Last week I touched on God's Ideal of Marriage and learned quite a good bit.
For this reason a man and woman will leave
his father and mother and be united to his
wife, and they will be one flesh.
Genesis 2:24
Throughout my reading I learned these things:
- I shall submit myself to my husband; I should give him my ALL . I shall respect my husband at all times.
- Marriage is something that should be honored my everyone; it is WAY more than just a piece of paper; it goes deeper. The marriage should be kept pure at all times; never should anyone stray outside of those bonds. They are sacred. God will judge the adulter.
- If my husband does not fully believe in the word of God, it is my responsibility to show him the way by my actions and my mind set.
- Beauty is not physical which it should not be; you should not love someone because of their looks; you should look DEEP inside a person to find the "REAL" beauty.
- Even though I submit myself to my husband he should still be considerate and respect me just the way I respect him.
