The Secret of Being Best Friends 

1. Be Faithful 2. Believe in each other 3. Embrace each other’s differences 4. Bare each other’s burdens

I truly believe that my marriage will be okay..I believe that GOD wants my husband and me stay together..can you pray for me and my husband..and our children GOD bless

I wish I'd found this year's ago. Problem is I wouldn't have listed. I've been with my wife for 20 years, and Nov 5th will be our 17th anniversary. We've gone through a very rough spot in our marriage recently, but we are working on it. I'm finally awake, and realizing where I was wrong. It's going to be hard, and take a long time, but it will be worth it. She means more to me than anything on Earth. Please say a prayer for us. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom. 🙏✝️♥️ S.

Just found these sermons and as a young wife it really helps. Once I started to offer to go random places with my husband like a party or just a trip to autozone our friendship got better

These guys make marriage seem magical if it’s established on the true foundation and operated under the principles of God. I love it Bold Statement “anything built on the foundation of God’s principles is bound to succeed”

Once couples stop being selfish in relationships then they will really start loving one another.Until then it's a battle of wills

Seeking "friendship" in a marital relationship increases longevity, encourage compatibility in Christ going in the same direction in life! Great sermon message for the Christian couples! "Whatever God ordains; He maintains taking full responsibility for His children!" Ecclesiastes 4:12, Amos 3:3, Proverbs 12:4, Proverbs 27:17 Blessings and thanks for the pivotal, on-time, relevant Word from the Lord!

Love these messages they have helped me to see myself. Wish I would have found before my husband filed for divorce a few months ago after 17 years of marriage and 4 children. I still watch everyday.

Wish my ex and I would have found this before we ended our 18 yr marriage. Saddens me. I always wanted marriage and I still do. Hopefully, one day soon, I can be who God and new husband need me to be. Thank you for your messages.

This is so practical and needed.

This is an unparalleled collection. A matching book I read was a lighthouse in my life. "The Art of Meaningful Relationships in the 21st Century" by Leo Flint

love these messages!

This message was so helpful. Beautiful one. Thank you so much. God bless

I love it! I find it interesting that you put those needs in a gender based perspective, as I can relate to all of them. However, point being, you're absolutely right. A real friend doesn't just sit back and watch you suffer. A friend helps in a time of need, and that friendship is tested and proven in the worst of times, not the best of times. A real friendship like that can MAKE the worst of times the best of times. Also, I'll share a lesson my father taught me when I was a teenager that rings very true to this day. A friend isn't someone who's there for you when you need them; a friend is someone who RESPECTS YOUR BOUNDARIES. You cannot feel loved by someone who doesn't respect your feelings and boundaries, and therefore you cannot have a true friendship if boundaries are not respected. I think the security and respect go hand in hand and are not gender based. How can you feel secure in someone who will not respect your boundaries? We all want that with someone we make ourselves vulnerable to. That being said, I also love the point about the "differences". If there are differences you cannot/will not tolerate, the point about respecting boundaries is key, as you will disprove yourself as a loving and caring friend if you do not. Assertiveness and aggressiveness are two completely different things. Assertiveness is taking the initiative to seek a solution to what you see as a problem while respecting the other person's rights and boundaries. Aggressiveness is seeking a solution to what you see as a problem while disrespecting them, whether or not it's intentional. Everyone makes mistakes, but it becomes straight up abusive, uncompassionate, and uncaring when aggressiveness is the common theme whether through yelling, lies, manipulation, threats - intentional and habitual disrespect of boundaries.

Very insightful. Thank you.

FANTASTIC!!!!!!

Thank you

My ex would put me down all the time to build me up he would say. He would call me a whore and a mental midget and a whole slew of other things and then wondered why i couldnt warm up to him. But he also was very honest, provided for me and my sons financially, spiritually reading the bible with me wanting to do the right things and he did. We hurt each other. I disrepected him and myself. Theres so much more to our story but i left him and He has been with someone else for about 2 years now and i have not been able to get him out of my heart. I was so sure that we were brought together for a reason. That we would help heal each other and grow together to heal others.

Nice teaching

Do you have or can you suggest anything for single people seeking to get married (dating/relationship) but haven't found the anyone? This is great information that I will keep to remind me for when I do get married, just not there yet, 😢

You’re never friends with someone who ignores you.

Faithfulness

Married 36yr I find it a struggle to have any fun with my wife , it's hard to explain but when ever we do things together it strained and awkward . She use to go fishing with me and I thought she enjoyed it but one Day she says the only reason I go because you want me to ,I told her don't bother I can try catching fish on my own . Earlier in our marriage we talked travel we did enjoy that when the kids were little as in camping, - now she doesn't. She has a bunch excuses I love her but anything in common (we have the same moral sense and ethics about our family so we have a lot in common in that reason) it just doesn't work . so next summer I'm going hike the PC trail alone . Life to short to let pass you by .

Very helpful

This makes me sad. My boyfriend only hears what the woman should do and doesn't hear God's message on what the man should do. So sad. Sad because we're breaking apart.

Wow.

20:34 They didn't answer the poor guy's question -- he wanted to know what he could say to get through to her.

i'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO GO DEER HUNTING,SERIOUSLY!! 👍😁

❤

I wish someone would turn up the volume he is low

Did you help people who has a demon ..i think my husband has a jezebel spirit and i believe that people who prays with me..can do more..I’m sorry for my English..I’m not from America

Jesus please heal my marriage

Some men behave like children forcing the women into the role of being a mother. They tend to do this more once the children leave home. Being an empty nester is the time to give your partner so much more of your time, however, some men see this as their time to sit back and have their wives become their slave. That is when the divorce papers come out.
