Marriage is no different, sometimes you have to clean things up. You know why the dust is able to settle? It is because there is no activity. Furniture is stationary. Marriages are not designed to be stationary, they are to be active, alive and full of power. “Dust” can’t settle on an active relationship. You can restart by purposing to see your wife as you used to and work towards doing things with her that you did in the past that excited her. And not just her but the both of you.

A loveless situation can be changed with lots of work. But the work does not have to be difficult, it can be fun. Start communicating with each other, find out at what point in your marriage the dust began to settle and then reverse the situation. Read my post save your marriage in 3 words, see my about page for support. Don’t give up, the same you that loved her with passion in the past is still there, it just needs to be jump started and the same for her. May God bless your efforts and bring unity and a new fire in the relationship.

A Christian marriage is one of the most common kinds of union that a couple can be tied through. The ceremonies are very traditionalistic, with a vow being exchanged between a man and woman. If you are preparing to be married, chances are many of the primary traditions are Christian in origin.

A Christian marriage starts long before the couple says ‘I do’. In order to be wed in many churches, you will be demanded to attend counseling, so that the minister of the church can appraise and solidify your position in the church. The minister can, at any time, choose not to wed a couple for religious regions, although this is becoming quite infrequent. Many churches will not wed a couple unless at least one member of the marriage party is a member of the church, although this varies from church to church and denomination to denomination.

When you are united in a Christian marriage in a church by the leader of that church, the ceremony itself is usually attended by numerous members of the church. While numerous churches will do personal weddings, numerous of them are opened up to the faithful as a whole, as the wedding ceremony tends to be associated with a small sermon concerning marriage and the biblical duties of both man and wife.

There are many things that you can anticipate from a Christian marriage. The conventional roles of a marriage party are needed, ranging from the Maid or Matron of Honor, the Best Man, as well as the brides maids and other attending men. A flower girl and ring bearer are also used. A man of standing close to the bride may stand in for the Father if he is unavailable. In some cases, a deacon of the church may fill this position if necessary, as the giving away of the bride is allegoric in the Christian belief.

There are some aspects of a Christian marriage that differ depending on denomination or type of Christianity. Baptist and Methodist faiths are more casual than Catholic, with Catholic churches following a more strict and longer process of ceremonies.

If you desire a Christian marriage, you will need to plan ahead. As churches will need a lot of warning to prepare for such a ceremony, you can expect at least several months before you can be wed to your bride or groom. Counseling may also add to the length of time, dependent on how your pastor feels about the relationship, and what the couple needs to learn prior to commitment.

In order to be suitable for a Christian marriage in a church, the couple in question should not live together prior to the marriage ceremony, as this goes against the primary beliefs of the church.

Well designer handbags would obviously mean that it is designed by a designer and is thus a brand. For instance; Chanel, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Chloe, Marc Jacobs, Hermes, MiuMiu, Versace, Bottega Veneta, Christian Dior, Balenciaga, Celine, Thomaswyld, Dolce & Gabbana, or Coach they all are famous designer or branded handbags.

Now for the term, inspired I thought that these handbags would have taken inspiration from brands (some of which I mention above). But on searching them out on various online stores I found it completely a different story. Here all handbags that were called as replica handbags were exact copies of branded ones. I mean they looked the same to me. So what is the logic of calling them “designer inspired handbags” it was then I decided to purchase one of them to figure it out. I ordered one of Chanel replica handbag on runwayhandbag.net. When I received this handbag I understood the whole concept all at a sudden. Well you see the Chanel replica handbag I was carrying in my hand was exact copy but it was not just the look that was a copy but also the feel and essence of material, each single detail of design, colour, shape and size. In other words I felt I was carrying a branded Chanel handbag.

That is why they tribute these handbags calling them as designer inspired handbags.

In an increasingly secular world, it can be very tough finding a Christian mate. How do you know if the person you meet in the office or the bistro shares your inner beliefs of the Christian religion.

Sure, it’s quite easy to meet someone who may share a hobby or some other physical activity with you. How about the spiritual side? Where will you meet someone who can pray with you and attend church with you on Sundays, rather than convincing you that keeping the Sabbath holy is an ancient obsolete requirement?

Probably the only place where you can be quite certain that you can make a safe choice is in your own church itself. But your church may not someone of a compatible age. Back to square one.

Well, I found this site that helps Christian singles above 30 years to find a suitable partner.

Go ahead and check it out. The perfect wife or husband that God has in mind for you could be here…

God bless you in your effort to find a spouse to love and cherish till death do you part.

It has some really good things to consider. But the gist of that post is everyone has the right to make a choice. If you are not actively pursuing a way to resolve that situation you have chosen to live in misery. No on has the right to make you miserable, we give them the opportunity. Active resolution is different, it means that you don’t like the situation and you are determined to make it work or break it off. Doing nothing creates a living hell and that is certainly not how God wants us to live.

Please consider getting couseling. If you see my about page there are resources there for practically any marriage situation you could be experiencing. Life is too short, take charge now and make the best of it, hopefully with your relationship restored.

With out any warning a  great storm struck their boat. And the disciples cried to Jesus “Lord Save us we are going to drown”.  Many times we think following Jesus is bed of roses and we are on high way to heaven with out any problems. Not so my beloved let us see what happens in this portion of the scripture Matthew 8:23-27.

“Then he got into the boat and his disciples followed him. Without warning, a furious storm came up on the lake, so that the waves swept over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. The disciples went and woke him, saying, “Lord, save us! We’re going to drown!”  - Matthew disciples Just followed Jesus like us following him, because they trusted him and obeyed his word. All of these disciples left their old way of life, some left their fishing Jobs to follow Jesus, some left their Tax collecting Job to follow Jesus, Some left their boats to follow Jesus, Some left their parents to follow Jesus. What have you left behind to follow Jesus, I have left my old way of sinful life to follow Jesus, some of us have left their age old traditions to follow Jesus, In some countries people are even risking their very life to follow Jesus. Like the disciples when we choose to follow Jesus we choose to take his new Life which he has offered even if we have to pay a cost by saying good bye’s to some of our old way of Life. These disciples were filled with great Joy because they were following Jesus.

Storms in life does not come with warning, Yes here also a great storm hit their boat, Are you today facing storms in your Life which came unexpected in to your safe journey with Jesus?, But my dear friends you need not worry, Just check whether you have the Master in your Boat. The disciples had the savior in their Boat. If you are reading this, who does not have Jesus in your Heart, Please ask him to come in to your Life, He want to board your Life’s Journey to carry you to the other end. He has prepared a glorious place for us in Heaven. But if you have Jesus in your Life, Fear not my brothers and sisters Just call unto is the way to call him and let him know that you need help from him to stop this storm in your Life. Is the Economy storm threatening your life boat, Is the storm in your Marriage threatening your family, Is the doubt and fear storm threatening you, Is the fear of losing Job threatening you, Call the Master now.  Call his name Jesus, his name literally means savior. He will deliver you.

“Because he loves me,” says the LORD, “I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.  He will call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. - Psalm 91: 14-15

So like every one in this world we will also face storms in our Life, But we need not fear as long as he is in our boat. When the disciples cried to Jesus for help he stood up and rebuked the storm. And the sea was calm. He will also stop the storms in your Life that is threatening your very existence. Fear not my beloved. He has all authorities is given to him.

He replied, “You of little faith, why are you so afraid?” Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm. The men were amazed and asked, “What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him!” Matthew He is with you in the Storm (He will never leave you nor forsake you)

* His Grace is sufficient for you

* He has the Power and Authority to protect you and carry you.

Like the disciples if you ask Who is this who can stop storms in my Life, He is the Son of God Jesus, The author of Life. who came to this world to save us.

Lyrics:

When the music fades
And all is stripped away
And I simply come
Longing just to bring
Something that’s of worth
That will bless your heart

I’ll bring You more than a song
For a song in itself
Is not what You have required
You search much deeper within
Through the ways things appear
You’re looking into my heart

I’m coming back to the heart of worship
And it’s all about You
All about You, Jesus
I’m sorry Lord for the thing I’ve made it
When it’s all about You
It’s all about You Jesus

King of endless worth
No one could express
How much You deserve
Though I’m weak and poor
All I have is Yours
Every single breath

I’ll bring You more than just a song
For a song in itself
Is not what You have required
You search much deeper within
Through the way things appear
You’re looking into my heart

I’m coming back to the heart of worship
And it’s all about You
All about You, Jesus
I’m sorry Lord for the thing I’ve made it
When it’s all about You
It’s all about You Jesus

Its all about you Jesus
