Nag. . .Nag. . .Nag . .


Well, I'm sure into today's segment you've heard this expression many times. That's right, I am referring to "the nagger". Be it male or female, nagging is sometimes very common in marriage households today.
Let's see what the word of God has to say about that: Proverbs 21:9 It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house.
Even though nagging is common among women, their are cases of male naggers as well. The point here however is, that nagging is a form of a complaint that rarely ever resolves or affects a solution to a situation. In fact, it detrimental to your marriage, and has a reverse affect on your "oneness".

Psalm 133:1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity. . . .Yes, UNITY. . . .it is the common ground for marriages. It is the oneness that God ordains in your marriage relationship. Although oneness still doesn't mean sameness, the ability to conquer problems, complaints, and issues that develop in your relationship, and to persevere through it, is the oneness and the unity necessary for your relationship to survive. Two horses, pulling one cart; if they each pull in a different direction, what will the outcome be?
If two individuals in a marriage vying for the same position, what will the end result be; that's called conflict. No progress will ever be accomplished. One nagging, the other angry because of the nagging, brings about discord. Did you know that sowing discord is one of the things that the Lord hates? Proverbs 6:16: These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
17A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
18An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
19A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
Wow . . . .image, if just in general despises those things in an individual, what about your marriages, that thing that God has ordained.
The message: Don't nag, come together, try to reason among one another. It's better, it's safer, and most of all, it's God's way.
Be thou Blessed today!
