Care/maintenance Of A Marriage (HELP For The Home)
1 Peter 3:1-7, Gen. 23.
Introduction: A little girl told her mother she had heard the story of Snow White and came to the place where the prince kissed Snow White. She awakened from a deep sleep and the little girl said, ''And then, Mother, do you know what happened?'' Mom said, ''And they lived happily ever after.'' The little girl said, ''No, they got married!''

ILL. Gen. 23. Abraham wept over his dear dead wife Sarah who died at 127 years old. Couple who celebrated their 100th wedding anniversary.

He himself that one day soon he will finish that pilgrimage for a city whose builder and ruler is God. He knows, that one day they will be united. Because death can hide, but it can not divide and she is but on Christ's other side.
Again, through all there the amazing thing was that they made it. ''Til death do us part.'' They didn't make it because they were such wonderful people. No super saints. They were flesh and blood like we are. Had our same limitations and opportunities. Wha ...
