How are you spending your weekend this weekend?  We’re out with my inlaws spending the entire weekend– so, as you can imagine, this was written before I left!

So, this will be me first links post from this site– where I share some of the links to things that I found interesting in the Marriage category, and give you some of my thoughts.

From Dreadlock to Wedlock

This is a great, Bible based post about what it means to get married.  I took some of these items for inspiration for the Godly Husband series I did a while back.  Take a look!

The devastation of adultery

Holly talks about just what adultery does to a relationship between two people. 

But first and foremost – I want to urge you, if you are married, to be a faithful spouse. If you are a husband, I strongly remind you of your duty to love your wife – more than yourself.

If you are a wife, I remind you to give of yourself to your husband, in every way. Make it your task to find out how he feels loved, and then make it a priority to fulfill him.

Sober words that we should all take to heart.

Why a happy marriage is the best stressbuster of all

This author encourages us with the following:

Forget massages, hot baths and soothing music - the key to beating stress is as simple as a happy marriage.

Research shows that being in a loving relationship makes it easier to cope with the stresses and strains of working life.

Do you find your marriage as a place of refuge or as a stress inducer?  On the whole, there’s a lot of strength to be gained from your relationship with your spouse– but you have to put the time in to make it a happy marriage!

The Marriage ABC’s

Anna listed the ABC’s of marriage.  Literally.  She took each letter of the alphabet and described something about marriage:

  • Adaptability - Cultivate a taste for each other’s interests.
  • Belief - Trust one another.
  • Children - Be of one mind on the subject.
  • Devotion - Don’t be sparing with love.
  • Entertainment - Keep each other amused and interested.

How do you do on these?

Premarital Primer

Jess talks about what to do before you get married, and her key piece of advice is to talk!

The main thing I would tell any engaged couple is this: TALK ABOUT EVERYTHING YOU POSSIBLY CAN!!! If something comes to your mind, you might as well talk it through! You’ll never be sorry that you discussed something in advance of making the biggest human commitment of your life.

 

That’s it for now!  Get reading and building your relationships!
