Mass Renewal of Marriage Vows

I had a fantastic Valentine's weekend with my beautiful wife and 16 other couples.We renewed our marriage vows at our church, Elim Assembly of God. The event was arranged by the Eim CARE ministry and what a blessed experience it has been. 

On Saturday the 14 Feb 2015 we attended a 3 hour workshop and below are a few things I have learnt

• Make Love ..... a verb (not make love alot). It should be a everyday doing thing. 
• You should always make decisions as if you partner is more important than you.
• Treat your partner with respect.
• Humble yourself, submit to one another, 
• Don't be disrespectful to your partner.
• Value him or her.
• Make an effort to become interested in the things your partner likes.

The renewal took place on Sunday 15 Feb 2015.

I pray that we all would stay married and in love forever. IT IS POSSIBLE!!!

The cross in the pictures below simbolises that God is the centre of our marriages. 

In Ecclesiastes 4:12 it is said that "a threefold cord (God, Husband and Wife) is not quickly/easily broken".

Philippians 2: 3-8  Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also the interest of others. Have this in mind amongst yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on the cross.
