For Better or Worse

I'm back again and this week I'm coming at you with some Real Talk that if you're married you can identify with and if you're not knowledge is power.  So this week I been watching the news when I wake up and I here all this talk about a 3 year glitch. Now we not talking bout no glitch in the computer, or a glitch in the transmission system, they really talking bout a study that says marriages have went from the old 7 year itch theory to now having a 3 year glitch. Now what's up wit all that?  First of all, marriages are ordained by God. Let me say it again by God. God didn't put no glitches in marriages. Hello! we did that on our own, by having expectation without communication. Am I hittin a nerve yet? Well this may shock some, No one is perfect. If you looking for that perfect spouse or if you think you that  perfect spouse I got news for you, real talk, you're not. Marriage is hard work, that's something I've learned after being married for 11 years now. There will be ups and downs in marriage but with prayer and work on your part let me capitalize that(YOUR PART), stop worrying about the other persons part and you can have a lasting marriage. What kills me is that it seems that in this day and age marriage is almost a joke. People getting married and it hasn't even been 1 year and they tryna bounce cause things aren't going their way. So then that raises a question what was the purpose of walking down the aisle, standing before God vowing til death do you part, and performing a ritual that symbolizes lasting love if  you ready to up and leave the marriage shortly thereafter. Marriage is like your health, it's serious you got to take care of it.  If you watched the videos above, the first video is a scenario of a couple who cant agree on should the husband up and haul off for 6 months to pursue his career. Now in the video he doesn't care why she feels he shouldn't go and she doesn't care why it's important to him that he goes. To make a long story short he leaves anyway and the plane he's supposed to be on crashes. Now she hears this on the radio and is in belief that her husband is dead, while he's really on the way home. Some of us can relate to this, being so busy in our lives that we are not putting our partner's concerns first or communicating on a level that a compromise can be reached. Now what if you were in this situation and your partner had actually gotten on the plane and died?  Sometimes we have to remember that tomorrow is not promised, and the one's we love can be gone in an instant, so we really have to do what we can while they are with us to make them a priority, of course God first, then your marriage, then kids, because if its not in that order it simply wont work. Now you can allow yourself to fall prey to the devil and all these glitches and itches that society want to tell you exist or you can step up and be the man or woman that you need to be in order to help your marriage succeed. And remember the work doesn't end. Videos 1-7 are specific to this topic check em out good stuff, and  listen, holla at your girl in the comments below because this is real talk, let's get a discussion going on this.

  1. Thank you Sister, this is DEEP!

    Let start Sowing good seeds in our homes! You know you have to make sure that your marrying who GOD has ordained for you! Like we talked about before and things and ppl may try to get in our way but we have to put on the armour of GOD and be unmovable(did I spell that right)? lol And let no one or nothing come between what GOD has put together. You know what Nothing can come between what GOD had put together anyway, its us PPL that do. We can't put that on GOD or the Devil,see may times we wanna find something or someone to blame and God allows us choices. The thing is he gives us choices and equips us with the perfect gear to defeat anything that comes our way!And the good thing about him and ooh there are soooo many is that he will FIGHT IT FOR US!Isn't he awesome? WOW! What a MIGHTY GOD WE SERVE!. So we may think we can't handle it, and that's OK, Just tell him; say Jesus its too much for me I can't handle it, trust me when I say he will take the wheel. Either your going to worry or have faith. You can not do both, see when you worry your not trusting GOD your trusting man and man will fail you every time but OOh when you trust in the The Lord he will NEVER EVER EVER fail us. He said it in his word. Hebrews 13:5-6

    Love you sis,

  2. I feel you on that one. If we put on the Whole armor of God cant nothing come against us! My mom always use to say a family that prays together stays together. And the lord knows how much we can bear, what we cant handle just let go and let God. He will provide our every need.
