Marriages of Magnificence



I have offiated at hundreds of marriages during my tenure as a pastor. Couples who share a common faith, who pray and read the Bible together have a great advantage for fulfillment. Financial responsibility and sexual fulfillment top the list of marital tensions. The Scriptures clearly address those isssues. Biblical principles give us insights on how to carefully listen to our spouse and communicate in a humble respectful manner. Praying together can be the great aphrodisiac. A built-in Counselor (Holy Spirit) promotes guidance and healing. Couples who worship together and serve in a local church have a powerful support system when the dark times come.

Why settle for expensive shallow substitutes masked in drugs, drinks and distractions?
