joy2give2u -> Bridal shower......men are welcome (8/13/2008 11:11:41 AM)

After reading bricole77's exciting announcement I smiled as I thought of two other people from the singles thread who are also getting married......this month.

I realized we have not done anything special for them.

We haven't even had a bridal shower........[sm=icon_smile_yikes.gif][sm=icon_smile_yikes.gif]

SOOOOOO

I am throwing a one........

Please come and join me in celebrating our single friends who are about to become married or have recently gotten married.

Above All, Sharon, bricole77, Denise, Rach and Ray we are so very excited for you as you walk into this new season of your lives.......

How exciting to see our own friends prayers being answered.......

This thread is to give them advice, well wishes or just share in their blessing...........[:D][:D][:D]

If each person thinks of the needs of the other first, then the couple will have a harmonious mariage.

ShallbeRebuilt -> RE: Bridal shower......men are welcome (8/13/2008 12:38:56 PM)

Seriously:

Here's the best advice I can give both bride and groom...

In every part of your lives together, always act in such a way that if God takes your spouse Home, you will have no regrets.

John_O -> RE: Bridal shower......men are welcome (8/13/2008 12:51:10 PM)

I'm slow joy. !0 minutes 10 seconds



joy2give2u -> RE: Bridal shower......men are welcome (8/13/2008 1:00:53 PM)

You did the word scramble in ten seconds?

Are you sure your clock isn't broken?

It took me longer then that and I knew the answers.[:D][:D][:D]

I couldn't get 7, 15, or 16 and it only took me a few minutes to get the other ones. *shrug*

I really don't have any marital advice. Most of what I come up is trite and stupid sounding, so let's see how I do here.

One thing I've noticed through time is that communication is going to be your best friend or worst enemy in a marriage. Your words alone can bring your spouse to the highest point of his life or the lowest point so choose them wisely. Pray ceasingly for each other and with each other and don't forget the simple things in life...a bubble fight while washing dishes is a great way to laugh together. [:D]

OOPS typo. TEN minutes and 10 seconds

This thread is to give them advice,


Hey I'm good at that!

(I'm assuming that you have all selected good strong Christians who are wanting to be good strong spouses)

(in no particular order)

1. There are certain words to remove from your vocabulary. The "d" word first among them. You are getting married for as long as you both shall live. There is no way out before then*. So you may as well decide right now to work on your marriage every day no matter what your spouse did that day.

2. Remember your words are permanent. If yousay something you don't mean in a fit of anger (and we all get angry at our spouses) they will remember that for a long long time. So again remove those words from your vocabulary ("I hate you" and such should never ever be uttered in your home) Once words are spoken they cannot be taken back.

3. Love each other. Wake up eveyr day and make the decision to love your spouse no matter what.

4. Hand in hand with that let your spouse know you love them every day. In our house "I love you" was the most spoken phrase (and still is).

5. Husbands to be, get used to doing some housework. I've heard it said that nothing is sexier to a woman than her husband pushing the vacuum cleaner.

6. Wives to be, treat him like a king and he will treat you like a queen

7. Husbands, spoil your wives. Wives, spoil your husbands. Don't spoil the children, spoil each other.

8, Make Jesus the absolute center of your marriage. As the billboard says "Loved the wedding, now invite me to the marriage". If teh two of you are continually growing closer to God you can't help but grow closer to each other.

9. Give each other a little space. A good marriage is like a good fire. Stay close enough to keep each other warm yet far enough apart so you each can breathe.


(*A scriptural case can be made for getting out in teh case of adultery, abuse or abandonment)
