Why The Heck Of All Things A Marriage Blog?!?

Why indeed... Many people who we know have looked at Kelly and I and said that we have something that they don't have and often want to know what that is. That is part of what this blog is about. There are also situations and scenarios that cause a lot of drama which arise in marriages that Kelly and I have encountered that most married people encounter that I think can be handled in most cases without causing more drama. And a drama free marriage is truly a happy marriage!

My concepts of marriage stem from a couple key points from Scripture. First of all Love the Lord your God with all that you are, and Second, Love others as you love yourself. (Matthew 22:36-40) Then the explanation of Love found in 1st Corinthians 13 which in summery states that love is selfless. Then the next is for wives to submit to their husbands as the Church should submit to Christ's authority and for husbands to love their wives as Christ demonstrated for His Church (and do remember before criticizing, Christ loved His bride, the Church, so much that He died for Her) (this found various places in the New Testament of the Bible but for reference's sake, Ephesians 5:22-25). There are several other areas that I will cite when I come across them.

Now this is only a small part of what it is to apply love to ones life. Agape (love without condition) can and should be applied throughout your life, but first you must have Christ in your life. You can apply a set of principals to your life to try and make it better, but any cult or government can create a set of 'principals' and call it good, but only Christ can cause true transformation in ones heart.
