Men, Listen to this advice carefully ‼️‼️

Bro, Easy is for children. Marriage isn’t about finding someone who completes you. It’s about finding someone you can build with, even when the foundation is cracking. My brother always said a strong back can bear a heavy load, but a broken spirit will crumble under anything. Prepare for the work. Prepare for the storms. Don’t chase comfort, chase resilience.

The fact that suffering is apart of the black Christian ministry never sits well with me.

Psalms 126:5: 5 Those sowing seed with tears Will reap with a joyful shout. Our joy does not depend on our circumstances. Joy is a fruitage of the spirit. Don’t let this world or its troubles rob you of joy!

Be married 26 next July. It’s been easy, hard and painful at times. But nothing worth having comes easy. We also started 76 restaurants during this 26 years with the last one opening last year.

I always say this to anyone and me myself just live a simple life not an easy life. Life was never meant to be easy. But yhu can male it simple and happy no matter the situation.

Why is marriage hard? Moving a couch by yourself is hard. Two people moving it, is easy.

Whenever things get heavy, and I don't mean HEAVY, I just recite these words over and over until the Lord moves: "the joy of the Lord is my strength". Works every time.

I really enjoyed reading the Book by Calvin Robinson entitled: "Marriage Ain't for Punks" He speaks well about the dynamics of intimate relationships!

The easy way out is looking for happiness, rather than looking to serve. Happiness should be a bonus if we are to choose not to fall in the trap of idolising it.

I don’t know who this is, but damn, I love this guy. Right place, right time. Thank you for the message!

It amazes me to no end how black people want to pretend to be enlightened by preaching the lessons of books written by mostly jewish and some white men 2000 or more years ago.

Well that says a lot …

@grok what’s this from

@neda_sefati

The very beginning of "The Road Less Traveled," by M Scott Peck, MD — Life is difficult. This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths. It is a great truth because once we truly see this truth, we transcend it. Once we truly know that life is difficult—once we truly understand and accept it—then life is no longer [as] difficult. Because once it is accepted, the fact that life is difficult no longer matters. Most do not fully see this truth that life is difficult. Instead they moan more or less incessantly, noisily or subtly, about the enormity of their problems, their burdens, and their difficulties as if life were generally easy, as if life should be easy. They voice their belief, noisily or subtly, that their difficulties represent a unique kind of affliction that should not be and that has somehow been especially visited upon them

Amen.

Yep it's only going to get worse

Soooooo things are not going to be easy… and life ain’t go make u happy…

Truth.

My husband and I have been married 48 years. Two years ago he suffered a traumatic brain injury, which has greatly changed our relationship, but not its foundation. Standing in a sweltering hot church in 1977 I VOWED before Bod to love Joe through sickness and health. Vows matter to God, so they must matter to us.

Amen

Stop looking for something easy

Marriage takes work

hello!!

Why did God make life so frustrating? Insight from Romans 8:20 NLT Against its will, all creation was subjected to God’s curse. But with eager hope. God made life frustrating on purpose so we can't be satisfied with life without him. He wants us to long for the glorious freedom.
