowing you mate is the number one prerequisite for a successful and long-lasting marriage; so before you unjustifiably determine that your marriage isn't going to work, go to your spouse and say: " let's do lunch". . . . and if you really love each other, it'll make a world of difference!
Today I'm thanking God, that you are Blessed!
