One Flesh

Dating…One would say it’s exciting and that they feel butterflies, especially when new love is growing and the relationship is off to a great start, and heading towards marriage. This is all well and good but I do have to say BE AWARE…BE ALERT…BE ON RADAR…ALWAYS.

In the book of Genesis God created the Heavens and the Earth He created flourishing life: springs of water, plants and trees, animals of the air, sea and land, creatures that move along the earth, God saw that this was good. Then he made a man Adam and from Adam’s rib God made women who was Eve a help mate for it was not good for man to be alone and created them after everything was made well then God brought people upon the earth.

1 John 4:8 NIV Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. Scripture says Mark 10:6-9 NIV “But at the beginning of creation God ‘made them male and female’. For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be untied to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.’ So they are no longer two but one. Therefore what God has joined together let no man separate.”

This is the first attempt the enemy came to destroy, a relationship between a man and a women, because the enemy knows how strong a couple who stands together in the word and brings more life to the earth by having children and then increasing in numbers to potentially shut down the schemes of the enemy. So this is why it is important that you know this. Always be on guard for the enemy lurking he’s sly and serpent like so space between a couple will begin when your naive and unaware, keeping your relationship healthy is the key to keep the evil one away. A healthy relationship represents strength and this remember will save your marriage whether you’ve been married 1 week, 1 month, 1 year, 10 years or 50 or more you always need to cover your selves in prayer and being held together with the Lords promises He has laid out for all of us in the word.

We need to continue to date one another to keep fresh love alive and as years pass awaken love that has rested and keep it renewed and well. This message is a loving warning to guard your relationship keep it safe and protected don’t allow your relationship to falter or fall ill. So cover together in prayer, pray for one another, pray as a team.

Team by definition: to come together as a team to achieve a common goal. Join, collaborate, get together, work together, unite, combine, cooperate, and link.

On another note don’t allow other things to take priority over your mate, as my husband and I put it, don’t give each other the left overs, give each other the best parts of you. A crumbling relationship starts with slowly losing sight of the person you fell in love and why you fell in love with them in the beginning and from there more and more space gets put between, excuses of I worked hard today, I was up late with the kids and back and forth until one or both have had enough and can’t figure out how you got there in the first place or how to get back to a beautiful fresh love place you once were at when your love began.

Remember why you fell in love remember to allow the other person to know you care about them and love them. Show them…too many times the word love is abused and over used the meaning begins to deplete and loose its significance, don't abuse the word love, focus it into action, sometimes just the little things you do for one another is enough, appreciate each other even when your spouse uses a small gesture to express there love, not everything has to be extravagant. (send them a love letter, a little note in their lunch, a text message just to say I miss you, can't wait to see you, bake cookies, do one of her chores, rub her feet, draw her a bath and all visa versa).

1 Peter 4:7-9 7 The end of all things is near. Therefore be clear minded and self-controlled so that you can pray. 8 Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers, over a multitude of sins. 9 Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling.
