Having a
Godly
Marriage

Six Basic Tenets for Marriage by Vonette Bright

Bill Bright asked me to marry him on our very first date! No, he wasn’t the impetuous sort. We had grown up in Coweta, Oklahoma, and we knew each other very well. Bill said he never wanted anyone else to be his wife. For several reasons, we waited for three years to be married.

During that time, we learned a Godly marriage requires the couple to commit to seven basic tenets.

1. Be sure you're ready for marriage. Don't rush into a relationship
2. Be certain each of you has received Jesus Christ into your life
3. Be filled and controlled by the Holy Spirit. Allow Christ to be in control of your individual lives and marriage
4. Have family devotions daily
5. Pray together
6. A Godly marriage requires mature partners, so stop pouting!
7. Be sure you have eyes for no one else

Friend, build your marriage on Christ. The closer you are to Him, the closer you will be to each other.

Are you ready to strengthen your marriage?

Life has a way of overwhelming a marriage. Jobs, kids, activities, errands. Before you know it, checking your e-mail is more important than carving out a date night.
