This is a page in process as I add articles from time to time. I’ve also posted links to an old page from the antiquated original AChristianHome website. I no longer have the now obsolete program that was used to design the pages 🙁 , so there are many uncorrected or out of date links — I’m sure there’s a work-around, but I don’t have the mind-space to do it. However, that page is still filled with useful information, in addition to internal links that lead to articles on old the site I’m still glad I wrote. I hope it will help you.
Seeking help, encouragement, and inspiration for building, correcting, strengthening marriage is of utmost importance and inestimable worth.
♥ A good marriage takes work, dedication, sticktoitiveness, flexibility, sacrifice, HUMILITY, patience, forgiveness, GRACE, commitment and TIME! Be attentive to these things… I sincerely pray you will have a blessed and beautiful, enduring marriage!
I’ll continue to write about marriage and/or share links from time to time… but today’s the best day to just get on your knees and pray… get out your Bible, be quiet and wait on the Lord for what He would have you to do. And, by His grace, do it. And stick to it!-
Webster’s 1828 Dictionary. [Electronic Online Edition]
Marriage
MAR’RIAGE, n. [L.mas, maris.] The act of uniting a man and woman for life; wedlock; the legal union of a man and woman for life. Marriage is a contract both civil and religious, by which the parties engage to live together in mutual affection and fidelity, till death shall separate them. Marriage was instituted by God himself for the purpose of preventing the promiscuous intercourse of the sexes, for promoting domestic felicity,and for securing the maintenance and education of children.
Marriage is honorable in all and the bed undefiled. Heb.13.1. A feast made on the occasion of a marriage. The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king, who made a marriage for his son. Matt.22.2. In a scriptural sense, the union between Christ and his church by the covenant of grace. Rev.19.
