What wonderful advice Sister Mary!! When Father deems me fit for marriage, I will be proud to use this advice to be the best wife and homemaker I am capable of being!

Re: Biblical Tips That Guarantee A Godly Marriage

Good Day, Ladies:

My disciplined and caring wife, Jennifer, sends her greetings. There is much wisdom in this thread. I am blessed with a wife that has learned the principles that make a marriage glorious and precious in the eyes of God.

As a husband and father, I owe it to my dear wife, Jennifer, to be a prayerful leader. Because women in general are prone to be wayward and unable to control their urges, God has placed males to be a solid rock in your lives; a rope that you can cling to when life is stormy; a level head when yours is like jelly - which is most of the time, ha ha ha. LOL.

But we need you! We need you to support our every dream, to follow our whims and wishes. We'll have good times, and you'll have bad times, when we do things that you don't understand. But if you love us, you'll forgive us. Even though we're hard to understand. So if you love us, oh, be proud of us - cause, after all, we're just men.

My precious wife, Jennifer, stands by her man. If you'll do the same, you will understand that we are the leaders of your home, sent by God to keep you safe and out of harms way. We will bring you the meat, and we enjoy the way you prepare it. We handle all the things women cannot understand so you have time to ooh and ahh over shoes, flowers, and the way sugar cookies sparkle in the sun. Imagine a man doing those things? I can't.

Jennifer reminds me that your attention span has probably already been exceeded, so I'll hush. Those of you that remain unmarried, heed well what Sister Mary has shared with you so that your fathers can be proud of you when he assigns someone for you to wed. I pray for you all, sending my love. May God bless your finite minds.

Doc

Re: Biblical Tips That Guarantee A Godly Marriage

I think you may be a tad too kind to your wife, Brother Mansfield. It was not she, who made you the prayerful man you are now. It was God. Never forget that us women are simple minded, deceitful creatures that are to be blamed for all the sin in the world, do not encourage her to think of herself in a good light. Women with high self esteem turn into feminazis.
Subserviently,
Mary Thompson.

Dr. Mansfield, thank you for proving a man's perspective. By following the simple rules I share with the ladies in this thread, I know that I can count on Mr. Etheldreda to control me when my emotions get the best of me. I am ever grateful to him for understanding better than I when those emotions are about to burst, as he consistently heads me off at the pass. I admit that at times, in my flesh I have no idea I am about to loose emotional control, and yet his loving, guiding hand, or sometimes fist if the situation requires, is always there to prevent me from embarrassing him. I am sure your Jennifer is similarly grateful to your guidance.

But we need you! We need you to support our every dream, to follow our whims and wishes. We'll have good times, and you'll have bad times, when we do things that you don't understand. But if you love us, you'll forgive us. Even though we're hard to understand. So if you love us, oh, be proud of us - cause, after all, we're just men.

You're a humble man, friend, but don't sell yourself short. What is a man, after all? The LORD has made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour (Psalms 8:5-6)

Re: Biblical Tips That Guarantee A Godly Marriage

I agree Sister Mary. I feel that this doctor may be a little weak, as he appears to be too dependant on his wife. What real man spends all this time thinking of his wife - Jennifer or Naomi or whatever her name is? It's the sign of a lieberal sissy. We're not interested in his wife, we're interested in him.

Amen. I have heard him talking about how much he loves his wife. blah blah blah but he has never mentioned him beating her or more importantly spreading the word of Christ.

This is a wonderful list, Pastor! I will print this out and give it to the man that my father will choose to be my husband.

Re: Biblical Tips That Guarantee A Godly Marriage

With the greatest respect Mrs Etheldreda, there is one important point I would like to add to your list.
Keep a good home. When your husband returns home from work, the house must be clean and tidy. His slippers should be at the foot of his chair, an unopened newspaper beside it together with a glass of his favourite tipple.The children must be bathed and ready for bed. They must kiss their father on the cheek, say their prayers and immediately go to bed. Then dinner must be served. He has had a very busy day in the office providing for you and needs sustenance and a quiet and peaceful home.


Mrs Etheldreda, I hope you don't mind me adding to your list.

Nothing wrong with this but... Don't the children need to eat dinner. You didn't mention it and I was wondering.

The husband always comes first dear. So they can eat before he arrives, because my father hated coming home to loud noises and us children underfoot. After his long day of work, he wanted his house, his kingdom, to be a peaceful haven for him.
