When asked why most people get married, they might say it's because of love. Are we more interested in giving love, or do we love how the other person makes us feel?

If you don't love God, you can't love your spouse. The reason is that God is love.

At most, without God, you like someone. The problem with that is that it is based on emotion.

Often, we confuse love with like. Emotions are based on conditions that, if not met, can often lead to disappointment rather than a commitment to unconditional love.

It's not that you love chocolate cake; it's just that you like how it makes you feel when you eat it.

Love is a decision regardless of emotion. The act of love involves compassionately, righteously, and responsibly seeking the well-being of others.

What if you had someone who was specifically made to help you achieve your goals, dreams and your purpose? The good news is you might already be married to that person.

In this video, we'll be discussing how God gives us helpers who are fit for us. This great couple Bible study will help you understand each other better and grow closer to God.

Let's talk about it...

Marriage is a sacred covenant between a man and a woman, and the Bible has much to say about making it work. 

Husbands and wives must be mindful of their spouses' needs and desires. In Genesis 2:18, we learn seven important lessons that can help improve our marriages.

Genesis 2:18 (NLT)

Then the LORD God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper who is just right for him.”

Too often marriages reach the point of divorce not because of one explosive event but a slow dissolution that happens when couples aren’t intentional about connecting. That's why God said it is not good for man(kind) to be physically alone in this world.

Alone means existing apart from, or exclusive of, others.

We were created for community, and being alone goes against our nature.

God designed us to need others and to be in a community with others. When we're alone, we cannot experience the fullness of life God intends for us. We miss out on the joys and blessings of relationships.

We learn seven important tips for helping each other in our marriages in Genesis 2:18.

Does the Bible instruct us to pursue our spouse?

Usually, police use the term "heavy pursuit" to describe chasing a suspect while driving. If necessary, this can include speeding, running red lights, or taking other measures to stop the suspect.

While our wives are not suspects, Genesis instructs us to cleave, stay close, join together, hold fast, chase after, and even pursue them.

Are You Ready for Marriage? 5 Important Pre-Marriage Questions You Should Be Asking

When friends and family notice that you have been dating someone for a while, they often ask when you are getting married. How do you know if you are ready to get married?

Marriage is a beautiful institution created by God. It is designed to be a lifetime commitment between a man and a woman.

Marriages today often fail due to couples simply not understanding how to communicate effectively about sensitive topics.

The foundation for a stable marriage can be laid by asking and answering difficult questions during your courtship.

God should always be the center of any marriage. But what happens when you try to fill God's place in your life?

The importance of marriage and the need for selflessness in marriage are highlighted in this week's study of Matthew 19: 3-8. 

Marriage will not always be easy, but we can work through any issue with patience and understanding and God.

Can a love song teach you how to love your spouse better?

The song we are referring to is One Hundred Ways by James Ingram.

Fun Fact: 

The song was written by songwriter Kathy Wakefield, producer Ben Wright, and Tony Coleman.

James Ingram was discovered (or maybe uncovered) by producer Quincy Jones to appear on his 1981 album, “The Dude.” Jones discovered Ingram on a demo of “Just Once,” written by Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil, which he sang for $50.

One Hundred Ways lyrics:

Compliment what she does

Send her roses just because

If it's violins she loves

Let them play

Dedicate her favorite song

And hold her closer all night long

Love her today

Find one hundred ways

Don't forget there could be

An old lover in her memory

If you need her so much more

Why don't you say?

Maybe she has it in her mind

That she's just wasting her time

Ask her to stay

Find one hundred ways

Bein' cool won't help you keep a love warm

You'll just blow your only chance

Take the time to open up your heart

That's the secret of romance

Sacrifice if you care

Buy her some moonlight to wear

If there's one more star she wants

Go all the way

In your arms tonight

She'll reflect that she owes you

The sweetest of debts

If she wants to pay, find one hundred ways

(Repeat)

You better believe it or love her today

Find one hundred ways

I'm telling you to love her today

Find one hundred ways

Oh, love her, love her, lover her

One hundred ways

Yeah, you've got to love her today

Find one hundred ways

It is not uncommon for couples to experience variations in sexual activity in their marriage. But what do you do when there is no activity at all?

The most common response married couples give when they have been repeatedly rejected by their spouse is frustration, hurt, and even anger.

A healthy marriage can have varying levels of sexual intensity and frequency of sexual activity. 

Nevertheless, the relationship may suffer if your spouse does not initiate sex with you regularly and does not respond to your affectionate advances.
