      CHAPTER I: MARRIAGE WARS

      The Battle for Control

      When a Christian couple is preparing for marriage they must come to grips with their need to conquer and control. They should share with each other and work through (Christian pre-marriage counseling), the entitlements they have selfishly developed. They must realize that they have been fighting for self-centered entitlements most of their lives. We all must learn that when we surrendered to Christ we surrendered all of our personal rights and vowed to exchange them for rights that God has promised to bless in his word. If a Christian couple marries without doing this, undoubtedly they will have more battles than answers. It's never too late to learn and apply God’s principles and grow together as husband and wife. One of the first things to learn is the definition of love. Marital love starts with commitment to the future spouse for life, God’s marital love gives, and Satan’s imitation takes I. Corinthians Chapter 13.

      2. True Love Gives

      3. True Love is Committed

      4. True Love is Faithful

      5. True Love Esteems

      7. True Love Purifies

      8. True love is unconditional

      1. Lust Degrades

      2. Lust leaves empty

      3. Lust is self-centered

      4. Lust is adulterous

      5. Lust sacrifices others

      6. Lust degrades

      7. Lust takes

      Sadly to say most Christian marriages today start out with three strikes. Many times three strikes will cause a couple to strike out and live in misery, separated, divorced or involved with multiple marriages. Many start with lust, then turn to rust and finally end up dust. It is estimated that; seventy-five percent of divorces are filed by women. The reason most stated, I feel like I am the only one trying. The divorce rate in the Christian Church is now over fifty percent (Barna). Eighty-nine percent of those that live together before marriage end up in divorce. In a Harvard University study it was discovered that there is only one out of one thousand two hundred and fifty seven chances of divorce for the married couples’ that read the Bible together, pray together and fellowship together. This equals one tenth of one percent. Battles break fellowship. Broken fellowship makes it impossible to pray together or read the Bible together. Another important reason to do it right the first time is that it is much harder to reconcile after a divorce. Also seventy-five percent of remarriages fail, eight-five percent of third marriages fail, and ninety percent of fourth marriages fail. This is why God hates divorce and regulates divorce. He does this because of the hardness of heart, (unforgiving, rebellious, murderous, hearts). Unfaithfulness, power and control issues of one or both spouses are usually at the root of divorce (Deut. 24, I Cor. 7:15, Jer. 3:18). But in the beginning with Adam and Eve it was not so (Malachi 2:14-17). All things are possible with God and we can do all things through Christ who has strengthened us and called us to his purpose. God has called us to peace and reconciliation. God does forgive.

      Don’t enter marriage with strikes against you.
