STAYING MARRIED 50 YEARS

1. Keep God the Center FOCUS

Let us strip off everything that hinders us, as well as the sin which dogs our feet, and let us run the race that we have to fun with patience, our eyes fixed on Jesus the source and the goal of our faith. Hebrews 12:1-2 Phillips

Make a Full Commitment of your life to Christ! Pray Together, Read Scripture, Serve Together

2. SACRIFICE for each other. Be devoted to one another in love 2. SACRIFICE for each other. Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. Romans 12:10 NIV

“To be OTHERS CENTERED instead of self-centered” In Tasks and Possessions

3. Stay out of DEBT. Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law. Romans 13:8 NIV

Be content with what God supplies. I have learned the secret of being content (fulfilled) in any and every situation Philippians 4:12

Use DEFERENCE in your communication. Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them for this is the Law and the Prophets. Matthew 7:12 NKJV

Adjust to the WISHES of your mate. Philippians 2:4

5. “Spend EXCLUSIVE time together.” Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined (stick together) to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. Genesis 2:24

Discuss Daily and Date Weekly. Communication is stating facts in a way that the other person UNDERSTANDS what you MEAN by what you say.

Meet each other’s INTIMATE needs. The husband should give his wife what is due to her as his wife, and the wife should be as fair to her husband.

The wife has no longer full rights over her own person, but shares them with her husband. In the same way, the husband shares his personal rights with his wife.

Do not cheat each other of normal sexual intercourse, unless of course you both decide to abstain temporarily to make special opportunity for prayer.

I Corinthians 7:3-5 (Phillips) But afterward you should resume relations as before, or you will expose yourselves to the obvious temptation of Satan. I Corinthians 7:3-5 (Phillips) This is non-verbal communication.

7. LOVE and RESPECT one another. Nevertheless, let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband. Ephesians 5:33

The husband is to LOVE his wife as Christ loves the church. The wife is to RESPECT OR HONOR her husband. Your mate’s needs must come before your own.

Take calculated RISKS together. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths. Proverb 3:5-6

Taking a “calculated risk” is to act on your faith together.

9. INTERNALIZE the 15 characteristics of love in I Corinthians 13:4-7. The love of which I speak is slow to lose patience --- it looks for a way of being constructive.

It is not possessive: it is neither anxious to impress nor does it cherish inflated ideas of its own importance. Love has good manners and does not pursue selfish advantage.

It is not touchy. It does not keep account of evil or gloat over the wickedness of other people.

On the contrary, it shares the joy of those who live by the truth On the contrary, it shares the joy of those who live by the truth. Love knows no limit to its endurance, no end to its trust, no fading of its hope; it can outlast anything. Love never fails. (Phillips)

10. Remain FAITHFUL and never use the “D” word 10. Remain FAITHFUL and never use the “D” word. You have heard that it was said to those of old, “You shall not commit adultery.”

But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. Matthew 5:27-28

“God’s standard for monogamy includes not only what happens in the bedroom, but what happens in the mind. This includes pornography, graphic romance novels, ‘checking out’ other people, etc.” Dave Willis

Remember God hates divorce Remember God hates divorce. “For the Lord God of Israel says that He hates divorce, for it covers one’s garment with violence,” says the Lord of hosts. “Therefore take heed to your spirit that you do not deal treacherously.” Mal. 2:16 NKJV

NOW WHAT. 1. “Marriage is not 50-50; divorce is 50-50 NOW WHAT? 1. “Marriage is not 50-50; divorce is 50-50. Marriage has to be 100-100. It’s not splitting everything in half, but giving everything you’ve got!” From “The Seven Laws of Love” by Dave Willis

2. Will you make a fresh. commitment of your. marriage to God. Will 2. Will you make a fresh commitment of your marriage to God? Will you decide to live by His principles!
