Beattitudes of Marriage

Be attitudes are attitudes you should be in your relationships.

1. Be Nice

This seems like a no brainer, but it seems that people lose the ability to be nice once they get married.

We don’t need to be mean, but nice.

Psy… say that you are always to be totally honest. So people come home and vomit all over each other.

Bible - only a fool gives full vent to his anger.

The people who do not vomit everything out, are healthier that those who do.

If you want to wreck your life, flap your lips.

Words can burn us with the fire from hell.

You are not under obligation to share every little thing or feeling. Some mornings you will wake up and think, God is so good and other times you will think you have married the spawn of hell.

Biggest offenders are men… they go totally negative at home.

People are obsessed with how they feel… you have to go past your feelings. Your emotions are not your friend. If you want to succeed as a Christian, you have to ignore your feelings… you may not feel like reading your Bible… praying… etc., but you do. Did you feel like studying in school.

ILL - of a musician… practice when they didn’t want to.

What if … be nice!

Don’t live in the world of I wish, I’d rather…

JaMES COUNT IT PURE JOY WHEN EVERYTHING GOES WRONG. come on over and let’s celebrate… what … My life sucks...

Enjoy the journey you are on… but enjoy the journey.

We are on the way to heaven… so no matter where we go, enjoy the journey because heaven is our destination.

Marriage was not designed to make you happy.
