Jan 14, How to destroy a marriage part 2
Yesterday I shared five ways to destroy a marriage. Quick recap:
1. Have an affair.
2. Think about opposite sex, other than spouse.
3. Prefer to have orgasm instead of God's blessings.
4. Putting your needs before that of family.
5. Meeting with opposite sex alone.
5 more sure fire ways to destroy a marriage:
6. Never have dinner together as a family.
Statistics prove that families that eat together stay together. Children who have family meals have better grades. I'm convinced one of Satan's number one tolls is a thing called business. What is more important, your child playing year round sports or having a family that is together? Please, make plans to sit down and eat as a family as much as possible.
7. Base what a marriage is supposed to be from Hollywood and not God's word.
Hollywood is a lie. When your 45 years old you don't look like you did when you were 20. Trust me, I know all about that. So many families try to emulate their favorite tv show. I don't understand, Hollywood never did anything for you but lie.
8. Compare your spouse to someone else.
Enough said!
9. Depend on your spouse to meet your needs and give you happiness.
Yes, your spouse should try and meet your needs. And yes, your spouse should bring you happiness. But if it hasn't happened yet (which means you've been married a day) your spouse will let you down. The only person who can satisfy your needs and bring complete happiness is Jesus Christ. And by the way, he'll never let you down.
10. FACEBOOK
You may disagree with this one but I don't care. Anytime we reconnect with old flames, co-workers, new friends etc, when there is already trouble in a marriage, watch out! I'm not against facebook. It is like anything else in the world, something good that can be used for evil.
There you have it. 10 ways to destroy your marriage, in my humble opinion.
Some random thoughts:
* It is going to be 60 tomorrow. I will be sitting on Lake Hartwell at daybreak.
* Sunday is going to be incredible.
* Don't be late. If you try and come in after the third song you won't be allowed into auditorium. Have to watch service on tv screen in foyer area. Something I'm doing. Trust me, be here early.
* Second service, were going to ask some of you to come first service. Running out of seats.
* I'm convinced something incredible is going to happen this Sunday. Life change baby!
* Don't forget, the year 2010 is a year of actions. Read the Bible, invite the unchurched, do something out of your box for Jesus.
* See you Sunday.
