Wise Words For You In Selecting Your Marriage Partner



‎"Don't let anyone select your marriage partner for you, and dont allow yourself to select a lifetime mate in order to satisfy someone else.This is your marriage, your once-in-a lifetime opportunity"

-from the Book Finding The Love Of Your Life

(note: the word "anyone" here talks about humans, ok? The author of that book is a Christian and of course, in finding the love of our lives, he encouraged  that we don't exclude God in that issue (and i agree to that and God should be the center of every issue in our lives including marriage.)

God's Concept Of Marriage



Mark 10:9 

 

Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.”

(New International Version 1984, ©1984)

 

 

Let no one split apart what God has joined together.

(New Living Translation)

  


What therefore God has united (joined together), let not man separate or divide.

(Amplified Bible)

   


God has joined the two together, so no one should separate them.

(New Century Version)

"This Could Be Love & I Will Be Here"



Thinking of Wedding Songs? If you have talent in song writing, why not write a song for your wedding or while you're courting. That would be so sweet. If my future husband would write a song for me or just even write a poem for me, i would consider that as a treasure and that would give me "kilig -to-the bones" feelings:).

Steven Curtis Chapman, songwriter and singer wrote these two songs "This Could Be Love" And "I Will Be Here ." 

Steven wrote "I Will Be Here" for  his wife and that is so sweet....that's my most favorite love song. Every time i hear that song, it touches my heart and my prayer is, i hope that would also be the song and promise of my future husband to me:) and that's also my prayer for you and your future spouse.This song is very inspiring and i really believe it is great for wedding and it could be your marriage  theme song .

And here's a bonus for you..."This Could Be Love"- Steven's first love song...this song, on the other hand, is good when you're still dating or courting. I researched from youtube.com and these two songs are in one video but before you click  that video which i posted below,  read first the lyrics of these songs.



THIS COULD BE LOVE 


Last night at the football game
I held your hand for the very first time.
I felt something I couldn't explain,
Now I can't get you out of my mind.
           
Since I woke up this mornin',
my knees are shakin' 
And my head is spinnin' too,
Oh this could be love,        
or this could be the flu.


Chorus:

This could be love baby,
or this could be the flu.
I guess  this knot in my stomach could mean that I really like you    
I can almost feel my temperature risin' again, 
I can't tell you what I'm goin' through.
               
This could be love,
or this could be a very bad case...of influenza
This could be love or this could be the flu 
but if it's the flu,    
I hope I didn't give it to you



I WILL BE HERE

Tomorrow morning if you wake up
And the sun does not appear,
I will be here.

If in the dark we lose sight of love,

Hold my hand and have no fear,
Cause I will be here.

CHORUS

I will be here when you feel like being quiet;
When you need to speak your mind, I will listen.
And I will be here when the laughter turns to crying;
Through the winning, losing, and trying, we'll be together,
Cause I will be here.

Tomorrow morning if you wake up

And the future is unclear,
I will be here.

As sure as seasons are made for change,

Our lifetimes are made for years,
So I will be here.

CHORUS

I will be here, and you can cry on my shoulder;
When the mirror tells us we're older, I will hold you.
And I will be here to watch you grow in beauty,
And tell you all the things you are to me;
I will be here.

I will be true to the promise I have made,

To you and to the One who gave you to me.

Things I've Learned Regarding "Pre-Wedding" Based from Genesis 2:18-25 (Part 2)

It's been a long time since i haven't posted here on this blog site. I've been focusing on my first blog site but I'm back .

I've shared the part 1 of the things i've learned regarding pre-wedding from Genesis 2:18-25 last time and here's the part 2.


"Adam Was Given A Job First Before He Was Given A Wife" (Genesis 2:15-25)

I got this thought from the sermon yesterday of our Pastor in our Sunday  Church  Service and i thought of adding it here. I like that thought. God is so wise that before Eve was given to Adam, God gave Adam work first. In application to our lives, think about it, you're asking to have a wife or a husband but u don't have work yet, how are u going to support your family? Be practical. 


God Will Make Sure That You And I Will Be Delighted In The Husband /Wife He Would Give (Genesis 2:23)

In that verse, we could see that Adam was loved at first sight with Eve. He was delighted when God presented Eve to him. That scene i believe was so exciting not only to God but especially to Adam and Eve. Adam was so used in seeing different animals and for him, no suitable partner was found from those species but when he saw Eve, At last! she is the one! I love how The Message Translation wrote it: "The Man said, "Finally! Bone of my bone,  flesh of my flesh!".Note the word "finally."

I remember what my other sister told me. Her connect group leader prayed for her like this: "Lord, give her a godly and goodlooking husband." And he explained to her why he prayed for her like that. He said, "Because, if our partner in life is only godly but ugly, its not delightful, isn't it?" So everytime our Area Pastor visits me and my sister and prays for a "godly husband" for us, we always add to his prayer, "and goodlooking husband , Lord."....hahaha.


Enjoy Your Time With God And God's Creation In The Time Of Waiting, Don't Complain About Your Singleness (Genesis 2:19)

Adam saw different kinds of animals with their mates but he didn't complain to God and said, "Lord, why is it that every animal has it's partner but i don't have?" But  he enjoyed what he was seeing and he even named them one by one. And I've noticed in that verse that God gave him freedom to name every animal God was bringing to him. Adam enjoyed his time with God and God's creation in the time of waiting.

I like this quote from the book True Love Weds (you can read my book review of it by clicking this). It says there, "Waiting is painful, heartbreaking, agonizing, excruciating, unbearable. yet it is all worth it! It's God's way of teaching us many, many things."

Yes, there is truth in it but instead of waiting in pain, heartbreak and agony, why not enjoy your time with God and his creation in the time of waiting? After all, girls, "man does not complete you or even for guys, "a girl" can't complete you. God completes you. " As one saying goes, "There is a God-shaped vacuum in the heart of every man which cannot be filled by any created thing, but only by God, the Creator, made known through Jesus."
