UNITY IN THE FAMILY

plojslydia (55) in marriage • 7 years ago

In a marriage, there will always be some challenges. Your family, friend or your pastor can not save your marriage. It is only YOU that can save it and that is if you allow Christ in your family

Do not let a third party in your home, leave your bombs at home. If you have any problem, discuss it with your partner and do not keep secrets.

We should apply unity in our home, we should always work things together. Always agree with one another. We should also focus on God to help our family to be united. As it is written in the bible passage on John ch.15 vs 5 >I am the vine, ye are the branches: he that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit; for without me ye can do nothing."

So without God in the family, we cannot do anything and trouble will be in the family. Before unity can be established, we must have divine protection and divine order. In the book of Ephesians Ch. 5 vs 25

Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and have himself for it."

If there's no love in the family, the family cannot be united, so we need to love ourselves. We need to make Christ our focus also.
Why do most couples separate?

1. They don't trust each other 2. Lack of communication 3. Constant argument 4. Unrealistic expectations 5. Lack of intimacy 6. Lack of equality Things like not spending enough quality time together, allowing bitterness and resentment to build in our hearts and failing to keep communication lines open or maybe change in lifestyle can cause the family not to be united and it can lead to divorce, but while quality time, forgiveness and communication are vitally important to help in getting the family united, if such things aren’t happening, it’s usually a sign of a much deeper problem. And until this problem is addressed, no amount of external behavior modification will work.

Agree with you. The easiest and simplest way to solve disputes between couple is just discussion. Not by involving 3rd party. It is one of the best posts. I appreciate your post.I am following you and upvoted your post.

Exactly, some couples love to take their secrets outside their home or reporting their partners to their friends which is a bad idea. Thanks for reading my post. God bless @benilda

Communication helps to build love also. Infact alot needed to be put in place for unity to abide in family or relationship. One you need a verbal community

Dont allow third party. Try resolve issue between yourself.
Always add your relationship in prayer

Your post is excellent, I so much love this.

What is marriage?
Marriage is a divine coming together of two different people to make up a union and fulfil a purpose which is signed by God.

Things you must do to have a sweet home/family.

Never bring the things of the past into your marriage.
Never you neglect your spouse.
Never you go to sleep with an argument unsettled. I.e always makes sure you settle any quarrel at that particular time because it may increase in the morning.
Always say something compliment to your spouse e.g "I love you".
Never meet your spouse without a passionate welcome e.g " a hug and a kiss ".
For richer or poorer always rejoice with your spouse.
Learn to forgive your spouse whenever he/she eventually offend you.
Don't use faith as a hammer to rebuke your spouse.
Let love be your guide point.
