MARRIAGE HOMILY OUTLINE
POSTED 09022007
 
LOVE IS NOT A FEELING IT’S AN ACTION

 

IF YOU WANT A MORE LOVING MARRIAGE LOVE YOUR SPOUSE MORE…

 

LOVE IS THE ONLY THING THAT INCREASES AS YOU GIVE IT AWAY…THE MORE EACH OF YOU LOVES THE OTHER, THE MORE LOVE YOU WILL RECEIVE (PEOPLE SAY I’M NOT IN LOVE ANY MORE OR I DON’T FEEL IN LOVE OR I DESERVE LOVE IN MY LIFE… THE ANSWER TO ALL OF THESE COMPLAINTS IS TO LOVE THE OTHER PERSON MORE AND THE LOVE WILL COME BACK)

 

GIVEN A CHOICE BETWEEN MAKING YOURSELF LOOK BETTER AND MAKING YOUR SPOUSE LOOK BETTER ALWAYS MAKE YOUR SPOUSE LOOK BETTER. THE MORE PEOPLE ADMIRE YOUR SPOUSE THE BETTER YOU LOOK.

 

SUCCESSFUL MARRIAGE IS NOT A MATTER OF FINDING THE RIGHT PERSON, IT’S A MATTER OF BEING THE RIGHT PERSON

 

JESUS COMMANDS US TO LOVE…WE’RE TO LOVE GOD AND LOVE ONE ANOTHER

 

LOVING GOD COMES FIRST BECAUSE IT’S ONLY BY LOVING GOD THAT WE ARE ABLE TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER EVEN WHEN IT’S TOUGH

 

HERMAN AND CONNIE YOUR MARRIAGE ACCORDING TO STATISTICS HAS A 50/50 CHANCE OF SUCCESS

 

DON’T BE A STATISTIC

 

OUR GOSPEL EXPLAINS HOW THINGS WORK IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD

 

JESUS SAYS IF YOU FOLLOW HIM YOU WILL LIVE IN HIS LOVE AND BE FILLED WITH JOY. THEN HIS LOVE WILL POUR OUT OF YOU AND INTO YOUR SPOUSE AND YOUR MARRIAGE WILL BE FULL OF JOY

 

FOLLOWING CHRIST MEANS LOVING OTHERS MORE THAN OURSELVES

 

IF YOU FOLLOW CHRIST AND LOVE YOUR SPOUSE MORE THAN YOURSELF YOUR MARRIAGE WILL BE A PHENOMENAL, JOYFUL SUCCESS.

 

AMEN.
