MARRIAGE.
PART 1. KEY POINTS TO REMEMBER.
1. Marriage is a holy union (sanctified).
2. Marriage should be Christ-centered.
3. Traditional Christian marriage vows encompass the full spirit of God’s Law.
4. Love your neighbor as yourself, but strive to love your spouse as you love your Lord.
5. When each spouse knows their place in the marriage, and fulfills their individual responsibilities, there will be peace in their house.
6. Guard your heart against evil, and think before you speak, because what you say can be more
damaging than what you do. Anger is rarely justified.
7. If you know God’s decrees, you must obey them. By doing this, you show that you love each
other and the Lord.
8. God requires peace in the households of all His people.
9. Forgiveness is the greatest act of love. In true forgiveness, there is no remembering of falsehoods or sins that went before.
10. Do not liv in the past. Focus on the present day that the Lord has given you.
11. Everything we have belongs to the Lord. Then, what is the wife’s is the husband’s; and what is the husband’s is the wife’s, but the husband is the head of all in his house.
12. God’s plan for marriage gives us peace and balance in our lives.
13. Worldly things are not important. The order of priorities in marriage are as follows: God and Jesus FIRST; then, your spouse; then, your children.
14. Just as you separate yourself from your parents to be united to your spouse; you must also
completely separate yourself from the world and be joined to Christ.
15. Respect each other.
16. Make time for each other.
17. Pray for your spouse.
18. Trust one another. Comfort and support one another.
19. Be considerate of your spouse’s needs.
20. If a husband loves his wife and treats her with respect, she will willingly and gladly submit to him; and if the wife submits to her husband, he will feel love and respect from his wife, and he will show her even more love and respect. And it continues in this way as a harmonious circle, interconnected and dependant upon the other’s actions.
21.Children first belong to the Lord, they are only given to us under our care. They are a gift from the Lord and should be treated that way.
22. Stepchildren require extra love and understanding from all parents, including stepparents,
because of their situation.
23. Learn and liv by the Ten Commandments. Write them on your heart!
24. Reed the Bible, and study It with your spouse. God provides all answers in the Bible.
25. Humble yourself and let go of your pride.
26. Jesus is the Restoration and Healer of all things, including broken marriages. He is the “World’s Best Marriage Counselor”.

PART 2. “MARRIAGE” AS SPOKEN OF IN THE HOLY BIBLE AND
THE LETTERS FROM GOD AND HIS CHRIST.
Everything we are taught in this life, including marriage, is a preparation for our life in the future when we will liv and reign with Christ. If we follow God’s decrees regarding marriage, we will be able to better understand the kind of relationship we should have as Christ’s bride.
I have sanctified marriage, and all the world works to desecrate that which the Lord has granted as a gift. Those who liv in the ways of the Lord and follow His laws, to them marriage will be wonderful and joyful, as it was meant to be. To those who liv outside the Law, and follow the ways of the heathen, and act in the manner of demons, to these marriage is a large stone tied about their necks. For the vows taken at the marriage union encompass the full spirit of the Law. Therefore, those who forsake the Law become unequally yoked when married. They fight against themselves.
For all things bestowed on man encompass My Law, and only come to fulfillment by following its
letter. What one does becomes manifest in all aspects of his life. What one does not do likewise becomes manifest as troubles and sorrows. Blessed are those given and received in marriage who keep My commandments, for they shall experience love, compassion, understanding, much joy, and earthly fulfillment. For all those who first marry their Lord, and become the bride of Christ, shall likewise have the Lord and His Christ in their midst. For God gave to man a woman, and saw that it was very good.
So to all those who have wives, treat them as you would treat your Savior, as if He abided in your home. Love your wife as you love your God.
Wives, also love your husband as you love the Lord, and give unto him respect and supplication, as you do to your Lord. I have made him the head of his house, and you have I taken from his side.
You are part of each other, you are one, but you dwell at his side. No house can have two heads, or two wives formed from one rib. Trust in what the Lord has made and brought together. Peace is what the Lord desires of you and you of each other. Therefore, to the husband, duties for the husband. To the wife, duties for the wife. Your duties are all of equal importance, each balancing the others.
Accept what the Lord has given you, and have joy. Let go of that which you hold on to so tightly and all that you stand firm against in your relationship. Embrace your spouse, and they shall embrace you.
Did the Lord make the branches of the willow tree firm or yielding? In the yielding of its branches to the wind does it liv wholly, and not break in half. In its yielding does it spread its seed to the wind, and give shelter to those beneath its branches. It only needs a firm root structure, and to be near the Stream, wherein flows its very life. As for those in marriage who smite those near to them, with their mouths or with their hands: Woe I say to them, woe. To lash out at another with one’s tongue is worse than he who smites his beloved on her cheek. For whatever a man conceives in his heart to do that is wicked, he is already guilty, whether he acts or acts not on his evil notions. Therefore, pay close attention to those things conceived by your heart, for the tempter is ever present, waiting to devour you by that which you have conceived. Focus on your Lord continually, and the tempter shall flee from you. Then shall springs of living water flow from your heart, and love flow from your
lips. For whatever a man puts in his mouth does not defile the man, but whatsoever proceeds from his mouth, this defiles the man or exalts him in the eyes of the Lord.
If you are a man or a woman of God and are the bride prepared for His Son, you shall not write a bill of divorcement to your spouse, save for adultery. If your spouse, being far removed from God, leaves you or writes you a bill of divorcement, this is excusable, for they know not My decrees. Those who know My decrees must follow them, and will be judged by that which they had followed, and by that which they have not followed. Those who do not know the Lord shall be judged by that which they have done in their life, for I created all and all with My image. Therefore, all know right from wrong, and either choose wickedness or righteousness.
I wish that none suffer at the hand of another. I wish for joy and peace in the houses of My people.
Therefore, if your husband or wife continually bring against you much pain and sorrow with their tongue or hand, you shall then separate yourself from them, and not write them a bill of divorcement, lest they come to repentance and you have already transgressed. For the greatest of all acts of love is forgiveness, then followed by mercy and compassion. For as the Christ had suffered and died to forgive you, you shall forgive all those who have sinned against you, starting with your spouse. For if
one had a child that was unruly, disobedient and abusive toward his parents, would his parents then
write that child a bill of divorcement, and put them away? Or would that parent still love them, and
seek help from the Lord and those around them? Then when all these ungodly acts are overcome with
love and the Lord’s help, will there be much rejoicing. All evil is manifest of the evil one, and must be
overcome. Even if a spouse seeks forgiveness for adultery, you shall give it to them, for this is the way
of the Lord. If they seek forgiveness not, write your bill and let them go their way. Are My people not
forgiven of all their adulteries against the Lord if they come to Me and ask? Do I not then hold them
even closer? Remember always My children, look on others with compassion and love, because that
which you accuse them you have also done unto them, and even so to your God. Neither liv in the
past My people, for evil and resentful things abide there. Carry these things not to the present. For in a
house where these things of sin in marriage no longer liv, nor do they abound, you must let evil die!
Let it rest. It is you who give all things of your mind life, or choose to let them die and rest. Likewise
does the Lord do unto the things you have committed against Him. For in true forgiveness there is no
remembering or wondering of falsehoods that went before. Focus on this day the Lord has given you.
The Lord has only given you this present day, not yet tomorrow. Even yesterday has the Lord taken from
men. Today is yours, tomorrow is the Lord’s.
Jesus: Liv life for your God, liv the way of His Christ. Treat others as you would have them treat you.
Always trust in your Lord. I am the Way , the Truth , and the Life . He who believes in Me has
everlasting life, and during this life will I give him cups of living water to drink until I come. Then will
they who thirst, thirst no more, for I am with them forevermore. Amen. [LETTERS FROM GOD AND HIS
CHRIST • Volume 1 - “God Created Man in His Image, and from His Rib Did He Give Unto Him Woman,
and Together Shall They Liv as Two of One Flesh, With The Lord as Their Father”]

Trina, become My student and also your own teacher. Seek answers inside yourself, for I reside
there. When asking yourself of which works shall I do or do not, first ask yourself what works serve
your God best and which works has God appointed unto you already. Remember also, you are of
one flesh together with your husband.
Here is wisdom for those married, in regards to work, money and children. First remember, all is
the Lord’s and given by Him, each according to their faith. Then what is the wife’s is the husbands,
likewise what is the husband’s is the wife’s, but the husband is the head of all in his house. I require
peace in the houses of those who believe in Me. For I first made man, and then from his side did
I give unto him woman. Two of the same flesh, as one by marriage and unified by the sharing of
flesh. Two of one body with the husband as the head and the wife and children, the members.
In this is there balance, leading to peace, which brings forth even more love and time for prayer
and worship of He who is the whole body and you both its members. All members of a body are
important. The body must function in concert according to what the head has decreed. Shall the
head say to the feet, “I do not need you”, or the feet say to the head, “I do not need you”? Can the
head act without the body or the body without the head? Certainly not. When one member suffers,
all suffer. Cut off the head, then all perish. This is the same for your body, your family and the body
of Christ’s believers.
First the Lord! Then prayer and worship, followed by study of His words. Then husband, next wife,
followed by children. All other things are but a wisp of wind catching your attention, quickly passing
into nothing, remembered no more. Only life is...All things created by the Father are remembered
and abide forever in their restoration, and the Restoration am I. All things created by the hand of
man are but dust carried away by the wind, never seen of again. My peace I give to you, not as
the world gives. Amen. [LETTERS FROM GOD AND HIS CHRIST • Volume 2 - “To Each of These, Who
Have Recieved of the Truth, Is It Appointed to Put Their Lives in Order and Share All They Have Been
Given in Accordance With the Will of the Father.”]

PART 2. “MARRIAGE” AS SPOKEN OF IN THE HOLY BIBLE AND
THE LETTERS FROM GOD AND HIS CHRIST

Genesis 2: 20-24 NIV
...But for Adam no suitable helper was found. So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep
sleep; and while he was sleeping, He took one of the man’s ribs and closed up the place with flesh.
Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib He had taken out of the man, and He brought her
to the man. The man said, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called
woman, for she was taken out of man.” For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be
united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.

This I tell you, Timothy. It is indeed wrong for you to argue on My behalf without first consulting
Me. For whose behalf do you argue, yourself or that of God, your Father?
It is also wrong for your wife not to show respect to her husband in all things that are his duties
and not hers. This being all the works of shelter and money and of utmost importance, concerning
things of My Word. For I have set him as head of his home and head of the sanctification of all
who dwell there. I too have set you above all who believe in My Word, for I have called you as a
prophet and you have accepted.
Beloved, would you question Jeremiah, Daniel, John or even Moses in this way? I do not build
him up in his name, but rather say to you these were ordinary men with extraordinary duties and
messages to perform and behold to My people. To doubt the messenger is to doubt the One who
sent him also. [LETTERS FROM GOD AND HIS CHRIST • Volume 1 - “Respect Your Husband”]

This I say to you both, to put off what I have decreed is to be faithless and slothful. Only doubt and
lack of faith causes you to stumble in this way. This you already know...why do you persist? Must I
behold every word for you to follow or will you trust the heart, the new heart I have given you? For
anger can be justified, but more often it is used for evil, and by evil, for his own ends.
Timothy, make time for your wife. Do not shun her or bring her low, but raise her up. Show her even
more love. You are the head. Fulfill her requests, for it is in you to do these things and only you. I
have set before you many things and through you must they be obeyed and set forth in the times I
have commanded you. Tonight, sit together in My Word. Take extra time for each other and know
I am with you, for I will never cause you to stumble. Only the one who is against Me causes such
things. [LETTERS FROM GOD AND HIS CHRIST • Volume 1 - “Do Not Act in Anger, and Do Not
Put Off the Decrees of God - Honor Your Wife”]

PART 2. “MARRIAGE” AS SPOKEN OF IN THE HOLY BIBLE AND
THE LETTERS FROM GOD AND HIS CHRIST

Ephesians 5:22-33 NIV
Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the
head of the church, His body, of which He is the Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also
wives should submit to their husbands in everything.
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her to make her
holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to Himself as a
radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. In this same
way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves His wife loves Himself.
After all, no one ever hated his own body, but he feeds and cares for it, just as Christ does the church
- for we are members of His body. “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be
united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.” This is a profound mystery - but I am talking
about Christ and the church. However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself,
and the wife must respect her husband.

PART 2. “MARRIAGE” AS SPOKEN OF IN THE HOLY BIBLE AND
THE LETTERS FROM GOD AND HIS CHRIST

Beloved, be not contemptible toward your husband. For his works are well and good. Neither speak ill
of his ways, for he is becoming the new man I have made, with a completely new heart. For the man you
married, his ways are dead. But yet his essence remains, only now purified. Keep him not from those
things that bring him joy. For your reward is coming quickly, and to him only tribulation lies ahead. You
are his love and joy, also be not his hindrance and grief. Instead, rejoice when he rejoices and cry when
he cries. For his time is coming when his every day will be filled with all manner of grief, suffering and
hardship. His times of life’s little joys will be lost to him. Do not feel the need for recompense, for his
reward will be great in the Kingdom to come.
Likewise Timothy, do not get caught up in these joys of the world and think not of your wife. For she
should be first in your mind, save the Lord. To her show much love, respect and consideration. Trouble
her not by your doings, for you must keep the peace in your house.
Blessed are those who patiently endure for the Lord’s sake. They fulfill the promises. My love and peace
be with you both. Amen. [LETTERS FROM GOD AND HIS CHRIST • Volume 1 - “Patiently Endure With
Love and Respect Until Your Reward Comes”]

I Corinthians 13:4-8 NIV
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not selfseeking,
it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices
with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.
I Corinthians 13:13 NIV

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
1 Peter 3:1-12 NKJV

Wives, likewise, be submissive to your own husbands, that even if some do not obey the Word, they,
without a word, may be won by the conduct of their wives, when they observe your chaste conduct
accompanied by fear. Do not let your adornment be merely outward--arranging the hair, wearing gold,
or putting on fine apparel -- rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty
of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God. For in this manner, in former
times, the holy women who trusted in God also adorned themselves, being submissive to their own
husbands, as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, whose daughters you are if you do good and are
not afraid with any terror. Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the
wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not
be hindered. Finally, all of you be of one mind, having compassion for one another; love as brothers,
be tenderhearted, be courteous; not returning evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary
blessing, knowing that you were called to this, that you may inherit a blessing. For “He who would
love life And see good days, Let him refrain his tongue from evil, And his lips from speaking deceit. Let
him turn away from evil and do good; Let him seek peace and pursue it. For the eyes of the Lord are
on the righteous, And His ears are open to their prayers; But the face of the Lord is against those who
do evil.”

PART 2. “MARRIAGE” AS SPOKEN OF IN THE HOLY BIBLE AND
THE LETTERS FROM GOD AND HIS CHRIST
Viola and Carolyn, My daughters in Myself and now of Myself. Viola, behold your daughter and your
husband. Carolyn, behold your mother and your father. Daughter, of mother’s flesh and flesh of her
father’s; mother, of daughter’s flesh and flesh of her husband’s, both of each other and both of his called
Alfred, in you forever. Two become one flesh in marriage sanctified in their union, bringing forth life
given of the Father made through Me, the Son. Two have fallen asleep and two are yet awake, four
together again in the Kingdom of the Father forever. Viola, do not look on your child with contempt or
recompense, for you and your husband reside there. She is of your making, given you from the Father
under your care as a gift. Do not exasperate your child. Honor and give care to the widow, for as you
are is also she who is of your womb. I reside in her so love her as you love Me. Time is short, let love
shine. Be not tempted of the evil one. He knows you shall not give into outward things of evil, for
the Truth is with you. You see clearly outwardly. Careful, I say to you, he is a subtle deceiver working
always to exploit that which you yourself have conceived inwardly. Judge not your daughter, lift her
up and encourage her in all things of the Lord, for the Lord, and by the Lord. Peace and love is what I
require of all members of My body, which flesh you have eaten and now become. Carolyn, honor the
fifth command of the Father always and in all ways. For it is the first commandment with promise for
all children. I honor My Father, who is in Heaven, always. So shall you honor your mother and father
who will soon be in Heaven. Honor your mother, for she is also your father though he sleeps. For your
parents are two of one flesh. To honor one is to honor both. And to honor them is to honor Me and to
know the Father who is in Heaven. For I honor Him and know Him. So to obey Me is to love Me and is
to know and love the Father, by your obedience. For I am of the Father and He is of Me. So respect the
wishes of your mother and give unto her even more love. For you both are children, sisters and widows
in the family of God.
So then when you both join Me in the Father’s house you shall be no more as you are, but new. No
more widows or children or sisters or mothers and daughters. All are the bride prepared, and now
become the bride in gowns of white, the saints. So beloved mothers and daughters, make no divisions.
All wheat that belongs to Me is gathered and tied together and stored in the Master’s barn. It is the tares
that must be separated and burned. The tares grow in vain forever separated and cast out. My children,
you are the good wheat planted in the good ground. Do not uproot each other in harsh words and
judgment. Grow together in the field I have planted and is within you.
I am coming so very quickly. My sickle is in My hand. I shall reap all I have planted. Do not divide
what I have brought together and rewarded equally from My works. Be all in all one family in Christ,
and dwell together in the Kingdom of God. Amen. [LETTERS FROM GOD AND HIS CHRIST • Volume
2 - “Honor One Another as You Honor Him Who Gave You Life”]

Deuteronomy 11:18-21 NIV
Fix these words of Mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on
your foreheads. Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you
walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Write them on the door frames of your
houses and on your gates, so that your days and the days of your children may be many in the land that
the Lord swore to give your forefathers, as many as the days that the heavens are above the earth.

PART 2. “MARRIAGE” AS SPOKEN OF IN THE HOLY BIBLE AND
THE LETTERS FROM GOD AND HIS CHRIST

Beloved, come now together with your husband. You who are two must now become one in the
Lord. Come now and put away all that fills your heart with anger, and to Timothy do in like manner.
Free yourself of all judgment and contempt. Love your daughter, the daughter of your husband, with
a double portion. For children as she need all that you can give. Remember, she is My beloved child.
She is Mine, given into the world, under your care. That which is your husband’s gifts, also are yours to
have and make your own. Embrace that which you see as a burden. Love those who do not love you.
Then shall you be liken unto Me. Strive to be Christ-like in all your ways. For the world first hated Me,
yet do I love them still. The people of the world heap up their sin to heaven and burden themselves
with their evil-doings. Yet I embraced them and carried their burdens and ask them still if I may lighten
their loads.For your children you have taken out of the world, as I have asked. Faith remains in its midst.
Where does the Lord God send his shepherds? Do they stay in the barn with the sheep who are safe
and well? Or do they spend most of their time tending to those who are in the field? And those who are
sick and injured, how much more attention are those given? Beloved, you honor Me daily. I am with
you. He who is against Me is also in the world. Give him no power. He has none, only that which you
give him. Act not in haste or anger; act in love, and love shall be returned to you ten-fold. Ask of your
husband in all truth, and he will give unto you in accordance with My will. He is becoming one with
the Spirit and the Word. Make haste for I am here. Prepare the way, My feet will soon stand upon the
Mount. Amen. [LETTERS FROM GOD AND HIS CHRIST • Volume 1 - “Become of One Mind and One
Body in Christ Jesus”]

All those forgiven must be taken up...the Father does not punish those He has forgiven through Me, lest
My sacrifice be made of non-effect and all are punished and judged. If all are punished and judged,
then none are forgiven. Know this, all are forgiven. It is only their rejection of the Spirit and My sacrifice,
in which they are already forgiven, that leads them into punishment and judgment. So then those two
of one flesh, one redeemed and the other sanctified because of the other’s faith, this is the will of the
Father. Is it written in stone? Will it come to pass for all in marriage? No, for the first gift received from
the Father, following the breath of life, is free will. So the sanctification of the unbelieving spouse is the
process by which they may come to the Truth, by the example of the other. If one receives My Spirit, then
both share in its fruit. Also, if one has given into deception and darkness, both must overcome together.
If one part of your body is injured, do you ignore it because it causes you pain? No, you immediately
go to the physician to accept healing medicines through the physician’s knowledge. If one lets that
injury or sickness linger, it will spread and become diseased until the whole body dies. Amputation is
not an option, lest you go through life unwhole, with part of you missing and tossed away. Kathy and
Art, you are the children and the two become one body. Your hard times, the dark and the deceptions
of the evil one, which led to multiple injuries and great sickness in your marriage. You each forsook the
other and did not seek the physician. The physician am I! The healing medicines, My words understood
by My knowledge given through the Spirit, called Holy. The life-giving waters are the Bible and these very
Letters. You chose amputation which is divorce. Understand the fulfillment of Plan of the Ages purposed
by God...I AM THE RESTORATION OF ALL THINGS! Your Helper, your Healer, the Very Breath of Life!
All life lived in Me will never die! I am the Light of the World that the darkness can never put out. I AM!
Amen. [LETTERS FROM GOD AND HIS CHRIST • Volume 3 - “Restoration in Marriage”].

1 Corinthians 7:3-5 NKJV.
Let the husband render to his wife the affection due her, and likewise also the wife to her husband. The wife
does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. And likewise the husband does not have
authority over his own body, but the wife does. Do not deprive one another except with consent for a time,
that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again so that Satan does not tempt
you because of your lack of self-control.

Mark 10:7-9 NKJV.
“For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become
one flesh’; so then they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not
man separate.”

1 Timothy 3:1-12 NIV (A GOAL FOR MEN)
Now the overseer must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, self-controlled,
respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not
quarrelsome, not a lover of money. He must manage his own family well and see that his
children obey with proper respect. (Although this verse refers to deacons and overseers, the
qualities listed would be admirable for any husband and family man). *NOTE: Are not these
also the qualities of Christ who is the Bridegroom? He is our example in all things.

Proverbs 31:10-31 NIV The Wife of Noble Character (A GOAL FOR WOMEN)

A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies. Her husband has
full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value. She brings him good, not harm, all the days
of her life. She selects wool and flax and works with eager hands. She is like the merchant
ships, bringing her food from afar. She gets up while it is still dark; she provides food for her
family and portions for her servant girls. She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings
she plants a vineyard. She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks.
She sees that her trading is profitable, and her lamp does not go out at night. In her hand she
holds the distaff and grasps the spindle with her fingers. She opens her arms to the poor and
extends her hands to the needy. When it snows, she has no fear for her household; for all of
them are clothed in scarlet. She makes coverings for her bed; she is clothed in fine linen and
purple. Her husband is respected at the city gate, where he takes his seat among the elders of
the land. She makes linen garments and sells them, and supplies the merchants with sashes.
She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come. She speaks with
wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue. She watches over the affairs of her household
and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband
also, and he praises her: “Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all.” Charm
is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. Give
her the reward she has earned, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate. *NOTE:
These verses are not only for a wife of noble character, they are what Jesus, the Bridegroom,
requires of His bride (His church), who are all those who believe and love Him.

Part Three, Marriage and The Ten Commandments

We know that keeping the Ten Commandments is critical if we are going to have a happy, healthy
life. Keeping God’s Law will also bless your marriage. For instance, the Commandments one through
three regard respect and love for the Lord. If both spouses keep these commands, your marriage
will be strong with God at its center. Also, if this same respect and love that you show to your Lord
is shown to your spouse, your marriage will be blessed. If you keep Commandment number four,
keeping the Sabbath holy and as a day of rest, you will have a restful day of spiritual rejuvenation
with your Lord and your spouse, and your marriage will be blessed again. Commandment five,
honoring your father and mother, is also a matter of respect and that same respect should be
shown to your spouse. The final five Commandments regarding murder, adultery, stealing, lying
and envying, are all self-evident. If you keep these commands, you will have a much easier life and
a more blessed marriage. If one or both spouses break any of these commandments, the result will
be great pain and confusion and chaos in the family. God gave us these commands as a blessing
for us, to keep us from pain. If we hold true to all of them, we will be blessed and our marriage will
be blessed and our family will be blessed. (The Ten Commandments are listed in Exodus 20: 1-17)

FROM JESUS CHRIST, OUR LORD & SAVIOR:
COME AND SHARE IN THE LORD’S JOY.

So then beloved, all My children given in marriage in My name, love one
another and wash each other’s feet. I gave up everything unto death so you
could all become My bride, My church. So come and partake of that which
I offer you and know Me. Then will you come to love Me, and to love Me is
to love the Father who sent Me. For I have asked for your hand in marriage,
and the Father has given you to Me. I have paid the ransom, built a great and
beautiful house for you...come and be where I am, forever united as one in
love, for the Father’s joy. Submit in all things I ask of you, and your joy will
be fulfilled. The union you seek is already here and dwells within you. Let our
love grow until I return...
The trumpet will sound...
All will be gathered and given gowns of white.
Behold the glorious wedding party,
All seated before the Father in the tabernacle of Heaven for His glory.
Let us be joined together, no longer separated,
All as one in Christ in His Kingdom... Life without end. Amen.
