Skeletons in the closet ?

For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. . . as noted in Galatians 6:3. Why this passage of scripture one might ask. Simply because it deals with the subject matter of today's segment. "Skeletons in the closet".

Skeletons in the closet refers usually to things that we have hidden from our past and sometimes present, that we really don't want others to know about us; and sadly enough, many times we hide these things from even our mates.
As referenced in the above scripture; when we purpose to betray something that we are not, we are in reality deceiving others as well as ourselves.
In a marriage relationship, that's even worse. The basic principles of marriage dictates that we should first display trust, not deception! In our marital experiences, our ability to be "upfront" with each other is the basis of a sound and lasting relationship. Anything short of that, usually ends up in calamity, falsehood , and distrust.
As becoming one in marriage, of course it is most important to establish trust, since we no longer belong to ourselves. . . . . 1 Corinthians 7:4 The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.
As you have seen in the Holy scriptures, the husband as well as the wife have the responsibility of possession. . . . meaning there is no place for skeletons, or secrets from each other. As we are true to ourselves, we must also be true to our spouse.
Even in scripture we are compelled to display honesty:
1 Timothy 2:2 (Whole Chapter) For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
Always remember this, . . . .how you begin a relationship usually dictates it's well being and will always determine it's outcome.
Get rid of those "skeletons in your closets". . . .it just may make the difference in your marriages and develop a whole new heart felt marriage relationship!
Be true to yourself and then, be true to your mate. . . your marriage depends on it!
Now you are Blessed!
