How To Be Married To Your Sweetheart

1Therefore if there is any encouragement in Christ, if there is any consolation of love, if there is any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and compassion, 2make my joy complete by being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose.

Philippians 2:1-2

Where has the love gone?

Is the dream still

alive?

How Can You Be Married to Your Sweetheart?

When was the last time you praised or encouraged your significant other with encouraging words?

1. Encourage One Another

“Man doesn’t live by bread alone.

He also needs buttering up.”

-Anonymous

“I just praised them too much!”

Philippians 2:1Therefore if there is any encouragement in Christ, if there is any consolation of love…

2. Comfort One Another

“Oh, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person; having neither to

weigh thoughts nor measure words, but to pour them all out, just as they are, chaff

and grain together, knowing that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and then, with the breath

of kindness, blow the rest away.”

Philippians 2:1Therefore if there is any encouragement in Christ, if there is any consolation of love, if there is any fellowship of the Spirit…

3. Spending Time With One Another

Romans 8:26

Fellowship Involves

TIME

So what is the “quality time” myth? It’s as phony as the fake diamond

in a one-dollar ring. The fact is, there is no quality without

quantity.Too many parents live with the regrets

of abandoned moments. It takes time to be silly, share a secret, to heal a hurt, to

kiss away a tear.

Moments of uninhibited communication between child and parent, or husband and wife, cannot be planned; they just

happen. The only ingredient we bring to that dynamic of family life is our

availability …and that is spelled T-I-M-E.”

David Jeremiah

Philippians 2:1Therefore if there is any encouragement in Christ, if there is any consolation of love, if there is any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and compassion…

4. Be Tender and Compassionate to One Another

Literally refers to our insides

Always shows up on the outside

What is Tenderness & Compassion?

This floor is just to show that women are impossible to

please.

Philippians 2:2…make my joy complete by being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose.

5. Have A Good Attitude

Don’t hope my friend,Decide!
