   • Now Abraham was old, well advanced in age; and the Lord had
        blessed Abraham in all things. So Abraham said to the oldest
        servant of his house, who ruled over all that he had, “Please,
        put your hand under my thigh, and I will make you swear by
        the Lord, the God of heaven and the God of the earth, that
        you will not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the
        Canaanites, among whom I dwell; but you shall go to my
        country and to my family, and take a wife for my son Isaac.”

                    of Jesus Christ (John 15:26):

                    “But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to
                    you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who
                    proceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me.”

       • Young Christian men should pray about their future wife
            Proverbs 3:5-6: “In all thy ways acknowledge the Lord.”



Thursday, December 23, 2010
2. Have proper mindset

           A. Realize wife is a gift from God:

           Eleazar prayed “show kindness unto my master
           Abraham.” (Gen 24:12)

          “...a prudent wife is from the Lord.” (Proverbs 19:14)

          “Who can find a virtuous wife? For her worth is far above
          rubies.” (Proverbs 31:10)




Thursday, December 23, 2010
2. Have proper mindset

            B. Realize wife is not your possession

            Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with
            understanding, giving honor to the wife, as to the
            weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace
            of life, that your prayers may not be hindered.
            (1 Peter 3:7)

2. Have proper mindset

            C. Don’t go expecting to find your ‘Soul-Mate’




Thursday, December 23, 2010
2. Have proper mindset

            C. Don’t go expecting to find your ‘Soul-Mate’
            Most people have “this fantastical, unreal notion that God brings together two lost
            hearts who experience true compatibility in all the deepest longings % of their
            being. Most people think that your soul mate is someone with whom % you never
            argue and spend endless days of hand-clinching romantic walks on the beach. No
            hardships, no struggles, just starry-eyed wonder for the next 80 years. The truth is,
            a soul mate isn't someone you find, it's someone you intentionally and
            prayerfully become.Anyone in a successful marriage can tell you that "success" in
            marriage doesn't come from finding that one person you were meant to be with. It
            only comes from giving up the selfish behavior that served you while you were single,
            and focusing on selflessly serving your spouse instead.” David Beaseley

3. Set the Standard

           A. Go to the right place to find your wife:

            “...whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him
           will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will
           become in him a fountain of water springing up into
           everlasting life.” (John 4:14)

For it was so, when Solomon
                              was old, that his wives turned
                              his heart after %other gods; and
                              his heart was not loyal to the
                              Lord his God, as was the heart
                              of %his father David. (1 Kings
                              11:4)

The truth is, a soul mate isn't someone you find, it's someone you intentionally and prayerfully become.Anyone in a successful marriage can tell you that "success" in marriage doesn't come from finding that one person you were meant to be with.
