THE SPIRIT OF MARRIAGE

Summary

THE SPIRIT OF MARRIAGE

What provides Joy?

Proverbs 14:13 Even in laughter the heart may ache, and rejoicing may end in grief. Psalm 16:11 You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.

Sustainability of Joy

Seeking Joy elsewhere? Proverbs 5:18-20  18 May your fountain be blessed, and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth. 19 A loving doe, a graceful deer— may her breasts satisfy you always, may you ever be intoxicated with her love. 20 Why, my son, be intoxicated with another man’s wife? Why embrace the bosom of a wayward woman?

THE SPIRIT OF MARRIAGE Point 1

Joy defined? Webster’s New World Dictionary: Synonymous with "happy," "glad," and "cheerful." A thesaurus relates it to "exultation,“ “rapture,” "satisfaction" and "pleasure.“ Webster's specifically defines it as "a very glad feeling; happiness; great pleasure; delight." It also refers to the source or cause of delight.

Makarios
