MARRIAGE MATTERS

This show is for those involved in a hurting marriage, or for those who may know of a hurting married couple. My name is Jeff Grant. I have been divorced twice from marriages that were rushed into, and am now married to the one woman The Lord has pre-destined from the start for me to spend the rest of my life with. We married after being together 12 1/2 years on 11/11/11 at the 11th hour. We had actually broken up three times before, but the end result was always the same. Neither of us could imagine life without the other. We were brought through the fire together, and after the third breakup experienced the most beautiful, close, and blissful marriage.

There are many important factors in a successful marriage, and the most important of all is your personal relationship with Jesus Christ #1, and the relationship with your spouse #2, and the comitment of Christ to the drivers seat of your marriage, and binding your lives and your home together in His love.

It is also important to know what love is. I encourage you to open your Bible to I COR 13:1-13 which clearly defines what love is really all about. The most significant realization of that passage is that "Love NEVER fails". If it is true love, you simply cannot kill it no matter what. If you say "I do not love you anymore" then you have never really loved to begin with.

It is too easy to get a divorce in our world today. In fact my first wife was able to divorce me without my signature on ANY of the paperwork. It is too easy to say "Maybe we should just end this, and move on". Once you have exchanged your wedding vows, divorce should NEVER be considered an option. In both of my cases it was not I who initiated the divorce. I take vows that are made before The lord God Almighty very seriously, and so should you.
