Key 2 a Stronger Marriage


"Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of ur mouths, but only wat is helpful - Ephesians 4:29NIV


Couples dat retain mutual respect n undrstanding...stay 2gather." Solomon said,"Reckless words pierce like a sword...d tongue of d wise brings healing"- Proverbs 12:18 NIV


Marriage is a special relationship created by God.U're "no longer two but one" - Matthew 19:6NIV,so when conflicts arise:


a) attack d problem not each other

b) stay calm n your partner's more likely to take u seriously

c) choose d best time 2 address d issues

d) consider your partner's viewpoint

e) remember,there'll be times when u'll hav 2 compromise

f) choose yr words carefully


Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of yr mouths,but only wat is helpful for building others up!

Encourage one another, forgive one another,pray for each other,spur one another on towards love and good deeds,carry each other's burdens,give preference to one another


and that about sums it up!

Bible S T U D Y


Dr Paul Lyttle once compared personal Bible study 2 eating peanuts :


"Once u start doing it, u're hooked!


Wen u discover how gud Bible study 'tastes' u'll find urself going bac 4 more n more. Yes, personal Bible study can b habit forming"


Great truths don't lie on d surface; we hav 2 dig for them

Bottom line? "Continue in.....the Holy Scriptures, which are able 2 make

us WISE."


The story's told of a man who came 2 pick his wife up after church: "Is d sermon over?"he asked. A turned-on-member replied,"No,it has just begun. Now d rest is up 2us!"
