HA Ha ha, Understatement of the century, Rene - we are going on 22yrs in Dec - been difficult most of the time, getting rid of history was our challenge - understanding woman are to be treated as weaker does not mean they are weak ....

thank you Ian! what a great way to see that verse. i will keep that mind that she is NOT weak at all (and she's not ;D) and take the scriptures at heart. i see that word "weak", i see ME all in that. Jesus said, "Watch and Pray that you enter not into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the FLESH IS WEAK" (Matthew 26:41). the word is the same in 1 Peter; so she may be the "weakER vessell" but I AM WEAK AS WELL. and the only way i can dwell with her in any kind of strength; is in the strength Jesus GIVES through His spirit. so i will keep that in mind. she may be weaker but i am weak right along with her. I will keep prayer first and foremost in my life in this marriage and learn as i live; that i am too weak to NOT pray and seek the word of the Lord. Paul tell us to "support the weak(er)" (1Th 5:14). and then gives us a mighty principle --- "...God has CHOSEN the weak things of the world to CONFOUND THE 'mighty'..." (1Cor 1:27). OH I LOVE SCRIPTURE! ;D ;D.
side note; it appears God truly chooses the weak things ('women') of the world to CONFOUND (shame down, disgrace) the MIGHTY (so called men of this age ::) ::)). ;D ;D ;D oh the wisdom of God.
again thank you. oh yea, i chose a wedding band that has the full "lord's" prayer inscribed on it ;D ;D. and i love it. so now i can "literally" WATCH AND PRAY. or maybe i should buy a watch that has the prayer on it.....hmmm..... ::) :P

WOW! Spoken like a humble man. You're well on your way to a successful marriage, my friend.
You're gonna be fine!
(Now go have some good "lawful" sex!! I'm just a little jealous. >:( )

Congrats on your upcoming marriage!!! pick your battles, Listen often, and of course the best medicine is unconditional love for your wife, no matter what sins has been committed. depending on the suitation of course..but for most normal problems, some run, some stay, but it is better to fix the problems, big or small, than to run away when it gets too hard and find another.
We need to know we are loved, in spite of the mistakes or choices we make. God does this for us, we should do it for our spouses, our families, our friends, our enemies, and so on... Just be there through good and bad times.
Congrats again!
