The Pharisees also came to Him, testing Him, and saying to Him, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for just any reason?” And He answered and said to them, “Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.”

wife? And do you earnestly promise, before God and these witnesses, that you will love her, comfort her, honor and keep her in sickness and in health; and that, forsaking all others for her alone, you will perform unto her all the respect that a husband owes to his wife, until God,

witnesses, that you will love her, comfort her, honor and keep her in sickness and in health; and that, forsaking all others for her alone, you will perform unto her all the respect that a husband owes to his wife, until God,

Husbands: This Is where it can become touchy

Unkept gardens: One of the most discussed reason why Female’s have issue’s in marriage is the feeling of being Unkept.. Emotionally, Spiritually, Financially, Sexually

An Unkept garden produces Weeds, Rubbish & Pets

Rubbish: attacks rats, mice and other pest

Pets: Tend to leave stuff behind (crapy relationships)

Unkept Husbands: I think sometimes its easier to see an unkept husband in the crowd before noticing the the unkept Wife..

Believe it or Not: Husbands want their wives to keep them, watch over them & guard them.
