Resolution or Resurrection. . .

In this week's segments and as the year comes to a close, it's important to focus on where your life and marriage is heading. Resolution or Resurrection is the choice that is set before us today.

Typically, we all tend to decide on resolutions for the upcoming year, to of course do better, and possibly change some things. However, it is vital for us who are married to press much further than a resolution, which in many cases aren't adhered to any way.
Resurrection on the other hand carries an authority and a new birth if you will, for the days ahead. Our marriage barometers should be set on a much closer walk with each other. Yes, even more intimate times together and fellowship along with communication.
When the apostle Paul was admonishing the church become familiar with their ministry partners, he wrote: 1 Thessalonians 5:12 And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you.
It's so important to know each other, not outside of, but inside your relationship!
What does that mean? I'm glad you asked!
Knowing your spouse inside your relationship takes the "unknown" out of your relationship. That's right! Did you know that 70% of divorces are due to a lack of communication between the two parties. They really didn't communicate, inside the relationship; subsequently, it left room for doubt, trust, and the fear of "what if".
You see precious readers, longevity is actually based on the quality of your foundation. Listen to this scripture: Luke 6:48 He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.
what is the foundation of your marriage built on? . . .money . . .automobiles. . .houses. . .sex. . prestige. . .pride. Something to really think about eh!
Resurrection means to bring back to life. No doubt you may have had some rough times in 2007, but it does not eliminate the ability to resurrect you marriage relationship. In fact, resurrecting you marriage will teach you new ways to fall in love all over again.
It's time for resurrections not resolutions. . .decide before the year is out, that you're in it for the long haul. . . resurrect your marriage relationship; it's Godly, it's even heavenly, and besides, it's the right thing to do because it's Marriage God's Way! I'm praying that those who will read this message will be inspired to take a firm step to resurrect your marriage relationship.
May God richly Bless you during this holiday season and always remember . . . .
YOU ARE BLESSED!
