Hi there, Diamond Glamour Girls;
Love and B are just being their pre-marital counseling. B is excited about all the possibilities of
being a wife, while Love is feeling all the pressure and responsibility of
becoming a husband. Why do you think
they are on opposite sides of the beginning of their marriage? Are men mad more responsible than women in
their marriage? Maybe women see marriage
as all the great and wonderful things in life.
God’s best so to speak. Do men
see themselves as Gods best when they are individuals. All of these questions are what counseling
helps address. It also helps the couple
transitions from singlehood to married couple.
A good counsel helps the couple define their roles as individual, within
the marriage and allow the person to become who they really are and want to
become.
Love arrived at Pasto B’s office at 4:30 right on time. They went through all the normal formalities
when you are meeting another person.
Pastor B: “Shall we get to the reason you are here?”
Love: “Sure.”
Pastor B: “Did you
bring your Bible? Here is the workbook I
want you to go through with me. B
already received hers. As you can see it
will take us several weeks to go through the workbook. The workbook is divided in several
sections. The beginning it is
discovering what God expects of you, as a man of God, what he expects of you as
a Husband. We will talk about some of it;
for other parts of it will we will be with other couples getting married. We want you to feel a part of our church and
have friends to fellowship with as a couple.
Let’s start with Integrity.
What do you think it means?
Love: That my actions and my words are the same.
Pastor B: Let’s look
at what God says about integrity Gen: 20: 5 “Did he not say to me. “ She is my
sister? And she even she herself said, ‘He is my brother’ In the integrity of
my heart and innocence of my hands I have done this.” What do you think this verse means?
“In all things showing yourself to be a pattern of good
works; in doctrine showing integrity, reverence, incorruptibility” Titus 2:7
Both of these verses play a big part in a marriage. It is
important to know them and to have them as a part of who you are. B will demand them and she should. I would like you to send time this week
thinking about what integrity means in today’s world. How would you apply this today? Work life? Marriage? Family life?
Also in planning your wedding.
Love: This is so much
to deal with. I am not sure, what you’re
asking for. Do I have to think about
this all the time? Are you asking me to talk to everyone about “Integrity”?
