Save Homes

I reminisce about all those relationships that I knew back then in religious environments. The Fiancé and Fiancée syndrome (we didn't have anything like dating, going-out, hanging-around, messing-about etc) while in School Fellowships, Churches etc.

Most of these relationships ended in marriages.

Mostly, one or both people in the relationship must have prayed and heard God say, Yes, go ahead!

Sadly, years after, most of these marriages have hit the rocks.

Why?

We need more that 'God said' to maintain a marriage.

We need total mutual obedience to the Words of God.

We need need undiluted, sincere love.

We need understanding of each other.

We need maturity to apply wisdom rightly.

We need these mutual values and beliefs.

When each Spouse face their world, out of home and Religious settings (comfort zones), there will be influences and challenges....challenges that will question the depth of your strength and beliefs.

Only the total knowledge and obedience to the Word of God will sustain you and then, your Home.

Why does it have to be mutual?

Imagine a Couple, rowing their boat in the middle of the sea. One rows to the front, the other rows to the back. Where are they going? Nowhere!

God gives 2 options?

Call God for help, or

Get out of a sinking boat.

It is pathetic to know that, the Homes that should give God's ensamples of Godly Homes, have crumbled where we shouldn't have!

It is never too late to make amends. At least repair your own self! And find your own peer next time.

Enough of forcing the scriptures down people's throats. Enough of overshadowing people's personal traits with scriptures and calling it faith. 

The traits and behaviors you experienced while 'courting' are the same that you will experience if/when married. Stop using the scriptures to deceive 'yasef'.

Now, every time I post serious thoughts like this, some Readers make calls to ask, 'who is he talking to?'

I'll answer it right here, I'm talking to You and Myself!

Let us all save Homes.

Let us all save children from the abuse of destabilization.

If you have defects, please don't pass it on! -
