I am happlily married with 5 kids. I am an accoutant and worked in an accounting field for over 25 years. I like to make a habit of writing down whenever I have deep thoughts about God (so I won't forget). I really into Reformed Theology that is connected to Presbyterian Church in America.

My first Blog in blogger.com

This is my first blog in this blooger.com I will start with First Peter 3:7 which is my favorite verse. I love this verse because this tells me my DUTY as a husband to my wife. This verse helps me make our marriage better and happier !!!"Live with your wives"The term translated "live" means "to dwell down with," being closely aligned, being completely at home with. The little word "with" calls for close companionship, deep-down togetherness. Husbands are the ones who should be cultivating an in-depth partnership with our mates. This word "dwell" speaks of intimacy. It is letting somebody else into your life. In every marriage, there needs to be verbal, emotional, social, intellectual, and spiritual togetherness.When you pray with someone, what you are saying to that person is, "I recognize you as a spiritually important person. I have time for you. You are a part of my spiritual life. God is not just my God and your God. God is our God." That's spiritual intimacy. It says to the wife, my husband is serious about being the spiritual leader in our home. Women greatly desire and deserve a husband that will pray with her. Husbands are to study their wives and work tirelessly to promote her spiritual, emotional, and physical well beingThe word for "live" means to "dwell together or to be at home with." Peter is telling husbands that they are responsible for the "close togetherness" in the relationship. Providing a good living should never become a substitute for sharing deeply in life. The husband is to be sensitive to the needs of the wife. To be continue another time.....
