Love does not keep a marriage. It's wisdom, knowledge and understanding with the help of God that a marriage can survive and be great. Marriage is not easy. But God can give you wisdom. Even your speaking in tongues or anointing won't help you when marriage troubles come and it will always come. Matt 7:22-24 talked about the man who built his house on the rock and the sand. To both of them, the rain, wind and all came but only one stood. Everyone is going through stuff in marriage, some only have better wisdom to manage such

@Seun, super mods and mods
Pls What is d criteria for bringing topics to front page.
On this Sunday morning , this is d fourth Anti Christian values topic that has made it's way to the front page.
I know u can't regulate the topics that are being created, but u sure can regulate what gets publicity and wider coverage.
I have noticed there is more respect and reverence for things that pertain to Islam than things that pertain to Christianity.
It will serve everyone right that the same privileges and honour that is given to one religion should be accorded to all for a well balanced and equitable running of this platform. There has been a lot of edifying and highly engaging topics about Christian values that never gets to front page. But u don't hesitate to push some other kinds of stories to front page. It's already partial that there is a Muslim group which one must swear allegiance before one can interact there, but if good Christian topics are also stifled and relegated to d background unless they have negative connotations, people begin to think their is an agenda against Christ on this platform.
Let's do better. Thank you

Come here and share the testimony of your marital success or failure 2 decades from now. A friend of mine was thanking God 2 months after his wedding for the type of wife he has. I told him to come back in 10 years to share his testimony after they have gone through storms. Less than 5 years after the testimonies of praise, he was already reporting hia wife to her parents. In most marriages, it's either someone is riding the other or someone is being ridden. My parents have been together for almost 60 years. Both still alive today. Go and learn how to work yours. Marriage doesn't work by copyright. What works in your home may not work in mine because we are bonded to different entities. When the foundation is faulty the righteous can hardly do a thing. If you married wrong you are gone, not even your good works and sacrifices will save the relationship. It takes two to make it true.

After deceiving themselves....they couldn't bear it any more

Those are allegories ..the 'heaven' there means a certain freedom or peace that comes with a stress free life.

1 cor 7:28
But if you do marry, you have not sinned; and if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. But those who marry will face many troubles in this life, and I want to spare you this.

Read that scripture again and don't confuse people here reading it...

....and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.
— Matthew 19:12

Some choose not to marry to make heaven.

Don't twist scriptures.

Yet millions continue to follow the marital advice of pastors.

This is an interesting write up..
Marriage is dicy. If you get it right, you wonder how good the Lord has being to you; but if the other way around, you wonder how such thing would have happened to you because you believe you never planned it that way.
It's crazy, indeed.
Sorry for quoting such a long peace. It was never intended.

marriage isn't designed for humans, we're only forcing it on ourselves

I think Pastor Olumide Emmanuel should be on the list too.

Tabletuner:
I just asked the same question before seeing your comment. These people are not just enemies of the Church but mischievous 😉

No they are not. I'm a Christian too and anything church or Christian Is meant for Sunday just like Fridays are for Muslims.Were you expecting them to push it on Friday??

My observation!!!!

Why all of them married beautiful wives?

One of your numerous problems could be lack of contextual comprehension.

"...For there are eunuchs who were born that way, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by others—and there are those who choose to live like eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it..."


1. Those who are born eunuchs didn't wish that, for the sole purpose of avoiding troubles in marriage, nature just frowned at them

2. The ones who choose to live like eunuchs are not eunuchs but have an opportunity to practice one of their ways; they ain't tied to a relationship that will produce dependants; most times, these dependants go into prostitution/hookups, yahoo, arm robbery etc, eventually leading to HPB and death.
Most times a childless marriage doesn't rule out troubles, as a wife whose not independent, is also like the man's child and vice versa

3. The one who can accept these challenges should accept it

The philosopher Says for heaven's(peace) sake, people try to live like eunuchs to avoid hell(troubles)

All of them are doing better than whoever that posted this. ....and yes I'm part of the "touch not my Annointed Crew"....keep counting and they'll keep Flourishing. Leave spiritual matters to God, you won't hear!!!

3rdworldwar:
Don't die in marriage, if you can't move on.
If you kpai, your spouse will still move on.

Where did you see death from the aforementioned divorces? Did you hear that any of them were dissolved because of abuse and bartering?

You can think it's easy to move on when you never invested all in the marriage you trusted.

The good guys and ladies are always the one being cheated.

Being a eunuch for the sake of God's heavenly kingdom is my emphasis....here Jesus is talking about those who forgo any kind of marital sexual relationship for purposes of service to God and making heaven.

Marriage is a blessing from God, but many today enter into it blindly and for wrong reasons.

penearth:
Marriage is built in divine partnership. If u haven't gotten ur divine partner u will disagree to divorce. Marriage is first made in heaven before experiencing it on earth. Also marriage should be guilded around close proximity of locality to succeed not inter tribal. Also if u married non rip then u have have tolerance to live well

Oga there's nothing like Devine partnership simply choose your wife logically

They call Jesus Christ and the Apostles philosophers. They take them as too learned from the inspirations they get from their teachings

Op, what has this post added to your life? Instead of focusing on something that will bless people, you are making a mockery out of other people's misfortune. I'm sure you are not married, and if you are, you don't know what may befall your own marriage. Don't be the one who broadcast other people's misfortune. A word is enough for the wise.

PRAY THAT YOUR WIFE TAKES YOU AS HER CHILD AND YOU TAKE HER AS YOUR DAUGHTER, LOVE IS A JOURNEY NOT WORDS OF MOUTH. LOVE LEAVES BEHIND A STORY AND IS HARD WORK.

Copy the message not the messenger.

psychologist:
Marriage is not a do or die affair

Better to be separated and stay true to God than staying in a toxic marriage that won’t glorify God at the end of the day

Kudos to pastor Chris and Anita, no drama

We must also understand that marriage as an institution requires man to make it work and not God, And yes God has given us the ability to

Why are you saying kudos to them?
For having a failed marriage?
OK will you be able to advice couple that I s having a challenge in their marriages since they were looking up to you as their role model?

Marriage is a complicated institution

That was his second wife, That's was why his name is mentioned here.

gohf:
Hope the OP is happily married for years o 😁 because to criticize other people's marriages that failed for reasons you have little knowledge about is like sowing a seed you won't want to reap it's fruit later on.

Mentioning that "the Bible says “God hates divorce”, life sometimes throws curveballs, even at the anointed. These pastors stood at the altar… not once, but twice in some cases… and still ended up signing divorce papers!"

While ignoring what Jesus, the word of God said, divorce is permitted in the case of fornication and adultery, and to be frank any abusive wicked human who is selfish and sells their birthright as a child of God is a fornicator like Esau. Isn't it written do not be UNEQUALLY yoked, even Paul wrote that such union isn't binding if the unbeliever leaves.

Please let's apply wisdom, the wisdom of God, and if any lack it let them ask God for it.

Hmm I concur with you but that is only if you will remained unmarried, but the last Pastor on that list remarried.

If you marry the wrong person, if una like make two of una be pastor. Wetin go break go break.
Don't marry because of what you are looking for. When you get it, then the real marriage challenge starts.

Asides taking this particular passage out of context, you really have a poor knowledge of the script to think god's kingdom is a particular place.

The concepts of earth and heaven are same coin with two sides.

Luke 17:20-21
20 Once, on being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The coming of the kingdom of God is not something that can be observed, 21 nor will people say, Here it is, or ‘There it is because the kingdom of God is
in your midst

Isaiah 66:1
LORD says: “Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. Where is the house you will build for me? Where will my resting place be?

By virtue of gravitational law, a place you step your foot is your home.... that's why a philosopher also opinionated that the righteous will inherit the earth forever.

Marriage is a good thing. The inventor knows that it's beneficial to mankind. Unfortunately mankind think he's wiser than his maker. When parties think they are clever than half, that is the result.
