My wife's brother Jim and sister in law Rachael Ray celebrated their 50th year of marriage today. Allot of family as well as friends from time past helped in the celebration.
In today's world husbands and wives don't stay together like the generations past. I know for a fact there were times when either one or both were ready to leave, separate or maybe divorce but each were fighter's for the institution of marriage. Each took those oaths to each other as well to God very seriously.
They loved each other and as God gave them children and later grandchildren and now great-grand children they both look back with smiles and think " it had it's rough spots but seeing these kids makes for a soothing gel".
We have to stand up (on our knees) using the power of the Holy Spirit and fight. We have to fight to keep our marriages tact. We have to fight with the Whole Armour of God to keep our sin nature at bay. Don't let pride and anger guide you. Don't let lust lead you to the breast of adultery.
FIGHT LIKE HELL !! The author of hell is the author Adultery.
God Almighty, Protector of Your Children, Please forgive us of our weakness. Please empower us with your Holy Spirit, wrap your shield of protection around our marriages. The family you set up. The family you desire. The family you ordained. Father we need your Holy Spirit to give us wisdom, power and grace to keep our family as you desire it. In Christ Loving Name, Amen
