Wise Words For You In Selecting Your Marriage Partner (Part II)

Here Are Other Quotes and Verses That Could Help Us In Selecting Our Mate:

"You are not looking for someone who might be voted "Mate of the Year" by the general public or by your friends.You need to choose someone with personality you can live with and enjoy." -from the Book "Finding The Love Of Your Life "

"But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.”"- 1 Samuel 16:7 

-Although this passage was about the words of the Lord to Samuel when he was to anoint a new king for Israel, we can also consider this verse in choosing a mate for us.Sometimes, we tend to look at the physical appearance of a person only and not really focus on the heart. Yes, physical appearance matters but in choosing a mate, you just don't consider the physical appearance per se...it should be the "whole package"---spiritually, mentally, emotionally, socially..every aspect.

"Charm can mislead and beauty soon fades. The woman to be admired and praised is the woman who lives in the Fear-of-God."-Proverbs 31:30 The Message Translation

"Charm and grace are deceptive, and beauty is vain [because it is not lasting], but a woman who reverently and worshipfully fears the Lord, she shall be praised!" -Proverbs 31:30 Amplified Bible

 

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.
