Preparing for a Relationship Spirtually

I was sharing some of the wonderful sermons that provide relationship counsel for me with some coworkers and realized it would be a good idea to put them here also.

I will check occasionally to make sure these are still valid video links...I will also check later to see if I can upload the videos or at least the audio directly to the blog...

Let me share one of my favorite Biblical verses first:

Better to dwell in a corner of a housetop, Than in a house shared with a contentious woman

Proverbs 21:9 and Proverbs 25:24

Principles of Marriage

1 Corinthians 7

Notable:

The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. And likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. Do not deprive one another except with consent for a time, that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again so that Satan does not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. (1 Corinthians 7:4-5)

One of my all-time favorite sermons...and a particularly important subject considering the recent troubles of the speaker:

Bishop Eddie Long (Forgiveness) Watch parts 2-5 if possible

I love this woman...she is one of my all-time favorite female pastors.  This part of the sermon talks about how women have to be taught to be women.  She also mentions there is a death when a woman goes from being single to married.

  This section of the sermon is about men won't talk to us about everything that is going on with them and how we must learn to be quiet.

Pastor R A Vernon The Brady Bunch

This is a great sermon about how to blend a family.
