Performed by Pastor Jim Clark
"Marriage presents you with
many choices. I'm thinking of choices or responses you
will make to each other in the course of daily living.
You will observe each other's accomplishments or successes
as well as your failings. By focusing on the others failings
you will tend to imprison each other, but by focusing
on your accomplishments and successes you will release
each other to grow and mature in your relationship."
"Let me share four things that I believe are imperative
for a growing and exciting marriage. You must imprint
them on your mind by remembering that when you put the
first letter of each word together it spells BEST."
Bless
- Speak well of each other often. Express and share appreciation
for the small things as well as the big things they do
for you.
Edify
- Cheer each other on in every area of life. This will
encourage, strengthen and bring harmony and peace. Never
criticize or tear each other down.
Share
- Share your hearts and feelings everyday with each other.
Another word for sharing is communication. Take time each
day to focus attention on each other. Learn to listen
to what each other means as well as what they say. Learn
to ask questions which will help reduce stress in your
mate. Questions like: "How are you doing today?",
"How are you feeling?" "Is there any way
I may be of help?"
Touch -
Marriage is a hands-on relationship. Let there be plenty
of caressing, hugging, touching and kissing.
"Remember! You both chose THE BEST! Take care of each other
the way you want to be cared for." |
