The blessings of parents and family in marriage

July 3rd, 2008 by Pele Odiase Dating relationships, marriage love christian family

The first commandment given by God with a promise is that we should honour our parents so that our days may be long, regardless of what kind of parent one may have had. They may not have been the best or may have failed woefully in their responsibilities; the bible still commands that we honour them. This can be a difficult pill to swallow in our society today where some kids hardly know their parents and some are born in dysfunctional families. It would take the grace of God to heal scars and wounds inflicted on children in such situations. Read the rest of this entry »

The dictionary defines a friend as a close or intimate acquaintance, well-wisher or supporter. We make friends in school, places of work and worship, social gatherings etc. Some friends we out grow, some we lose contact with, some become close rivals and sworn enemies while there are the few that the bible refers to as friends that sticks closer than a brother.

Knocked down but not out

May 2nd, 2008 by Pele Odiase Dating relationships, marriage love christian family

The last round of the boxing bout seemed to last forever. I thought it would never come to an end. My best effort got me a silver medal but the blows I endured were worth much more than that. The three rounds of three minutes required over 6 months training, exercise, endurance runs and weight loss. It unbelievable the amount of training nine minutes in the ring required. In boxing, it really doesn’t matter how many times you get knocked down, what matters is getting back up again. Read the rest of this entry »

A straight answer could be, “if you’re asking these questions then you are not ready to get married!” While there may be some truth in that response but it may not always be the case.

Getting married is a very big step to take, probably the biggest and most important decision you’ll ever take.
