Issues Christian Couples Should Discuss Before Getting Married

[kalynblackson]

Getting married is a serious and religious thing, and this is the main reason a pastor from Grapevine Texas encouraged every couple to talk about issues that will make their marriage bond stronger - and intimacy should be on top of that list of issues.

Now, as religious, Chirstian couples, let us hear your thoughts about this interesting topic

I see this is your first post, so welcome. I've been married only once for 39 years. I would simply say that I think that sex is only a small part of real intimacy that lasts. I think that the same is true with real love. I firmly believe these important issues are confused in our society with sex, and that may be one reason why so many marriages fail. A bigger reason is not putting God first in the household.

  This is a topic that can open a can of worms!

Nowadays..... No woman should marry a male that is 25 years oild or younger... period. The male has not matured enough to really grasp hold of what a marriage is all about.

Men are in love with sex.... women in love with the concept of *Luv*.

Men watch porn.... Women read porn. That is right ladies... you read porn.... how many of you have your romance pulp novels and read them? Some read 2 or 3 books on a weekend. No man can be one of those characters in one of those novels.

I know I am going to catch a flack about what I just said.... but really really contemplate what I said and there is a lot of truth there. SAD, but truth. Point is "we" have gone backwards. I do not think God had intentions on the way we do things now. Could be one reason why homosexuality is increasing.

Marriage is forever!

So true

"And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder." (Matthew 19:5-6)

to help in preparation for marriage, you need adequate counselling. I suggest a book called "Model marriage"
