Godly Success In Marriage

Just "A" little effort will do!

Praise the Lord for His Good, Grace, Mercy, Loving kindness and many more......to Praise HIM and to THANK HIM.

We are enjoying our marriage life. No words can be describe, but what i can say is God is Faithful. He gives me strength to love, patient for one another, self-control as it is very easily to "spark" a argument , and open my eyes to see the important of by putting "A" little effort to my marriage. Just "A" little effort will do!

This is my experience:
1) When my wife ask me to pick her up after my home meeting (usually end at 10pm) for supper, instead of sms her :Sorry, i tired or k, but this time i replied her, "Is my pleasure, darling". And the reply that i have received was : Love you, darling. Never know that by putting little effort, i also receive the blessing too. I am happy and joyful and surprised to receive my wife reply. I guess she also put in that little effort too :)

2) When things were not pleasant when it comes for either one of us has to go home on Friday nite to babysit our 2 children, i have to attend home meeting and my wife has to work late, it is very easily to "spark" an quarrel. But Praise the Lord, after i have settled the issue with my mum, i sms to my wife : " Tks for everything, without you :) ". I guess that will brought her a "smile" and i am sure it will.

3) When i told my wife to buy 6 packs of fish soup for our family dinner for approx 17 pax, she bought only 3 packs. And i begin to raise my voice, but at that moment, miraculously, somehow or rather, i begin to cool down suddenly. And instead of asking her to go back and buy, without any anger inside, i just put on a T-shirt. But my mum and my wife assured me that it enough as there are many other dishes, so i did not insist, and have my dinner peacefully. Tks the Lord for my wife and my mum, too.

What i am sharing is that many of the above example was not me in the past, many times, i take my wife for granted. But this years plus, Praise the Lord for the Marriage Support Group and also because of the topic that we have done during our recent Youth and Young People meeting. It help tremendously. Of course, not only hearer but also doer. Try it.

We have to put in effort in order to enjoy Godly success in marriage.

Glory be to God.
