                  LOVE(between a Man and a Woman).

1.     Have a common faith and value system for determining that faith: this is of utmost importance. Problems often arise in marriages due to differences in faith, religious beliefs and value systems. 
2.     Is he\she an angry person? Can he\she handle the anger with self-restraint or does it keep flying off the handle at the slightest provocation? Does he\she strike at the nearest object/person when annoyed?
3.     Can he\she carry out an intelligent conversation with you on topics outside of you both? Does he\she challenge your thinking? Does he\she respect your opinions especially when they differ from theirs?
4.     Can he\she handle your weirdness? Does he\she understand and can handle your moods, idiosyncrasies et al?
5.     Does he\she laugh at your jokes? Can he\she laugh at the silly things you do and sometimes say? Does he\she laugh with you? Can you tease each other?
6.     Does he\she have interests outside of you? Interest in good books, culture, art, some sport (not a fanatic hopefully), hobbies?
7.     How does he\she treat women\men? Watch how his\her father treated his\her mother. A man will almost always treat his wife the way his father treated his mother and vice versa.
8.     Is he\she a patient person? Is he\she a good listener (not just a polite or uninterested listener?)
9.     Is he\she gentle? Gentleness is attractive and especially necessary when the children start arriving
10.   Is he\she a virtuous person? Kind, Generous, Courteous, Meek, prudent, humble and above all God-fearing?

FOR THIS REASON, A MAN WILL LEAVE HIS PARENTS AND BE JOINED TO HIS WIFE AND BOTH WILL BECOME ONE FLESH. Ephesians 5:22-33.

This is our February tract. It is meant for people on the go. As we celebrate love, we particularly reach out to those in a loving relationship between husbands and wives and those to be. Remember, God is love, if you do not know God, you do not know love. Enjoy!!!

Tina.

#NextGeneration Stories

Cherokee Legend Do you know the legend of the Cherokee Indian youth's rite of Passage? His father takes him into the forest, blindfolds him and leaves him alone.  He is required to sit on a stump the whole night and not remove the blindfold until the rays of the morning sun shine through it. He cannot cry out for help from anyone.  Once he survives the night, he is a MAN. He cannot tell the other boys of this experience, because each lad must come into manhood on his own. The boy is naturally terrified. He can hear all kinds of noises. Wild beasts must surely be all around him. Maybe even some humans might do him harm. The wind blew the grass and earth, and shook his stump, but he sat stoically, never removing the blindfold. It would be the only way he could become a man! Finally, after a horrific night the sun appeared and he removed his blindfold. It was then that he discovered his father sitting on the stump next to him.    He had been at watch the entire night, p...

Why Do You Smoke?

6 personalized approaches to quitting forever.  Everyone smokes—and quits—for different reasons, and the key to getting smoke-free for life is to find out why you are smoking and then change those behaviors. If you are a Recreational or Social Smoker, you may feel that your limited smoking poses no serious medical harm to yourself or others. You may, however, ignore warning signs that your occasional smoking is progressing into addiction, especially during periods of stress or increased alcohol use. A periodic review of these warning signs may help motivate you to consider becoming smoke-free. The Scared-to-Quit Smoker has no end of reasons (excuses) to put off going smoke-free to some future date. Sometimes it helps to focus on just quitting for one day. If you can quit for a day, you can quit every day. This realization can be a great confidence builder, and helps to decrease your fears about not smoking “ever again.” Forever is too big a word for many addicts; thus the old adage...
