Never a dull moment. . . .

The topic of our subject today deals with balancing your marriage. As the header of this blog says: "never a dull moment"; and it should always be that way in your marriages.

Now if you think that because I am an evangelist-preacher, that I sit around all day and read the Bible and pray, you are sadly mistaken.

That's only for those hypocrites who try and hide behind the church while they do their dirt behind closed doors. Sorry, that's not me.

In fact, as I have learned from the Lord, that you need a little spice in your life, that's right, your marriage will turn to mud if you don't have a little fun!

In the book of Ecclesiastes, it reads: There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his labour. This also I saw, that it was from the hand of God. Ecclesiastes 2:24. So you see, even God expects you to enjoy life, especially in marriage.

Too often marriages are run down, dry with no life; only because we have failed to mix a little enjoyment along with the serious stuff.

It's a fact! As individuals as well as marriages, we must create a balance in your life. All work and no play is just as detrimental as all play and nothing taken seriously. Listen to the scriptures: Ecclesiastes 22For what hath man of all his labour, and of the vexation of his heart, wherein he hath laboured under the sun?
23For all his days are sorrows, and his travail grief; yea, his heart takes not rest in the night. This is also vanity.

As you can see, living life day by day is challenge enough. When you have taken on a partner to face these challenges, it becomes even more difficult and many times stressful, so how do we balance our lives and marriages? It's so simple, Have some fun!, Ecclesiastes 3:13 And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God. (FOOTNOTE: )Please don't misunderstand what the Word is saying here: God is not talking about going out and boosing it up)(smiles)

So what are you waiting for. . . .grab your partner by the hand, give out a big smile and say: "come on honey, let's take a chill pill", tonight, it's just you and I. (Now remember, if you have children, (FIND A BABYSITTER), and have a little fun. . . .TOGETHER!! You may even want to have sex. It's not perverse, it's part of being married, and a good part I might add.

The message: Your marriages' rise or fall will depend on how well you both are able to balance out your relationship through the wisdom and understanding that is given to us by God. Yes, marriage is serious in God's eyesight, but it's still not a prison. You must learn the difference. Now, I have put this scripture in this blog twice, so that you will understand that Marriage God's way includes: taking a break from the hardships and challenges of life, to just have a little fun!

Ecclesiastes 3:13 And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God. Be sure not to forget that!

Permit me to close with this: MARRIAGE WITH NO PLAY WILL SURELY DRIVE YOU BOTH AWAY. . . if you believe it, that's good, but if you receive it . . . .then. . . . . .

You are Blessed!
