Book excerpt: We are living in a world where people are getting married and divorced almost instantaneously. They are married today, and divorced tomorrow. Some have turned it into a craze and are marrying just because it is the popular thing to do. But they do not weigh the importance and sanctity of this honorable institution. Added to all of this, many marriages are being invaded by infidelity, Hollywood, the Internet, self-centeredness, greed, and pride, when they really should be occupied with fidelity, sharing, selflessness, humility, love and service. They are no longer about sharing, but all about egotism and personal fortification, no longer about commitment, but about our personal autonomy. They are no longer about what the Bible says is right, but about our rights. They are no longer about holiness, but about our personal gratification. They are no longer about making sacrifices and holding on but about our liberty to surrender and quit at the slightest provocation. This book takes a closer look at the relationship Christ, the Head, has with His Church/ His Bride, for in it are all the components for a successful marriage. In fact, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, the Apostle Paul tells us that the relationship that Christ shares with His Church should be mirrored in the relationship husbands should have with their wives (see Ephesians 5:22-33). If marriages are a representation of Christ's, the Bridegroom's, relationship with His Church, the Bride, then everything that we need for a godly and successful marriage is evident in that relationship. This book offers sound, time-tested biblical precepts and practical steps that guarantee you a fail-safe, or foolproof, marriage once your marriage relationship mirrors the relationship Christ has with His Church.

Download or read book Seeing Yourself in the Mirror of Marriage written by James Dubbs and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2023-04-05 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PLEASE NOTE: The initial printing of this book contains the following glitch. Pages 19 & 20 speak about an exercise involving 5 steps. The steps should read in the sequential order of 1,2,3,4,5 - instead of how the book printed the steps (1,2,1,2,3). Marriage doesn’t create problems, it reveals problems. The problems each spouse bring to a marriage will be the problems of the marriage. Solve yourself and you greatly enhance the odds of enjoying a fulfilling and lasting marriage. Whether a couple is attracted to each other because of looks, or personality, or other factors, it would stand to reason that wedded bliss would be the expected outcome. But that quite often is not the case: Even Captain and Tennille, a pop duo from my younger years, captured the nation’s attention by singing of their committed love in the song, “Love Will Keep Us Together,” yet ended up divorcing after thirty-nine years of marriage. Why did this duo, in addition to a myriad of others, fail in marriage? James Dubbs, who has been involved in ministry for more than fifty years as a youth and family pastor, has in his book uncovered why so many marriages fail. You’re invited to examine yourself to understand how you may be contributing unwittingly to damaging conflict in your relationship. Consider questions such as: • What does it mean, and how does a spouse “solve” oneself? • What conditions can overtake love and doom a marriage? • What part does the hidden power of contempt play in a broken marriage? • What actions must you take in seeking to prevent marital love from turning sour? Whether you’re thinking about getting married, struggling in a marriage, or simply want to do everything you can to ensure your love remains vibrant and strong, this book is steeped with wisdom from the Bible and life experience to help you achieve that end.
