by Fred Lowery

He iwll die unless you do three things: Cook healthy food for him, rub his neck and shoulders to help him relax and have sex 3 times a week.

Marriage Ceremony
by Brian Fletcher
Invocation Family and friends, we are gathered here in the presence of God, to worship God as we celebrate the marriage of this Man and this Woman. Marriage was instituted by God, blessed by our Lord Jesus Christ, upheld by his apostles, and is to be honored by all people through all time. Jesus affirms the words in Genesis when he says, ''a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.'' Today you leave your families and begin a new family. Let's remember that God has established marriage for the welfare and happiness of mankind and as a picture of the way...
Marriage 101
by James Merritt
1. Let me begin by making a statement that all of you either do know or should know. That is, the institution of marriage is in big trouble in America. The number of Americans getting married has dropped to a 40 year low, and ''I do'' has been replaced with ''I won't'' or ''I no longer will.'' 2. A study by Rutgers University National Marriage Project found that Americans have not given up on marriage as an ideal, but there has been a catastrophic drop since 1960 in the number of couples who actually walk down the aisle and get married. (1) 3. Just consider the following: Over the last four decades Americans have become less likely to marry, and fewer of those who do marry have marriages they consider...
On Marriage and Divorce
by Jesse Hendley
A lady who listens to this broadcast writes, "I know the Bible teaches that unfaithfulness is valid grounds for divorce, but what does it mean when it says that whosoever marrieth her who is put away doth commit adultery? The way I understand it is that if I remarry, the one I marry would be committing adultery since I am put away." Now, she is referring there to Jesus' words in Matthew 5:31, where our Lord is quoting Moses: "Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement. But I say unto you, Whosoever putteth away his wife, except on account of fornication, maketh her to commit adultery...
The Relationship of Marriage
by Charles H. Spurgeon
These be dainty words-a grateful anodyne for a troubled conscience. Such singular comfort is fitted to cheer up the soul, and put the brightest hue on all her prospects. The person to whom it is addressed has an eminently happy position. Satan will be very busy with you, believer in Christ, tonight. He will say, "What right have you to believe that God is married to you?" He will remind you of your imperfections, and of the coldness of your love, and perhaps of the backsliding state of your heart. He will say, "What, with all this about you, can you be presumptuous enough to claim union with the Son of God? Can you venture...
Wedding Homily: Sacred Marriage
by Marion Clark
The Lord God said, ''It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.'' Now the Lord God had formed out of the ground all the beasts of the field and all the birds of the air. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds of the air and all the beasts of the field. But for Adam no suitable helper was found. So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man's ribs and closed up the place with flesh. Then the Lord...
The Dynamics Of A Dream Marriage
by Jimmy Evans
Defining a Dream Marriage: A marriage where both partners' needs are totally met. A marriage where given the opportunity, neither spouse would choose someone else over their mate. A life-long relationship built on commitment and trust, where the deepest needs and desires of our lives are cherished, honored and shared by our best friend and spouse. THE KEYS TO A DREAM MARRIAGE 1. Each spouse has an active, personal relationship with Jesus, in which their deepest personal needs are met (identity, security, purpose), their personal behavior is enhanced and scrutinized...
Unveiling Marriage's Meaning (15)
by Robert Dawson
Growing up I heard maxims, statements of general truths, such as, ''Anything worth doing is worth doing right'' or ''Anything worth having is going to cost you.'' For the most part, I have found those pithy little sayings to be true and many of you have as well. Those things we value most in our lives typically cost us in terms of effort, time or resources (physical, emotional or mental). There are some things in life that are just harder than you expect. - At some point most everyone, for some reason or another has dreamed of becoming a musician, learning to play an instrument or sing. I have tried to play the piano, guitar and sing. It is not easy. That's why I appreciate our musicians and singers so much. To play these instruments and to be able to sing well takes time...
The Story of Marriage (5 of 20)
by Tim Melton
Christian author Gary Thomas wrote a book called Sacred Marriage. In this book he challenges the reader with this question. ''Could it be that God designed marriage to make us holy more than to make us happy? That is an interesting question. As we look at the growing divorce rate in our society today it looks like more people are leaving because of unhappiness more than anything else. Marriage just has not lived up to their expectations so they are quitting. Marriage in our society is in trouble. Whether it be the high rate of divorce, the decreasing number of people choosing marriage or even those who are seeking to redefine marriage, marriage seems to be in trouble. That should alarm us because history shows that many nations have risen and fallen based on the strength or weakness...
Love and Marriage (1 of 7)
by Jim Perdue
Today, I'm beginning a brand new sermon series that will take us all the way through Father's Day. It's a series on love, marriage, parenting, kids, family, and finances. I've called this series Wisdom for the Family because we'll be studying selected scriptures in the Book of Proverbs. Today, we begin our study in Proverbs 5 as we study the subject, Love and Marriage. READ Proverbs 5:1-7, 15-19, 21 One of the oldest father-son talks in history is recorded in the book of Proverbs. Solomon, the world's wisest man in his day, was known throughout the surrounding nations for possessing wisdom and insight into all the...
The Providence of God in Marriage (7 of 7)
by Zach Terry
WE ARE FAMILY NOW, We've had the talk. Do you realize I could not have preached this a couple of years ago, because you needed to learn my heart and my commitment to the Word before we dealt with these issues. READ PAGE 273 in the God on Sex book. TEXT: Song of Solomon 8:5-14 5 "Who is this coming up from the wilderness Leaning on her beloved?" So here the couple is returning to the city from the wilderness and the people are recognizing the affect they have had upon each other. That is a goal of a good and effective date - you come home different. Solomon speaks - "Beneath the apple tree...
Love for a Lifetime (6 of 6)
by Jim Perdue
Today, we come to the conclusion of our series through the Song of Solomon. We have seen What the Bible Says About Marriage, Love, and Sex. And we have seen how to pattern our lives, our marriages, and our families after God's plan in His Word. Today, I want to finish this series by looking at Song of Solomon 7:11-8:14 as we study the subject, Love for a Lifetime. *I hope you appreciate how difficult this series has been to preach. There are some very confusing passages in this book. No one even agrees on what they mean. Beyond that, the subject matter can be completely awkward; almost all the time! You open the...
What Every Husband Wishes His Wife Knew (6 of 7)
by Zach Terry
Confidence especially when it comes to intimacy is very attractive to a man. But guys, notice the source of her confidence is that she feels secure in her husbands love. C.J. Mahanney said it well, "The husband must touch her heart before touching her body". I would add to that, "The husband must give her great security before he can expect her to have confidence in bed" How much help you wife needs in this area is affected by: 1. Her past relationships - dating at times can be training for divorce. a.If a woman has been let down by another, she may have difficulty trusting you. b. If a woman has been...
Forever, Amen! (13 of 13)
by Jerry Vines
We have a number of couples in our congregation who has celebrated fifty or more years in marriage. We are exceedingly proud of these couples. It is special to have a 50th wedding anniversary. I heard about a couple and the wife said to the husband, "This is our 50th wedding anniversary. Do you think I ought to kill a chicken tonight?" He said, "No, I don't think we ought to blame a bird for something that happened 50 years ago." I hope you don't feel that way about it. Maybe you have heard Randy Travis sing that song, "I'm going to love you forever, amen." That is the sentiment of those of you who have celebrated 50...
Marriage Matters (12)
by Tony Thomas
The Constitution mandates a federal census every ten years. The census determines three things: the number of seats each state receives in the House of Representatives, the stakeholders who receive $400 billion of federal money, and our collective lifestyle. In 2010, 309 million people resided in 105 million households: 51.5% of the households are husband/wife households, unmarried couple households numbered 5.48 million, and same-sex partner households numbered 358,000. That's .056 of 1% -- a number far lower than the media would lead you to believe! Ana Swanson wrote an interesting article in the Washington...
Husbands - Love Your Wives!
by Jim Henry
God tells us very clearly what blesses Him. I want to talk to you men, particularly. We’re going to hear what kind of husband you are supposed to be, what God expects you to be, and what He expects you to do. One time a counselor was talking to a man and he said, “I’ll tell you, you just don’t know the kind of woman I’m living with. If you did, you wouldn’t be talking about these things. My woman is a nag, and a hag, and a bag - all rolled up into one package!” The counselor said, “Well, let me tell you why your wife is a hag, and a nag, and a bag. The reason she’s a nag is because you never listen to her, never talk to her, and...
The Happy Family
by David Ireland
1.0 We're Living in a Crazy World (Eph. 5:25)! 1.1 Look at some of today's realities. A) Kids face legalization of marijuana, suicide bombers, bullying, and online terrorism. B) Adults are facing financial crises, relational challenges, job stressors, parenting difficulties, and the list goes on. 1. To reduce stress and lighten their load some parents delegate. Outsourcing Parenting: Get her to stop screaming at night via a five-day plan to adjust her schedule to yours ($350). Child-proof your home with expert latching, gating, locking, and lead-testing. CPR and car-seat training included ($1,275). Get them to stop thumb-sucking in two...
Love Your Wife (4 of 6)
by Josh Malone
Children have their own way of sharing with you that they love you. For my little girl Eden when she really wants us to know she loves us she will say... ''I love you sooooooo much. You are always in my heart.'' - Maybe she's going to write movie scripts for the Hallmark channel one day or something. When we really want someone to know we love them, we tend to want to do more than just say. ''I love you.'' Even with kids we see that. As adults we know something... love is about more than saying it or even how you say it. Love is a verb. It's more than a feeling. It involves action. It leads to doing. All of us want to be LOVED...
Part of the Marriage Story (17)
by Robert Dawson
My favorite night of the week during the fall season is Friday. I enjoy going to Martin Stadium, ''The Concrete Palace,'' and watching my Lowndes High Vikings play football. In addition to the game, I love the half-time show with the LHS Georgia Bridgeman. Once a band nerd always a band nerd. Once a Bridgeman always a Bridgeman. When I was in band, many, many, many years ago, our directors would have a show written just for us, everything from adapting a musical score to the on-field formations. It was and is exciting. It is like a symphony with visuals! Each year I'm anxious to see what story the band is going to...
