Robert & Susan’s News and Notes:

Do you ever find yourself struggling to defend
your beliefs?

The Internet is filled with anti-Christian
propaganda these days.

If you are looking for interesting and
intelligent defense of faith, I recommend that
you check out Phil Fernandes' site at

http://www.biblicaldefense.org.

Phil has debated some of the most respected
athiests and agnostics and presents faith in a
very strong way.

This Week’s Sexual Relationship Tip:

"Use your mouth..to make your spouse feel
good..."

That title is purposely risque. Especially since
this tip doesn't involve using your mouth,
sexually.

We all have our insecurities and we all need the
reinforcement of our spouses.

If you want your marriage and sexual relationship
to be truly strong, you can't just assume that
your spouse "knows" how much you love them and
how much you love being with them, sexually.

TELL THEM. AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE!

It is a wonderful and powerful thing when you
hear your spouse tell you what they love about
you. It is an exciting thing when they clearly
express what they love about sex with you.

This type of communication goes a long way to
making the relationship stronger and more
intimate.

So... go out of your way to verbalize your
positive thoughts for your spouse.

This week's Christian Marriage Relationship
Article:

"Pray Together—Stay Together – Through tough
times...."

By Nancy C. Anderson


My parents have been married for over fifty
years, and every morning they pray together.
They’ve prayed through the deaths of their
parents, the breast cancer that invaded my
mother’s body, and the recent stroke that, for
months, robbed my father of his vision and
balance. The key word is praying through—not over
or under or around, but through. Sometimes we
have to go through the fire, but as Scripture
promises, the fire will not consume us.

When we pray together as couples, we bring a
sense of unity to our marriage that will not be
easily shattered by difficulties.


Just as your personal prayer life is an indicator
of your relationship with the Lord, the prayer
life of a marriage is a strong indicator of the
health of the whole relationship. Praying
together is an intimate activity, and in order
for it to be effective, it must be genuine and
heartfelt.

My husband, Ron grew up in a family that didn't
pray together, so it was hard for him to
understand how important it was to our
relationship. Through the years, he’s learned
that his prayers nourish me, our marriage, and
our relationship with God.

When Ron prays for me, I feel as if I’m covered
by a velvety blanket of protection. Even though I
still face problems and setbacks, his prayers
shelter me from the sharpness of the pain. We
have prayed through financial troubles, difficult
decisions about careers, and several health
issues.

Here's an example of how our prayer life kept us
bonded during the most painful event a couple can
experience: the death of a child.

After an abnormal ultrasound during my second
pregnancy, Ron and I went back to the hospital
for the amniocentesis results. The doctor said,
as if he were reading from a textbook, “Trisomy
eighteen is a genetic disorder that always
involves profound mental retardation and severe
disfigurements.” Then he said the words that
still live inside a tiny zipped pocket of my
heart.

“Your baby’s condition is usually incompatible
with life. Most women in your position, in order
to spare themselves unnecessary anguish, just get
an abortion. We can schedule yours for tomorrow
morning.”

I couldn’t speak. I stopped breathing. I felt
like I was drowning. I wanted to sink into the
dark water and disappear. We left the office
without a word.

We knew that abortion was not an option for us
and that this child was the one God chose for us.
We began to fall in love with him. Ron laid his
hands on my stomach almost every night and prayed
for our baby and our marriage. We asked the Lord
to help us to bear this unbearable burden through
His unfailing strength.

My parents also covered us in prayer and one day
my mother gave us a piece of advice that kept us
focused. She said, “Try not to think about the
future. Your baby is alive today, be alive with
him. Treasure every moment.”
More New Years ...

Over the next few months, we talked to our unseen
baby, sang lullabies to him, and prayed for him.
I gave him gentle massages through my skin. We
knew we had to begin our parenting before he was
born.

Four months later, we met little Timmy
face-to-face. The nurse covered his fragile,
twenty-ounce body with a soft blue blanket and
matching cap. His heart monitor beeped an
unsteady greeting as she handed him to us.

His beautiful little rosebud mouth surprised me.
It was an oasis of perfection. We held our
emotions in check, knowing we had to pour a
lifetime of love into a minuscule cup. Ron and I
took turns rocking him as we repeatedly told him,
“We love you, Timmy.” He never opened his eyes.
His heartbeat got slower and slower—and then
reluctantly, stopped.

We introduced him to his heavenly Father as we
prayed, “Lord, here is our son. Thank you for the
gift of his precious life and for the privilege
of being his parents. We release him into your
healing arms.”

Then we cried.

The Bible says that a three-stranded cord is not
easily broken. The three of us—Jesus, Ron, and
I—were braided together through prayer. As a
result, our prayers held us together during a
tragedy that might have destroyed us. Instead,
our marriage was strengthened. The cord that
bound us together that day has grown even
stronger as we’ve embraced the power of prayer
and learned to ask the Lord to order our steps to
accomplish His will.

Every marriage has problems and conflicts, but
don’t be discouraged. Through prayer, God can
give us His strength and comfort. He wants to
build us up and encourage us as couples.
Christian marriages have a tremendous advantage.
We can call on the majestic power of the Creator
of the universe to guide us through the storms
and trials of life.

If your prayer life as a couple is less frequent
or less powerful than you'd like it to be, make
your commitment to pray together the subject of a
New Year's Resolution. Perhaps you could buy a
couples' devotional or a book about praying
together as a couple and begin to read a few
pages each day then spend some time praying for
each other. Even if it feels awkward at first,
persevere. Soon you will experience a deeper
knowledge of Lord's presence in your life and add
a new dimension to your marriage.

You’ll have the strength to face uncertain times
if you ask for the guidance of your Certain
Savior.
