Ephesians 2:8 and Romans 8:28 are my two favorite verses because they clearly show that our salvation is totally of God and that He has a sovereign plan that we only get to see pieces of this side of Heaven.

My top two beliefs/truths are that the chief end of man is to glorify God and that if our relationship with God is not right then our relationship with other people will not be right

II Corinthians 5:17 and Galatians 2:20. My two most important beliefs are that Christ died for me and that no matter what I do He will always love me!

My favorite, that's hard, because it changes from time to time. However, this one always pops back to the top. Prov 3:5-8 Trust in the Lord with all your heart; lean not to your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths. Be not wise in your own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil. It will be health to your navel, and marrow to your bones! Whoo Hoo what a power packed promise!!!

Romans 8:28 and John 17:3
The Lord has proven Romans 8:28 to me over and over again in my life….there's nothing that He can't or won't bring good from!
And I love the entire chapter of John 17…but where Jesus defines what eternal life is: “Now this is eternal life: that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent”.

I'm so excited my dad is doing this new project! You're making scripture come alive again! =]

My two favorite verses are James 1:2 and 2 Timothy 2:24. My two most important beliefs would be that a personal must take personal responsibility for his actions and the second is to first be a servant to people's needs and especially your spouse!

What happened to all the old postings? Since this has been reposted, all the old comments are no longer accessible. I would like to review them. Where are they concerning the facebook/marriage article?

Comment on The greatest Valentine’s Day celebration ever! And win a DNA of Relationships DVD Series! by Lisa

Lisa — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 05:16:12 +0000

My husband planned the most wonderful Valentine's Day overnight. (This is the first time in 17 years of marriage that he has done something this amazing!) He arranged childcare, purchased tickets to see “South Pacific” on stage – something he knew I would love, reserved a beautiful hotel room downtown Seattle complete with dinner and breakfast. We had the opportunity to visit and just share time… rewards went both ways!

Comment on What is the best homeschooling curriculum? by Michael Smalley

What a great encouraging word! Thanks for your input Robby, and I believe that is what I’m most excited about when I think about home schooling our kids next year. All three have asked to be home schooled, so we are going for it!

Hi Michael, I cannot believe how much feedback you have received on this question. I am a minister, a homeschool dad (who homeschooled our kids during seminary – 3 years), and we have used a variety of tools as described above (in HUGE detail – folks, please, brevity next time). Yeah, we love Sonlight too, but from one dad to another, here’s the thing: YOUR KIDS NEED YOU. Period. The curriculum really doesn’t matter. Love those guys and GIVE yourSELF to them. That’s why Homeschooling works – because the parents love them into learning. If all you did was pull out some old math flash cards, a Bible, and a few of your favorite old books they will learn because they will see that you as their hero, their Dad, loves to learn. Figure it out on your own. Go for it!

When I told my husband that I needed him to validate my feelings, he told me it wasn’t his job!! GGRR!! Marriage couselor told him otherwise but he still doesn’t do it! Double GGRR!!

Comment on Calling all ladies! What do you want your husband to do? by Karen

Karen — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 19:59:17 +0000

I want my husband to cherish me! I know that sounds simple but what that includes is pull the chair out at the restaurant, open the car door, bring me a flower “just because”, want to hold my hand, kiss me when he wants nothing in return, tell me I am beautiful or at least pretty (has never done it) and just call me to tell me he is thinking of me and/or that he loves me. Have been married 30 years and I won’t leave him now but wished I would have earlier. He treats others so much better than he treats me!!

thank you for this! It always gets back to God, doesn’t it? He’s the reason we are here and He is the one who loves us despite all of our brokenness. He loves not because we are so lovely, but because He is so loving.

I want my husband to respect me by giving me the time I need. I have assured him that I will come to him when I'm ready so that the issue can be adressed with respect to him. I want time and respect and then a listening ear when I'm ready. I want him to love me,respect me and listen to me.

I see the vital need for this book not only for singles but also for parents of teens/ young adults. I am a parent of a young adult and its hard to keep them going down the right dating path with God in the relationship; which is vital for their marriage.
