TRUTH ABOUT MARRIAGE

Pastor David Oyedepo
HARDCORE TRUTH ABOUT MARRIAGE! !!!!
1. There is nothing that threatens the security of
a wife than the thought of another woman
competing for the attention and affection of her
husband. Nothing is more painful. Nothing is
more disrespecting. Nothing is more insulting.
Nothing is more belittling and degrading.
2. Marriage flourishes when the couple works
together as a team; when both husband and wife
decide that winning together is more important
than keeping score.
Good marriages don't just happen. They are a
product of hard work.
3. Your children are watching you and forming
lasting opinions on love, commitment, and
marriage based on what they see in you. Give
them hope. Make them look forward to marriage.
4. Husbands: The reason why other women look
attractive is because someone is taking good care
of them. Grass is always green where it is
watered. Instead of drooling over the green grass
on the other side of the fence, work on yours and
water it regularly. Any man can admire a
beautiful woman, but it takes a true gentleman to
make a woman admirable and beautiful.
5. When a husband puts his wife first above
everyone and everything except God, it gives his
wife the sense of security and honor that every
wife hungers for.
6. A successful marriage doesn't require a big
house, a prefect spouse, a million dollars or an
expensive car. You can have all the above and
still have a miserable marriage. A successful
marriage requires honesty, undying commitment
and selfless love and Jesus at the center of it all.
7. Pray for your spouse every day; in the morning,
in the afternoon and at evening. Don’t wait until
there is a problem. Don’t wait until there is an
affair. Don’t wait until something bad happens.
Don’t wait until your spouse is tempted. Shield
your spouse with prayer and cover your marriage
with the fence of prayer.
8. The people you surround yourself with have a
lot of influence on your marriage. Friends can
build or break your marriage; choose them wisely.
9. One spouse cannot build a marriage alone
when the other spouse is committed to
destroying it. Marriage works when both husband
and wife work together as a team to build their
marriage.
10. Don't take your spouse for granted. Don't
take advantage of your spouse's meekness and
goodness. Don't mistake your spouse's loyalty for
desperation. Don't misuse or abuse yours
spouse's trust. You may end up regretting after
losing someone that meant so much to you.
11. Beware of marital advice from single people.
Regardless of how sincere their advice may be,
most of it is theoretical and not derived from real
life experiences. If you really need Godly advice,
seek it from God-fearing, impartial and prayerful
mature couples whose resolve has been tested by
time and shaped by trials.
12. Dear wife, Don't underestimate the power of
the tongue on your marriage. The tongue has the
power to crush your marriage or build it up. Don't
let the Devil use your tongue to kill your spouse's
image, self-confidence and aspirations. Let God
use your tongue to build up your marriage and
bless and praise your spouse.
