Relationships and Communication-Marriage

Uncategorized 2 Minutes

Hello Warriors, Watch Dog here,

As we are continuing our discussions about communication and relationships, I am going to tackle some issues with Marriage! What do I know about marriage one might ask? I have been married to Relentless for coming up on 20 years. I would say I know a little about the subject. (I do mean a little, very little) God on the other hand knows a whole lot about the subject. Shoot He is the one who created it. Relentless and I tell people that we have been married for 19 years, but it only feels like 5 minutes, UNDER WATER! (LOL) Enough of the jokes, lets get to the point here.

In a biblical marriage, the husband is the head of the household. Those words are in the Bible in a couple of different places, so it has to be true. Ephesians 5:22-24 “Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its savior. Now the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands.” Now men DO NOT go and get a big head about this and think that you can rule your wife with an iron fist. Just like everything there is more to the story. Verse 25 goes on to say “Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her,”

Fellas, this means that you MUST respect your wives, honor your wives, love your wives. I heard a preacher one time several years back at a wedding say that “the man is the head of the house and that is so that God can slap him on the side of head when he messes up.” If we do not treat our wives with dignity and respect, God will show his anger to you, and He might just use her to express it to you! I will not lie and say I have always treated Melissa with the utmost respect (God knows I have not) but as I age, I continue to try and show her what she means to me.

“Therefor a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church. However, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband”. (Ephesians 5:31-33) I have started to figure out that if Relentless feels loved, apricated, respected there is no issues with her respecting me. That is how a marriage is supposed to be. And to think it only took me 20 years to figure that out.

Next week we will continue on with our talks of marriage, relationships and communication. Please Like, Share, Comment, and Subscribe. Also find us on Facebook and Instagram.

We love you all, God Bless

Welcome to Relentless Warriors Legacy. RWL for short, is a PTSD ministry ran by us, Lawrence and Melissa McGuire. Relentless Warriors Legacy is here to show couples and individuals there is hope despite PTSD. PTSD is a hard thing to navigate in a marriage and in relationships, so we share our experiences with PTSD and that with God at the center, we are thriving instead of surviving. We offer support to couples and individuals to find their way out of the darkness and give tomorrow a chance. We have been married for over 20 years and have 3 amazing boys. Lawrence has been in the fire service for over 20 yrs and was in the military for just over 15 yrs. We have PTSD, Grief and Depression in our marriage. It has taken us a lot of time to navigate all of it. Our marriage still has its ups and downs, but it is still the best it has ever been. While our main focus is on marriages, Lawrence and I both meet with individuals once a month to talk about different subjects dealing with PTSD. We also have this blog, Instagram page and Facebook page. Helping others navigate this hard territory is our God given passion. We love to talk about the things that have worked for us and what has not. It is not a one size fits all solution. Please join us each week to talk about another topic. Thank you for diving into our blog!! Lawrence and Melissa McGuire (Watch Dog and Relentless)
