CONSTRUCTIVE COMPLAINING KEEP YOUR MARRIAGE
COMPLAINING OUT OF FRUSTRATION KILLS MARRIAGE 

Philippians 2:14-15 says  Live a cheerful life, without complaining or division among yourselves.  For then you will be seen as innocent, faultless, and pure children of God, even though you live in the midst of a brutal and perverse culture. For you will appear among them as shining lights in the universe,
 
Complaining can destroy your marriage. When left unchecked, complaining will leave your marriage unfulfilling and captive to all types of negativity.
Not all complaining is bad, though. There is a Godly way to complain that is rooted in love. When used correctly, complaining can help you build your home. But if not held in check, complaining can quickly become a destructive habit. Instead of a useful tool rooted in love, it can become a way to spew frustration and negativity.
The true danger that unhealthy complaining poises to your marriage cannot be overstated.  If allowed in, it will twist your mind in such a way that you will begin to hate what was meant to be one of the greatest blessings in your life.
If we complain because our marriage doesn’t match what we see on online and order homes or our spouse doesn’t live up to the standard we’ve been told they should. If not dealt with, this root of discontentment will lead you to constantly complain. You’ll begin to hate what you have because it doesn’t match what culture tells you that you should expect.
Your marriage isn’t supposed to look like everyone else’s. You have a unique, wonderful spouse and they most likely won’t meet all your expectations. Despite this, your marriage is simply enough.
Beloved husband and wife, train yourself to see your marriage for the wonderful blessing it is. Train your eyes to see the good and your mind to focus on what you are thankful for.
Instead of complaining out of frustration, learn constructive complaining and do it from a place of love. Use it as a tool to build your relationship.
Ephesians 4:29-32 says "Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.

STUDY NOTE ON SYNOPTIC GOSPELS

STUDY NOTE ON SYNOPTIC GOSPELS What is Synoptic Gospels The term synoptic gospels refers to the first three books of the New Testament: Matthew, Mark, and Luke. These gospels share similarities in their accounts of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection, which is why they are referred to as "synoptic," meaning "seen together." While each gospel has its unique elements, these similarities demonstrate the interdependence between them.  Here is a closer look at each of the synoptic gospels: MATTHEW Matthew is traditionally attributed to the apostle Matthias, who was chosen by lot to replace Judas Iscariot after his betrayal of Christ. Matthias wrote the gospel with a Jewish audience in mind. It begins with Jesus' genealogy, emphasizing His divine lineage from Abraham through King David. Many scholars believe that Matthew was written before AD 80, making it one of the earliest surviving records of Jesus' teachings. Four unique features of the Gospe...

STRONGER TOGETHER

The Importance Of Unity By Bible Teacher Kola Kayode  Unity is a top priority for Jesus and for His church, and it should be our top priority as well. The Bible commands us: “ Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bonds of peace” (Eph. 4:3).  One of our primary jobs as Christians and church leaders is to maintain unity and promote peace—whatever it takes!  Individually, we are one drop. Together, we are an ocean. It is a witness to the world. In John 13:34, 35, Jesus said: “By this shall all men know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”  When churches love each other, there is unity and harmony. Strength lies in differences, not in similarities. When spiders unite, they can tie down a lion.  Unity is strength, division is weakness. Even the weak become strong when they are united. Where there is unity there is always victory. We rise by lifting others. We must learn to live together as brothers or perish tog...
