Marriage

I am adding another book to my library and to this site … it is one of two books that promises to make an incredible difference in the life of your marriage. The other book isn’t at CBD but I will still list it directly from the author’s site. These two books, unfortunately, will not help you in ‘re-creating’ your husbands. There will be no instructions on how to make him obey your requests. However, I have it on good report that the marriage you always dreamed of may be yours … in fact, I have heard you can actually have a marriage beyond your highest expectation.

112601: Created to Be His Help Meet: Discover How God Can Make Your Marriage Glorious

Created to Be His Help Meet: Discover How God Can Make Your Marriage Glorious

By Debi Pearl

Created to be His Help Meet mentors women on how to have a heavenly marriage. The author makes the argument that men and women were created by God to play different roles in society. A woman acting like a man creates a unisex society, which is a senseless society. Each chapter provides instruction, examples, letters from women, and concludes with a “Time To Consider” section. Paperback.From the author: “… I had no idea God had so much to say to us ladies until I began going through God’s Word verse by verse, writing the different sections of Created to be His Help Meet. Many times as I read a passage, I would say to my husband, “I’m not going to include those verses in my book because if I do the ladies (of any religious group you can think of including my own) will not like my book or promote it.” My dear husband would say to me, “If God thought it was important enough to inspire it as part of his Word to us, then you should include it.” And so I would cringe and add one more controversial subject after another…”

There is so much debate and talk on Marriage, Divorce and Remarriage …  I thought about recommending a book and then I decided that if you are questioning this subject or have pre-conceived ideas or thoughts on it then you could go here to CBD’s page on the subject. You’ll see that there is over 65 books (just click the purple highlighted letters) written by Bible teachers and scholars … wow!

However the true source is Jesus from the The Book and it says:

Matthew 19:7-9 (New International Version)

7″Why then,” they asked, “did Moses command that a man give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away?”

8Jesus replied, “Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning. 9I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, and marries another woman commits adultery.”

Marriage is a Marvelous thing — yes indeed!

However, it takes a lot of work. I have some notes over at Road to Abundance I’d love for you to read but also, just know, your marriage can be beautiful. If you didn’t get it right yesterday, even had trouble today, decide NOW that Tomorrow will be your day for a fresh start … a new beginning and start on the Road to a Marvelous Marriage … I believe in you.

Marriage is Beautiful … With our Jessi getting married this summer, marriage and its ins & outs and ups & downs has been on my heart quite a bit. It’s heavy stuff. It’s vibrant stuff. It’s the stuff beautiful dreams are made of …

Marriage – To Have and To Hold … from this day forward … unto when? Forever! Until Death parts us … That seems a little overwhelming! How can anyone do that? Wow, and we’re at over 30 years of day in and day out … marriage!

Don’t worry – it gets better – read more on my note on Marriage!
