Book excerpt: There is no room for complacency in marriages; the devil is constant and active, never sleeping. He fights a merciless war, tirelessly looking for openings and a very strategic war; patiently strategizing to create openings. His great agitation that ignites his fiery hatred is that he knows his time is short. There is no room for presumption in marriage, just proactive commitment to daily activate the principles that make strong marriages. The resurgence of the Jezebel spirit with greater ferocity in these end times is another reason for couples and families to be even more watchful. These are the days when marriages cannot be taken casually. This book is a commitment rule book for all marriages. It walks the reader through commitments to make and to keep that will not just keep the marriage strong constantly, but rousing and resilient. Kingdom Marriages seeks to break the marriage vows down into daily commitments. KINGDOM MARRIAGES is a book of commitments and prayers, summarizing each chapter. Below is the example of one such commitment, a commitment to intimacy: INTIMACY PLEDGE I, (name), and I, (name), hereby commit to build intimacy constantly and consistently in my marriage so that intercourse is just a culmination of what happens constantly. I commit to creativity, and proactivity in speaking (name's) love language and to build passion with touching, playing, admiring, appreciating and complimenting in a deliberate way. I commit never to withhold sex for personal or emotional reasons or to withhold myself during sex, but, to be even more animated to show my commitment when the marriage is under attack from the enemy. PRAYER TOGETHER Awesome and amazing God, I thank You for giving to me such an amazing (wife/husband). I am so attracted to (him/her) and crazy about the times we spend together. I pray that You breathe upon our times of intimacy and make it heavenly every time for both of us. Seal our friendship with love as we fulfill our commitment to build intimacy and passion throughout this marriage in and out of intercourse. Amen

Download or read book Vow written by Wendy Plump and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2013-02-12 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Monogamy is one of the most important vows we make in our marriages. Yet it is a rare spouse who does not face some level of temptation through the allure of other people. Sometimes the issues are resolved before anyone is hurt. But sometimes, as with Wendy Plump's marriage, the fallout is confronted head-on-when not one but both spouses cheat. In early 2005, Wendy Plump found out about her husband's second family. They lived just a mile from the home she shared with her sons in the farmlands of Pennsylvania. But the discovery followed betrayals of her own, earlier in the marriage. Most discussions of infidelity focus on one side and therefore provide a skewed perspective. In this unique, 360-degree look, Plump delivers a searing, confessional story about the challenges of marriage that reads like a conversation between old friends. From the view of both betrayer and betrayed, Plump looks at the ordeal of finding out, the recovery, the ebb and flow of passion, the daily play of personality that can lead to fulfillment or disillusionment, family and friends and therapists, illicit attraction, the lovers, the lies, the alibis, even the undeniable pleasures affairs gave her as a younger woman. As she explores the wreckage of her own marriage, Plump offers a beautifully told narrative of hope, recovery, and wonder for the pull of couplehood that reawakens a belief in the value of fidelity and commitment.

The wedding ceremony signifies so much more than a commitment between two individuals; it’s a living portrait of God’s love for His people. The whole drama of God’s love and plan for all of us is represented in the rites of the traditional wedding ceremony and the daily experience of marriage. God designed marriage to reveal His love relationship with His people, His bride.

And they see a wife who, having taken on her husband’s name and calling, loves to please him and spend time in his presence, just as believers in Christ respond eagerly to God. When your eyes are open to these realities, your marriage–and your relationship with God–will shine with the wonder of this divine romance.

Download or read book Providence written by John Piper and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2021-02-09 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New from Best-Selling Author John Piper From Genesis to Revelation, the providence of God directs the entire course of redemptive history. Providence is "God's purposeful sovereignty." Its extent reaches down to the flight of electrons, up to the movements of galaxies, and into the heart of man. Its nature is wise and just and good. And its goal is the Christ-exalting glorification of God through the gladness of a redeemed people in a new world. Drawing on a lifetime of theological reflection, biblical study, and practical ministry, pastor and author John Piper leads us on a stunning tour of the sightings of God's providence—from Genesis to Revelation—to discover the allencompassing reality of God's purposeful sovereignty over all of creation and all of history. Piper invites us to experience the profound effects of knowing the God of all-pervasive providence: the intensifying of true worship, the solidifying of wavering conviction, the strengthening of embattled faith, the toughening of joyful courage, and the advance of God's mission in this world.

Download or read book Ceremony of Marriage written by Kenneth Copeland and published by Destiny Image Publishers. This book was released on 2012-05-01 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The marriage union is the closest relationship that can exist between two human beings. When a man and woman decide to join together in marriage, they should do so with full realization of their responsibilities. Marriage is serious business. When two born-again believers know it is God's will for them to marry, they come together before God, a minister and witnesses to join their hearts and lives. They make a public profession of their mutual love and devotion, pronouncing vows and pledging their lives to each other. As they pronounce the marriage vows in faith, the power of God goes into operation and a miracle takes place. They are united by God and become as one in His sight. Their union is threefold: They are joined together spiritually by God, legally by the contract they enter into and physically, when the marriage is consummated. A husband and wife are joined together as Jesus is joined to the Church. It is a miraculous union. This booklet contains the wedding ceremony that I use as a minister of God. It is based totally and completely on the Word of God. As you use this ceremony, I add my faith to yours in believing God for lives of love and harmony for the couples you minister to, in Jesus' name." Kenneth Copeland

Download or read book The Vow written by Ed Gungor and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his first release since the best-selling There is More to the Secret, Ed Gungor challenges the church to return to authenticity and community. Over and over again in scripture Christians are encouraged to "make vows to the Lord" (e.g., Psalm 76:11). Is it possible that making vows-- intentionally inserting various Christian practices into our lives-- would have great value to 21st-century Christians? What if we thoughtfully and publicly articulated vows before God and those we love? Would it help our lives take on the tone of the eternal? Has something been lost in the openness of the 21st century? The answer is yes! Gungor says: "Vow-making is an old trail that was very familiar to the ancients who have gone before us, but is virtually unknown for we moderns. As I have wandered down this path, it has been both intriguing and empowering, and, on another level, just plain dangerous. But I really think it's leading somewhere. That's the why of this writing."
