The Cause of Marriage Stress in Christian Marriage

What causes marriage stress? Well, believe it or not, your words have the power to cause a lot of stress and damage in your marriage. That is, when you choose not to control them. The right words can extinguish a volatile situation, but the wrong words can add fuel to an already blazing fire. Imagine for a moment that a fire started in your home. What would you do? Would you throw wood on the flames to keep them burning, or would you make an attempt to put the fire out? My guess is that your first reaction would probably be to put out the flames.

My Wife Left Me: Christian Advice

The phrase "My wife left me", has become a common phrase echoed in many Christian homes. While the phrase itself is grammatically small, the implications behind it are rather large. Why on earth would a Christian wife simply pack her belongings and walk out? Well, there are a number of reasons why she might do this, but one thing is for certain, and that is, her decision to leave was not an ove ight decision. It's a decision that likely came after months or years of being unhappy. Perhaps, it's a result of physical or verbal abuse.

Biblical Marriage Separation Advice

Need marriage separation advice? Does the thought of separating from your spouse sound like a good idea? Well, unfortunately my friend, everything that sounds good is not good. As a Christian, you must be very careful that you are being led by the Holy Spirit and Godly principals rather than by your own desires and frustrations. While many psychologists promote separation as a good way for couples to save their marriages, that advice should not be embraced by Christian couples. Am I saying a Christian can never separate from his or her spouse?

Christian Remarriage Tips

The topic of Christian remarriage has caused many a heated debate between brothers and sisters in Christ. The question at hand? Whether or not remarrying after divorce is a sin or not? Frankly, this debate is unfruitful. The reason? because the whole foundation of Christianity is built upon the redemptio Christ provided when He was crucified. Through His death, forgiveness was issued for all sin. That's right, the blood of Jesus covers all sin. And since all means "everything" and excludes nothing, it would also cover the sin of remarriage.

Tough Love in Christian Marriage

I'm sure you know that God loves and forgives you unconditionally. But did you know that He expects you to extend that same love and forgiveness to your spouse unconditionally? Of course I knew that, you say. But do you really? Listen God loves us and forgives us daily when we disobey Him, when we don't trust Him, when we don't spend time with Him, and when we don't listen to Him. Can you love your spouse when they don't behave in the manner you desire? I mean really love them without getting an attitude. Can you demonstrate love when you feel they're not listening to you?

Christian Devotionals

Christian Finances in Marriage

When it comes to Christian finances, some mistakenly have the idea that the separation of 'his' and 'hers' continues even after the wedding ceremony. But trying to keep 'his' and 'hers' from mingling leads to all kinds of problems with marriage and money. In a Christian marriage, there is no separation in what belongs to him or her.
