Just one of over 30 I have written on this subject, as I teach onn the husband's role in marriage thru several different formats. There are many aspects, for sure . I wrote this one today as the MAIN ingredient lacking, in our no bottom lines, society------------------ Art

Marriage   A man will leave mother and father and to a wife, will cleave The question today, sems to be How long, before he leaves?   We still call the vows, sacred If only we knew what that meant there would'nt be so, damn much time, in diviorce proceedings, spent.   It's not a little matter, especially, with kids involved How come our parent's, parents, their troubles always solved?   There was a time, not long ago, When the Bible, was the bottom line We didn't have the choices then For His Word, was still;  divine.   Whom God has brought together Let no man take apart, These words seem so assuring, A blessed  way to start   But left to our own devices, There doesn't leave much doubt,  If God doesn't rule, in every way We'll eventually leave Him out.    And then the ego's, have their way Who's answering to who? The squabbles and the arguements Become the thing to do.   Cause if, you expect of the other what  your, not  willing to give It won't be, oh, so very long before together, you won't,  be able to live   The Bible says a husband Should wash his bride in the Word Be the spiritual head of the family In Christ, keep them assured   Your duties to each other His Word makes very clear But your number one directive, must be His Word to read and hear   So, make His Word  final Cling, to It's hining way Put your own way always second, And forever ,  together, you'll  stay!!!!
