(2)"And the LORD said to Satan, "The LORD rebuke you, Satan! The LORD who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Is this not a brand plucked from the fire?" (3)"Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and was standing before the Angel." (4)"Then He answered and spoke to those who stood before Him, saying, "Take away the filthy garments from him."

Marriage? Yes, marriage is really a ministry! Says who, you may ask? Well, can you hear the word resounding from the book of Colossians? 3:18-19 (18)”Wives, submit to your own husbands, as is fitting in the Lord,” (19)”Husbands, love your wives and do not be bitter toward them.” Ephesians 5:33 “Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his Own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.” Sadly though, husbands and wives have been blindsided by neglect and Procrastination, which is the thief of time, the silent treatment, dominating, Disrespect, mistrust, and jealousy.

Walking in the downtown area I heard someone calling out my name no one could be seen.

Yet before the marriage he says to her; tell me all about your past and everything about your family. She so trusts in him does so readily, but he on the other hand tells her hardly anything about his past or his family. They marry and at every opportunity, the husband would use the wife's past as amunition against her.
