Put Jesus first in your marriage.

Thats a awesome idea. Today is my anniversery and that is what made me think about it. One peice of advice I would like to share is to stop during a conflict and think of how the other person is feeling.

Amen you always have to keep Jesus in your marriage. It does get hard at time. But just remember to put him first. Although things to get hard just keep praying and look towards God to bless your marriage. Happy anniversary.  :thumbsup: :heart:

Some advice for a happy marriage is first off there is no perfect relationship for we are unperfect ourselves.  We can strive for perfection though.  A husband should love his wife like Christ loves the church and the wife should submit to her husband.  There is a saying that a family that prays together stays together.  When you pray together and read your bible together it helps to unify the relationship.  When both of you are on one accord there is a better chance of you being strong together so the enemy can not come between you.  A marriage just like anything takes work work work.  But since you are in it for the long haul might as well put forth the effort to make it work.  Just remember anything worth having is worth working for.  It will not always be easy but just know when to bow and when to stand.  Sometimes its good just to keep silent.  To prevent arguements.  But Chirst is able to do exceedingling abundantly above all that you aks or think.  And if you delight yourself in Him He will give you the desires of your heart.  Hope this helps! ;D

No, superstitious religious advice is unneeded when secular advice is much the same, (only without the underLYING blind faith stigma).  Once again, this nonsense is incorrectly posted in the FC Suggestions forum which is unrelated to xtian marriage problems.

That's due to the religious constraints they believe in, regardless of whether they're pretending to be happily married or, actually are.  It's a subjective thing but then, so is blind religious faith.

Join a christain couples class that included couples that have been married for a long time. If couples that have been together for a long time are honest they will tell you that everyday will not be a sunny day..there may even be some dark years...but their examples (good and bad) will help you and your spouse know how to whether the storms.

In order to have a successful happy marriage in my opinion is to always have GOD as the head of your marriage. Love each other as Christ loves you. Communication is key also. No one can read minds so be open and honest. Be understanding and a good listener. Its okay sometimes to let the simple things go. The simple things can sometimes be the worst. Be careful of that. Keep your marriage exciting and spicy. Don't elt your love life go flat. Remember the things that got you to the altar and make them better. Last things, keep other people out of your marriage. People will try to tear you down but if you don't give them the bullets they can't shoot the gun! Wishing you the best!

There's no valid reason to support such an 'opinion', (which is based upon blnd faith instead of reason).  Such superstitious religious beliefs promote self-delusion, which is not conducive to any relationship.

Keep love, respect and trust interwoven in the relationship. And since it's a christian marriage, keep Christ in the center of your home life.
Title: Re: Christian Advice For A Happy Marriage
Post by: Getinonthis on October 14, 2012, 04:12:02 pm
Keep God involved in your marriage. The most important thing in a marriage is not communication (it breaks down easily) but submission, so forgive quickly, invest time in getting to know your spouse, go on dates, listen more, focus more on the positive, seek solutions instead of reasons to blame (be the coach, not the referee)... Last but not least write down important dates if you have trouble remembering them. ;D

congrats on getting married but im confused why only christian advice I know a lot of people who are in happy marriages and most of them arent christians

For those people that is up to them and I try not to get into that. The reason why I say Christian advice is because Christian relationships are much different. I know what its like to date people who are not Christians and it just does not work unless someone sacrifices their faith. I would think a buddist and a cathlic would have issues too. Thats not to say anything to souynd attacking, but their are just differences. I hope that makes sense. Thanks for the nice comment.

That is some very good advice. A lot of times relationship divisions are caused when one party refuses to see they are hurting the other party. I think a lot of times problems come because people pretend to be someone they are not when dating in order to impress the other person. However, they end up getting married and are in shock because they married a stranger. This forces them to bend into something they really did not choose. I tell people just because someone is a Christian doesn't mean they are the right one for you. You can believe many things the same and be wrong for the other person. So many people rush to get married. I told my freind if you want to spend the rest of your life together why not wait and be absolutly sure before you get married. Know who you are saying, "I do," too. A lot of people who claim to be Christian don't hold Christian values. For instance some men expect to have suprem authority and while women are supposed to be submissive they shouldn't be kicked around. Then their are women who want to work (which is fine,) but then never make time for their children.

I tell a lot of people about my elderly freind named Jack. He tells me that whenever he and his wife have a conflict they stop and pray. He has told me they have never had an arguement because of that. I talked to my husband and told him about that and he says he has an anger issue that he has to stop and release himself from it. I honestly beleive prayer and willingness to do the right thing really helps.

Its not always easy being married when you sometimes feel rejected either. I talk to a lot of couples who feel this way in their marriage. They might feel as though their spouse has let them down repeatedly. My freinds Randy and Rhythem are wanting to get married, but are miserable just being together. He is a Christian, but she has no faith in anything. He feels like he constantly has to give on everything. He stopped going to church, likely has to read his Bible away from her, and they have poor communication. As much as I think she is a sweet hearted girl I feel like he can do so much better. When he first told me about her I was so excited because Randy has been my best freind of 13 years and I couldnt wait for him to start a family so Jem and I could grow old and have nice freinds along the way. Then he told me about how she makes him feel and it becomes more clear why people shouldn't be unequally yoked. Its likely she feels neglected too, because he does not want to be with her in certain ways. I told him even though they are both nice people they are better off with other people because they don't match. I do however know when to step back and just let them do this on their own. As a freind you want to grab the steering wheel, but thats not always the right choice. I ask prayer for them.

You are laboring under a number of false impressions; one of which being that a discussion thread in a forum not owned by xtians can be construed as a 'xtian' "forum".  The superficial dismissal of someone else's "polite thoughts" can be applied under the "golden rule" to your impolite thoughts.  The inherent presumption in declaring that 'xtians' "live a different lifestyle from others" implies that it has more 'value' than other lifestyles, (when there is no evidence of this and a great deal of evidence to the contrary).

She said it is her "opinion."  She personally feels this based on her relationship with God.  Your opinion may differ, and you may have a fantastic relationship without God as the center.  Both are personal opinions and both are right to the persons involved.  It does not mean self-delusion is promoted, since the beginning of the thread mentioned an interest from those who may be Christians - so she can speak of it from her perspective. (And yes, I already know it was started in the wrong forum.)

Wrong.  For a Christian, her opinion is indeed valid and is not unreasonable because you say it is.  That is strictly YOUR opinion.  You cannot in any way whatsoever prove it to be any different from what your opinion is, based on your relationship with no deity included.  You look at it from your perspective, since that is what you know and experience, and she will look at it from her way, since that is what she knows and experiences with God as her Father/Jesus as her Savior.

You are so obstinate and petulant when someone dares to infer that you aren't completely right, or suggest looking at it objectively.  Chill out!

Thank you jcribb16 for being an understnding individual of personal beliefs. Thank you for trying to reasoning with Falcon but stop wasting your time. Falcon has a problem with CHRISTIANITY and anyone who believes in CHRIST. He will always respond in a negative way because thats the kind of person he is. Jcribb16, IN MY OPINION, Falcon needs love. He's not getting enough attention at home so he seeks it out on here. He's going about it in a negative way and that doesn't help. Lets stop responding to him.

Treat your wife as a "Queen" and she will treat you as a "KIng" 40+ years.
Never say, "You NEVER do this or that."
Don't say, "You ALWAYS do this or that."
If it won't matter in 7 days it doesn't matter now. Keep it to yourself.

That's basically what I was also trying to say awhile ago, that the advice was being asked from a Christian perspective.  Naturally those responses would come from Christians.  There were great responses, too, from people whose marriages are well, who don't base theirs on the center of God.  Those were given courteously and taken courteously. 

I agree he appears to enjoy the negative attention, but it's indeed sad that many times it's at the disadvantage of other innocent posters trying to share what's important to them.

Also if your a Christian, don't you have a spiritual Guidance person that gives advice on this and also may have classes of some sort, that you and yours can attend. That is the best person to ask I think. :angel12:

Marriage is about communication and compromise. No matter your religion, beliefs or disposition on marriage. The only way a marriage fails is if one or both people give up on the marriage. If your beliefs align that is great and when they don't you have to agree to disagree. Be truthful about what you need in your life and don't give up things that are important to you or you will blame your partner for holding you back.

All I can say is May God Bless you and your Family. For I am not a Christian and can not give advice on this matter, I am a Baptist. :thumbsup:

So "baptists" are no longer xtians now; what are they, 'satanic-baptists'?

She asked for CHRISTIAN ADVICE for a happy marriage. I AM A CHRISTIAN, so therefore i gave her MY advice based on MY CHRISTIAN beliefs.

That's irrelevant because the thread was off topic for the FC forum it was originally posted and replied to.  This specious subject/thread has since been moved to the off topic forum where superstition-based religious 'advice' can be exchanged those blinded by faith as before.

Falcon has a problem with CHRISTIANITY and anyone who believes in CHRIST.

The reaction is reasonable given the xtian-instigated atrocities of the crusades, the inquistions, witch hunts and other pograms which have resulted in the torure and deaths of millions under the banner of xtianity. 

IN MY OPINION, Falcon needs love. He's not getting enough attention at home so he seeks it out on here. He's going about it in a negative way and that doesn't help. Lets stop responding to him. I've learned in life when you ignore things and people they GO AWAY!....... Wonder if he's going to comment nice about this or be negative as always!

Why would I "comment nice" to a post which trolls and flames me for posting in rational opposition to irrational superstition?

It was still asked from a Christian perspective whether the thread was moved or not.  Moot point.

You hardly ever "comment nice" to Christians, period, and you dare ask why you would comment "nice?"  That's a joke, right?!!!  Watch it, you are admitting to being unkind in your responses.  You provoke responses and then can't take the heat - very telling...

Thank you jcribb16 for being an understnding individual of personal beliefs. Thank you for trying to reasoning with Falcon but stop wasting your time. Falcon has a problem with CHRISTIANITY and anyone who believes in CHRIST. He will always respond in a negative way because thats the kind of person he is. Jcribb16, IN MY OPINION, Falcon needs love. He's not getting enough attention at home so he seeks it out on here. He's going about it in a negative way and that doesn't help. Lets stop responding to him. I've learned in life when you ignore things and people they GO AWAY!....... Wonder if he's going to comment nice about this or be negative as always!
That's basically what I was also trying to say awhile ago, that the advice was being asked from a Christian perspective.  Naturally those responses would come from Christians.  There were great responses, too, from people whose marriages are well, who don't base theirs on the center of God.  Those were given courteously and taken courteously. 

I agree he appears to enjoy the negative attention, but it's indeed sad that many times it's at the disadvantage of other innocent posters trying to share what's important to them.

Trust me I can definatly take advice from people with different views, but I weigh the advice. I am saying this is a Christian advice for lining up with the Bible. It is not intended to be offensive, but it for Christian advice. Someone else might want muslim advice or whatever their faith is. I hope that makes sense.

There is no evidence within any of your posts that you even consider viewpoints which are different from what you see as "xtian advice".  On the contrary, there is the evidence of numerous posts in which you don't "weigh" any non-xtian advice.  Therefore, the evidence you provide contradicts your assertion.

I am saying this is a Christian advice for lining up with the Bible. It is not intended to be offensive, but it for Christian advice. 

It is offensive as it contains the inherent assumptions of a particular superstitious belief system, your own interpretations of what constitutes xtian "advice" and the sanctimonious presumption that such advice is tacitly superior to non-xtian advice, (it isn't).

Ooh, touche' now, are we?  Yes, we understand that you oppose such "self-delusions" of a "faith-blinded mind."  However, you still lack truth, clarity, and understanding, in the first place, of a Christian's walk with God.  Until then, oppose all you want, but you are self-deluding yourself if you think a Christian is feeling self-deluded in their walk with God.  That's where you think I'm being illogical with reasoning, when actually, you are being illogical in your ignorance of not understanding a true walk with God.

No, you just cannot, for the life of you, acknowledge that you got caught when I hit a nerve. 

Disregard all you want - makes no matter to me and how I live my personal life with Christ.  Your little "threats" of archived things are un-necessary, since you know the archived things of yours are there, as well. 

I am disregarding your cut downs to my teaching abilities.  I did not want to do this, but since you have tried to make me look like a stupid teacher, I feel it's open game now.  If you have a degree behind your name and you have taught in a classroom, be it elementary, middle, high, or college, then I would take your words into consideration.  Until then (and you have admitted you haven't), you are simply badgering and being ugly, and I have nothing more to say about it, at this point.

In today's society, I totally agree.  In my grandparents' day, whether Christian or not, divorce was rare.  With my parents, divorce happened a little more often, but many tried to work through their issues, also Christian or not.  Today?  Christians and dis-believers both separate and/or divorce; while many live together without marrying (which includes Christians, as well.)

Nevertheless, neither reading posts of those being "ignored", nor talking about those being "ignored" constitute ignoring.  Such are the opposite of 'ignoring' and would be using the "ignore button" in ignorance.

I will change the first part of the wording to say that I am gathering that she will still read what you have to say - some can't always resist keeping the Ignore Button on, no matter who they may be ignoring...

I see what you are saying.  Some, however, just "want" whoever it is being "ignored" to "know" they are being "ignored" by them.  If I personally, was going to ignore someone, I would do just that - ignore and not speak of them, but not everyone is the same with that thought.

Wanting someone being not-ignored to know that they're being not-ignored remains not ignoring and more than a little passive-aggressive ignorance, however.

I guess it's every person to their own way of handling it!

True; some use the "ignore button" to not ignore and gossip anyway, (the much-used 'ostrich function' of the "ignore button"), and some few actually ignore.

A happy marriage Hum, I like what someone said put the Lord first and evey thing sould fall in it's place, (a verse from the bible). The other is communition with your spouse is a key factor; At lease one of them.   :angel11:

Specious religious clap-trap based upon blind faith, false attributions and no evidence doesn't lead to a happy marriage.  Even superstitious mutual self-deception/shared deceptions don't and can't lead anywhere 'good'/beneficial.

The other is communition with your spouse is a key factor; At lease one of them.   :angel11:

Preferably verbal, rather than written "communition"?

This thread applies more to Christians from a Bible perspective. What advice do you have that you can share for a happy marriage. Please lets keep it as nice and respectable comments. Thanks a bunch.
-Jesus loves you.  :heart:
A good movie to watch is Fireproof and a good book to read is How to relate to impossible people  :thumbsup:

I agree about "Fireproof" being a good movie to watch.  :)

"Fireproof stops becoming relatable to us all and only to the already, or easily, indoctrinated."
-- Ed Gonzalez of LA Weekly

It figures why the already indoctrinated would like such a xtian propagandizing film.

Have you seen it, and agree with the quote from your personal experience of seeing the movie?

No, I also haven't drowned before and can still accurately extrapolate that it would be deadly.  In the same way, the reception of that particular propagandistic "film" was positive from xtian film critics, (what a total surprise!), they were mostly negative from mainstream critics.  Though I don't usually go by what any critics say, (either xtian or non-xtian), I had no interest in that nonsense from the nonsense's description.

A ha!  So you posted a quote with a strong opinion about something you actually had not taken part of by seeing it!  That's okay - I know that because it was filmed in the "Christian" realm of things, you would already have a pre-conceived opinion about the movie, and therefore know you would not choose to see it, period.  Understandable, for sure.

Happy marriage? Keep it simple: if you respect & love yourself,your mate should have those too. Trusting each other completely. Communicating w/each other daily & never hold anything  back no matter how hard is the subject  or issue is. Finally, do fun things to keep the relationship fresh.Getting a thoughtful surprise from your spouse just b/c whether @age 20 to 100 is priceless! :thumbsup: :wave: :heart:

Sorry I haven't gotten to this post in a while. Since you said your ending comment I wanted to ask your opinion about another topic. How do you feel about older people and younger people dating each other? For instance a 50 year old dating a 20 year old? Some people think its creepy and some think its fine. I ask because my freind Jessica is in that situation.
