"Finally, brothers, rejoice. Aim for restoration, comfort one another, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you. Greet one another with a holy kiss." - 2 Corinthians 13:11-12
I realize taking Biblical text out of its context is dangerous; here Paul is concluding his message to the Corinthian Church and is talking to the body as a whole.
But what a great couple verses for marriage!
1. Rejoice: wow, how draining is a negative relationship! Always complaining and being annoyed with every little thing! ENCOURAGE EACH OTHER! Come on this world is way to cruel for the person you live with to be your constant nag and annoyance!!
2. Restoration: wow, why not try to be reconciled to each other! NOT saying sorry is PRIDEFUL! Admit your mistake, or hey even better admit your wrong (even though your not)!
3. Comfort: wow, be nice to each other! Dont be a selfish prick and not want closeness! DONT BE INDIVIDUALISTIC! Be close to other, cuddle on the couch, hold hands, DO THINGS TOGETHER.
4. Peace: wow, who wants to live with someone that has no peace in their hearts!?? NO WAY! Aim for peace and gentleness, dont try to start petty selfish fights! GIVE ME A BREAK THE WORLD IS NOT GOING TO END!
5. God of love: If God created love; why not pursue Him? WOW NOW THERE'S A THOUGHT!
6. He will be with you: wow, realize that God IS in the midst of you both. HIS PRESENCE WILL HEAL ANY RELATIONSHIP AND SUSTAIN IT TO THE END!
7. Kiss...you can figure this one out: LETS HOPE SO! KISS EVERYDAY! AND KISS A LOT!
