Marriage 101~Marriage is a choice

There are numerous reasons people marry. Some want to settle down, and start a family. Others don't want to do life alone. Still others feel it's just time. The one that get's me is, "I found someone I can live with." This is the answer that really gets me, because it's not finding someone we can live with that should bring us to the altar, but finding the person we can't live with out. When we find someone we can't see ourselves living without, it helps us to change. It helps us to become more than we are capable of being. Love will cause someone to run into a burning house. Love will enable someone to lift a car. We have all seen what love is cable of doing. I would even go further and say love has no limits. 

God loved so much He gave His only Son. Jesus loved so much He gave His life. When we are born again we love so much we die to self, take up our cross and live for Christ. There in is love. Love is limitless in it's ability to give up, to take up. Give up what it wants, for the sake of giving to others what they need.

Once we say, "I do." Then we married the right person. Up until that point, we were free to choose. However, once the choice is made, we must stick with our choice. Unlike children who are allowed to pick a piece of candy, then run back and want to exchange it, marriage confronts us with adult decisions that are irreversible. When God sent Jesus it was irreversible. When Jesus gave His life it was irreversible. God is in to choices. He tells us chose this day who we will serve. God tells us we can't serve two masters. Today choose. Choose your mate all over again. Choose to say, "Yes", all over again. Register at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/marriage-seminar-2018-tickets-40111994054
