      You don't mock the Lord eternally. What we have sown , we are reaping it now.
      We have sown demonic feminism within the body of Christ , focusing like crazy on the husband's conduct towards the wife ( which fuels the wife with pride and self entitlement) when the BIBLE does the exact opposite.
      Marriage today is a sad joke. Don't expect the Lord to bless those phony sexless female-dominated marriages that dishonour the Lord and blaspheme the Word.

      Now that the TREACHEROUS church in bed with her feminist lovers has done the opposite of God's will , everything is falling apart .

      I don't think the romantic type of love is special, and I think that the romantic type of love isn't real. I mean about more than half of romantic couples either break up with each other or divorce each other. I think humans should just ditch concepts like dating, marriage, and pair bonding. I feel like this world would be a much better place without romance than it is with it.

      Modern females screw every marriage they touch because men just LOOOVE them (like silly simps) but are no men enough to rule over them anymore (Genesis 3:16).
      The more men love women , the more they hate them.
      How paradoxical ! How far we are from the lies taught by the modern church in bed with the world !
      Men have an idealistic vision of love , women have an opportunistic one.
      When men are told over and over and over and over to love their wives and nothing else , they fall in the TRAP set up by modern women who just care about themselves and who hate both men and their children.
      The BIBLE that is NOT taught anymore always starts off its marital instruction with the conduct and duty of the WIFE for a reason.
      The post modern church does the opposite.
      And you wonder why so many marriages fail ?
      You think we can mock the Lord eternally ? If God did not spare the Jews who were his people , how would he spare us , original pagans grafted onto the olive tree ?
      How come so many marriages are not blessed and don't resemble Proverbs 31 or Psalm 127/128 ?
      No need to seek further . Feminist lies and flawed vision of things have replaced GOD's vision . God's vision is SO male-centric that it cannot fit the feminist lies of the modern church.
      But don't worry . It is always THE LORD who will have the last say and we will PAY for that.

      No they don't ! Does Christ submit to his church ? No he does not.
      He guides her and provides for her but he is the one who rules over her and who will have the last say.
      Christ also rebukes and punishes his church if he judges it right to do so Revelation chapter 3 .
      The husband submits to CHRIST . Not to his wife !! Adam did that ! Adam the simp was the perfect example of that "mutual submission" LIE that caused him to lose his original glory .
      Marriages today don't work anymore because the husband is ruled over in and out of the bedroom.

    Marriage is not a contract but, a covenant. The difference has been expressed vividly.
    That's where my mistake was for a long time, - I viewed marriage as a contract.
    Thank you brother Craig for explaining this so clearly.
    By the grace of God I recommit my marriage and my life to Jesus, my Lord and Saviour.

    Hubby and I will be married 27 years soon. 5 kids. We've been through thick and thin together. Recently dealt with an autoimmune disease and steroid-related heart problems. We've had to go to one income for starters. Kids mad at us, addiction and dysfunction. This has been a tough season.
    We are both second virginity believers and trust the power of the cross and double dating with married folks. We had to back up and move the wedding up several times, confess and start over and be accountable and go to counseling.....
    But
    We still have each other.
    We're still best friends.
    We're still attracted to each other.
    Its worth it.

    I am broken without my wife by my side. She left without any explanation, without trying to reconcile our marriage, without mediation, without speaking to our pastors, without a single word to other Christian in her life. She left our marriage and left God also and just move on with her life and she took it a step further and made sure there was no way possible I could communicate with her again. I have faith that God is all powerful, and I truly believe God was the center of our marriage and our marriage was God honoring, but now I stand hopeless wondering what do I do. I do not want to move on because I do not want to show God I have no faith that he can restore my marriage, but I am broken and she has moved on with callousness in her heart. I pray daily for over a year now and no sign from above. What do I do as a Christian male?

      Modern men are told the lie of communication over and over but are never told to RULE OVER their wives anymore.
      As a result , marriages are destroyed and Christians are left without any REMEDY to their sexual urges.
      SATAN wins because the Truth is never told anymore

      Father, in the Name of Jesus we lift up @nogocheese1549 and his wife, we realize that as a believer, our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. Our acknowledgment of Your presence on a daily basis makes our faith in You effectual. We believe that You, heavenly Father, are leading and guiding us by the Holy Spirit through our spirit, and illuminating our mind. As we yield to the Holy Spirit, we believe that our steps are ordered of You, LORD. We commit and trust ourselves wholly to Your guidance, expecting You to cause our thoughts to become agreeable to Your will, so our plans will be established and succeed. We trust in You, LORD, with all our heart and lean not on our own understanding. As we acknowledge You, please direct us in paths of righteousness. We confess that as we become more God-inside minded, we can more easily recognize the inward witness of the Holy Spirit. We hear the voice of the Good Shepherd, and a stranger’s voice we will not follow. We are aware that our spirit is the candle of The LORD. We meditate in The WORD day and night, not letting it depart from our mouth. We test our inward witness with The WORD, for the Spirit and The WORD agree. We are quick to act on The WORD, as well as the prompting of our spirit. We are not a hearer only, but also a doer. Therefore, we are blessed in all our deeds. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
