MARRIAGE RESTORATION MINISTRY
I was sent to GO and MINISTER to HUSBANDS & WIVES, MEN & WOMEN about God's original plan for the INSTITUTION of MARRIAGE.
The Lord made CLEAR to me that I MUST explain to His people what His ORIGINAL INTENTION was for the institution of marriage and the impact it has on His KINGDOM COME AGENDA and on His desire to BALANCE THE HOME, BALANCE THE COMMUNITY and BALANCE THE NATIONS!

NEW TESTAMENT FOUNDATION-MATTHEW 19V1-8
1. When Jesus had finished saying these things, he left Galilee and went into the region of Judea to the other side of the Jordan.
2. Large crowds followed him, and he healed them there.
3. Some Pharisees came to him to test him. They asked, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any and every reason?"
4. "Haven't you read," he replied, "that at the beginning the Creator 'made them male and female,'
5. And said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh'?
6. So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate."

7. "Why then," they asked, "did Moses command that a man give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away?
8. Jesus replied, "Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning.

OLD TESTAMENT FOUNDATION-GENESIS 2V18-22
18. The LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him."
19. Now the LORD God had formed out of the ground all the beasts of the field and all the birds of the air. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name.
20. So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds of the air and all the beasts of the field. But for Adam no suitable helper was found!
21. So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man's ribs and closed up the place with flesh.
22. Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib [i] he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.

ORDINATION OF MARRIAGE-GENESIS 2V23-25
23. The man said, "This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called 'woman,' for she was taken out of man."
24. For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.
25. The man and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame.

Parenting is the FIRST & CORE responsibility given to a married couples!
Single parenting is NOT the God ordained norm! Let us ALL be clear on that!
God wanted MEN to be available to raise their sons and daughters alongside their wives, being good examples, godly ROLE MODELS, encouraging them to fear God and reverence Him and filling them with GODLY VISION and KINGDOM COME ethics and passion.
God expects MEN & WOMEN to hold their posts and let God be Glorified through their marriages - Period!

MY BELIEFS ABOUT MARRIAGE & SEX
I believe marriage is for life!
I believe in MONOGAMOUS form of marriage as the scriptures upholds.
I believe SEX is a SACRED GIFT and that the best place for SEX is within marriage.
I STRONGLY believe that PHYSICAL OR VERBAL ABUSE is ungodly and should NEVER be part of any marriage.
I believe parents, Church, Elders & Leaders have the OBLIGATION to teach SEX EDUCATION to their children and take responsibility for the sexual health of our next generation as well as set GOOD EXAMPLES.
I believe DIVORCE should not be rushed into or opted for willy-nilly. It should only be a last resort.
I believe in Christian marriage counseling as a way of resolving conflicts in marriages through Christ's intervention.
