Sex and childbearing outside of wedlock is the wicked way. Those that reject this teaching lack humility because think that they know better than God. But children are a blessing to our lives when we have them within the will and plan of God.

A woman building up her house has nothing to do with brick and mortar; it has to do with a woman giving herself to cement the relationship between herself and her husband. Michal, the King’s daughter, served her husband David instead of King Saul. Jesus Christ, the King’s Son, also took on the demeanor of a servant.

Not only is a gentle and quiet spirit precious in the sight of God, but a gentle and quiet spirit makes a husband love his wife. In the wedding vows, the vow to love, honor and cherish comes before the vow of fidelity. The avoidance of arguing and strife is that which love, honoring and cherishing is all about.

If anyone in your life is more emotionally important to you than your spouse, the two of you are not "one". Two people can marry, share a domicile and even share a bed, but if someone is emotionally closer to one of them than their spouse, it is intuitively obvious that the two cannot be “one”.

Choose to marry a mature person with whom you share a value system, and the two of you should not have “conflict” with one another. The idea of marriage is not to learn to fight well; the idea is to choose someone with whom a fight will be unnecessary.

We must continually preach repentance, hear about repentance and actually repent because that it is so easy for us to allow our sins to beset us, so easy for us to become defensive about the evil that we may do, and so easy to decide us to call wrong right.

God wants our relationship with Him to be intact whether or not we keep the letter of His law. As a matter of fact, God recognizes our sinfulness and has made provision for our sins, even before we commit them.

Neither education, nor riches, nor fame will equip us for heaven, but we will only be equipped for heaven if we have the ability to act lovingly, especially in our primary human relationship, which is, marriage.
