For Better For Worse For Richer or Poorer In Sickness & Health Till Death Do Us Part
For Better For Worse For Richer or Poorer In Sickness Health Till Death Do Us Part Author:Sylvia Johnson Before You Choose Your Next Path. Evaluate Before You Separate! — Every since I can remember. I have grown up with the idea that marriage wat the epitome of life itself. That it was and still is the most wonderful experience that any human being will encounter. I believed in the theory of "till death do we part", and the idea that "marriage i... more »s forever", unless one of the parties died, or a persons life was in jeopardy. Jeez! Was I wrong?
The love me and leave me syndrome seems to plague many households today. After those sacred words have been spoken before GOD and man, many couples do not live up to what GOD has designed for the marriage. Couples are still dangling with selfishness and other things that are identified with being single. It is supposed to be one of the most selfless acts that any one could ever do or have done.
Once all the glamour has faded, the marriage begins. A man and woman builds their home based on their frames of references, socioeconomic backgrounds, family upbringing, social backgrounds, and many other things that work to shape us into being the mature adults that we have become. No matter what your differences, as long as you have the same basic values, you can work out the differences.
I cannot fathom the idea of being married to someone that I vow my love to before GOD and witnesses, only for the sake of saying "I'se a married woman or I'se a married man. Marriage should be thought of seriously, and not taken for granted. It is an institution designed by GOD.
This is a 6-week course (if done on a weekly basis) designed to help couples to become aware of the many snares of the enemy relating to marriage. This work book can be used individually or within a guided session by a Pastor or Counselor. Take advantage of the opportunity to look at marriage from another perspective, before you take the Leap of Faith, or if you have already leaped, look at communication from another level. This workbook is designed for each party to work independently on the same section at the same time, then coming together to compare notes, giving each one the opportunity to express themselves, and to view what the other party has written about them, especially since most of use "think more highly of ourselves than we ought to."
After reading this book and going through the various sessions:
(1) Your level of communication in your relationships will be greatly enhanced.
(2) You will experience a heightened sanctity in your relationships.
(3) It will cause you to do some deep soul searching.
(4) It will enhance your ability to accept people for who and what they are and value their uniqueness.
(5) It pushes you to a level of honesty with your mate while defining your perception of the relationship.
(6) It takes you to places within you dared not trot before. It sooths and carresses your soul in a supernatural phenomenon.
