How to Have a Blessed and Successful Marriage

[SuperCHERISHED]

I am so thankful for this outstanding message!

Very good. Marriage is truly one of the most amazing but one the hardest relationships you'll ever have. Safeguard your marriage by calling on Christ to help you ('cause you'll NEED it). Best wishes and hang in there - God honors those who do not give up! ;-D

[IsDaMicOn78]

I just sat through the entire video, as I am going through some tough trials in my marriage, and this message was cleared, it has help me to understand a role that I already know. Marriage takes work and alot of it. My husband is a minister, and I am a born again Christian, we both know what we are to do to have a blessed marriage, but we have allowed Satan to come between because we believe that Satan knows if we ever come together, we would be a team to be reckkon with in serving God.

Prove he's not!

[piemakesmelol]

That speaker is clearly gay, shouldn't you people be all pissed off or something?

@piemakesmelol

[sashkagorelkin]

@piemakesmelol are you retarded????? you must be...go get checked out. by a Physician

[piemakesmelol]

@sashkagorelkin- Perhaps you should learn how to write a cohesive sentence before engaging a conversation with me, anyhow, yes this speaker is CLEARLY gay. His tone of voice, his mannerisms..it all screams homosexual. I don't care if someone's gay or not, it;s not a problem to me, but considering you Christians are all bigoted I'm surprised you're so candid towards a gay speaker. Or a closet gay at least. Still, most Christians are in the closet.

[Spaghettifyd]

@piemakesmelol I don't know what you've been told about Christian belief, but Catholic teaching is that homosexual orientation in itself is not a sin. However, ACTING on it is mortally sinful. People with same sex attraction can get to heaven if they live chastely; they are not to be hated simply for being gay. Sexual gratification is not a right, it's a gift for the creation of life. To oppose something is not bigoted; everything can't simply be justified in the name of "individuality."

[piemakesmelol]

@Spaghettifyd- But the act of sex between two males or females, ISN'T wrong. They are both two consenting adults who agree to have sex with one another, the act doesn't harm anyone else in the slightest, the only thing saying it's wrong is God...and he's a fictional character so who gives a fuck what he thinks? Sexual gratification is neither a gift nor a right. We're human, we have sexual desires. If we achieve them, who cares, if we don't, who cares. No-one should force others not to have sex.

[Spaghettifyd]

@piemakesmelol The flaw in your logic is that if you claim not to believe in God, then you claim there is no absolute truth, in which case you cannot declare anything to be right or wrong. And it actually is harmful for two consenting adults to have sex outside of marriage because they are mutually exploiting each other and risking instability for their future children. It also trains them to see the people around them as objects and not as the thinking, feeling human beings they are.

[piemakesmelol]

@Spaghettifyd- Wrong, I believe MORALITY is completely subjective. How we perceive right and wrong is a personal thing, but I can still declare things as wrong which I perceive to be wrong, just as you can. My point is that we can't define exactly what right or wrong is, because it's different for everyone. And no, sex outside of marriage is in NO WAY harmless to anyone. Marriage is pointless, what does it do for a couple? PROVE that they love each other? Sex is an act, doesn't hurt anyone.

[Spaghettifyd]

@piemakesmelol We humans cannot dictate what is morally right and wrong any more than we can dictate the laws of physics. Yes, we must be able to think independently and rationally, but for the purpose of DISCOVERING the naturally existing laws of morality, just as a scientist needs to be able to think independently and rationally to discover the naturally existing laws of science. There are real reasons for these rules. God doesn’t just sit around thinking of ways to ruin our fun.

[piemakesmelol]

@Spaghettifyd- But the problem with that statement is you assume there IS a clear set of rules within morality over what is right and what is wrong. But that's rubbish for multiple reasons, there's no such thing as right and wrong. Everything is subjective and relative to a situation, take abortion for example, as a Catholic you'd probably be against abortion, but what about if a woman is raped? Or if the birth would result in the deaths of both the child and mother?

[lexi1bree]

@piemakesmelol First of all, it is extremely rare for both the baby and mother to die. That is just a loop hole for people to justify abortion. A good doctor does all he can to save both until the end. Secondly, if someone is raped, why would you kill an innocent baby? How do you justify that? If you couldn't live with the fact that it was conceived by rape, you could always give it up for adoption.

[piemakesmelol]

@lexi1bree- It's not extremley rare at all, it happens a lot actually! And are you saying that in such a situation the mother and child should both die because "God doesn't like it". You don't seem to grasp the concept of abortion, you're not killing anyone...there is no baby there to kill, it is an organism that hasn't matured into a sentient being yet. I couldn't care less what you think because you're a Christian. Therefore everything you say is most likely going to be bullshit.

[lexi1bree]

@piemakesmelol You ARE killing a baby. You have been fooled. I'm sorry you don't understand. God loves you and sent his son Jesus to die for your sins. It is a free gift to you so you can spend eternity in heaven when you die and not hell. This is my final post to you.

[piemakesmelol]

@lexi1bree- Jesus died for nothing. Explain to me this, why would would God need to murder his only son (who is also him) in order to forgive humanity? Surely God simply could have forgiven humanity without giving them a ridiculous ultimatum and revealed himself to the world as an all powerful God? But no, that's too simple for God right? Don't talk to me, I don't like conversing with the mentally handicapped.

[piemakesmelol]

@Spaghettifyd- (continued) You claim that sex without marriage makes kids think of others as objects? Rubbish, how many examples can you show me of this being the case? All it shows is that two people care for each other and agree to have sex, that's it, nothing more or less. Christianity on the other hand, specifically states that men OWN women and that they are in charge of everything they do. So, you're in no position to claim non-Christianity promotes sexism or objectification.

[Spaghettifyd]

@piemakesmelol Christianity has never taught that men own women, or at least Catholicism hasn't. It teaches that men and women are different, but equal. Sex is the act of 2 people totally giving themselves to each other. If they do not commit before doing it, how can they not feel that the other is disposable? When sex is the primary objective in a relationship, people don't look to a potential partner thinking, "Wow, I wonder what __ likes to do on weekends." They think of other things...

[piemakesmelol]

@Spaghettifyd- Who says it has to be the central part of the relationship? If you want to commit to someone, then you do it. No two ways about it, you don't need to prove it through unnecessary means like marriage to prove you're in it for the long haul. Also, some people aren't in it for a long relationship and are only after a short-term thing for fun. That's not a bad thing, so long as that's understood by both parties. Marriage is redundant.

[Spaghettifyd]

@piemakesmelol I find it ironic that you consider it bigoted to oppose homosexuality, yet you use "gay" as an insult.

[piemakesmelol]

@Spaghettifyd- No I didn't, I said this speaker is clearly gay, I didn't say it as an insult. Was just pointing out the obvious. The speaker is definitely gay, anyone with half a brain could see that. So...maybe not you then.

My marriage desire: Cook, Clean, Affection from a woman that take care of themselves who is NOT demanding, controlling and prudish.

[HighMindedLunacy]

Most every Chrsitian I know has been divorced. Even my "devout" Christian friends (who had been married 20-25 years) who looked down on their noses at other who divorced-when THEY came to a point they wanted a divorce suddenly they changed their minds and started talking about God's "grace" (even though they did not have biblical grounds for divorce) Funny how you can justify something when you want it but look down on others for teh same thing.

[7801Croc]

@HighMindedLunacy "Most every Chrsitian I know has been divorced. " Do you know how to identify and discern who is and who is not a Christian according to how Scripture defines who is & who is not? Consider Matthew 7 where Jesus, the Lord Himself, tell us that many profess His name, but few enter His Kingdom...verses 7:13-14 of Matthew. In the OT there is always a small remnant who are saved. So before you can make any statement; you must identify who is and who is not a Christian-good luck!

[AngelDJehova]

in this time ? you are false teacher THE ALMIGHTY GOD have mercy on you mr. false doctrine.

[zuleyka232000]

@AngelDJehova

Sorry but he is telling the Truth before judging go to Ephesians 5. God Bless

[Oldcartoons571]

@JXJ1326 So are you saying that if he said it face to face he would get his ass kicked? Im sure thats what "jesus" would do tough guy

[kewa123]

@JXJ1326 Dont get too aggressive here sir. I never insulted christianity or the people, i just played a little joke, calm down mister.

Is this why 50% of Christian marriages end in divorce? Some marriage.

Joel Osteen says the "Mule Joke" better....I like Greg and Joel both SO LEAVE ME ALONE!

[guadalupemex]

I watched the whole video and I can honestly say, that he knows what he is talking about.The Bible is not a racist or sexist nor contradictory book. You need to read more.

[roarkachu]

i'm glad i can drown out the whole hour of this in vuvuzela

[imamazing54]

@kewa123 What does that mean =P I didn't mean anything out of what i said. I meant that It takes 3 people not 2 for a marriage to work. There is no need to go to a counseller for advice. Because God is our Counseller. You go to the Word for counselling. Not the World.

[pavelonline7]

@imamazing54

My friend, of course God is the Best Counselor and coming to Him is the best thing to do in any trouble!

The only thing is that often in marriage problems you can't hear and see him clearly, your mind and spirit maybe blurred by emotions, feelings and stuff...

Finding good Christian counselor might be a good idea, especially when wife and husband see themself as having a point in disagreements.

Well, this is just how I feel.

[piemakesmelol]

@pavelonline7- Prove that God is real then.

[myjizzureye]

How many of you people ODed on fake tan tonight, i can see at least one.

[captain3xtreme]

@LaChicaMasTerca The bible has many different morals in it, both appalling by today's standards and acceptable, if you are going to pick and choose morals out of the bible and claim that they help you that is bs by what morals are you choosing these morals to follow, obviously you must already have an independent set of morals that come from society. I really don't need to watch the entire video to know that he is just going to read a bunch of verses and infer modern advice onto them.

[icanutoo]

A 2000+ year old book offers more knowledge and wisdom if read compared to shelving it, trashing it , or putting it to flame. Last time I looked, every person and nation is covered by Christ's saving grace, even the antichrist if it repented and believed in him. It's an inclusive book :).

Really am encouraged to be a better husband. Thank you!

[captain3xtreme]

I haven't even watched the full video but i guarantee you could help you're marriage 10x more if you went to marriage counseling rather than reading a contradictory, racist and sexist 2000 year old book

It Takes 3 For a Marriage to work. Husband. Wife. And God.
