Physical Intimacy in MarriageBy: Christopher Brock
February 21, 2022 One of the things that clearly sets the Biblical marriage apart from other human relationships is the physical intimacy that exists in it. One of the fundamental designs for the relationship between the husband and wife is that they are to have sex with one another. The act of sexual intercourse is the most intimate physical relationship To read more click here |

Two Is Better Than OneBy: Christopher Brock
December 21, 2021 Over the past few years as my wife and I have been working together for the Lord there is one thing that I have found to be completely true. There are talents and gifts that God has given to me, and there are talents and gifts that God has given to my wife. We both can function in those gifts independently, but when we use our gifts in conjunction with each other... To read more click here |

Be RespectfulBy: Coria Brock
November 21, 2021 In the culture I grew up in, people use to have an activity before the wedding in which the groom had to complete a challenge in order to be able to marry the bride in the wedding ceremony. Then, after the wedding ceremony, members of the bridal party would prepare more tasks for the bride and groom to complete. The aim of this activity is simply – for fun. After I moved to United States... To read more click here |

Forgiveness In a MarriageBy: Christopher Brock
October 21, 2021 When I look at the vast majority of marriages, I can see that one thing is true, they almost all start out with the intention and desire of being successful. I don’t believe anyone enters a marriage relationship believing that it is going to end in divorce. After the wedding is over and life starts as a husband and wife the reality of the work it takes to make a marriage work starts to set in. To read more click here |

Do Not Wait Until It Is Too LateBy: Coria Brock
September 21, 2021 Have you ever heard the term “Balloon Effect”? I am not talking about the drug policy in United States, instead, a safe guard about relationships. Here we are applying it in the marriage relationship. Most counselors will simply say it is “bad communication” between a husband and a wife. To read more click here |

Being Honest With Our SpouseBy: Christopher Brock
August 21, 2021 What do you think about when you hear the word honesty? I believe that for most people we will immediately think about telling the truth rather than telling a lie. When a person is an honest person, it means that person is a person who can be trusted. In order to truly trust a person, you must be able to believe that what is being spoken from their mouth .....

The Love of a Husband for His WifeBy: Christopher Brock
June 21, 2021 In the February 2021 edition of the Marriage column, I wrote about The Heart of Biblical Submission. In that article, I discussed the true meaning of what submission is and how it is often misinterpreted and misrepresented in modern society. With that said, with so much focus and controversy being placed upon that portion of scripture in Ephesians 5, it is often forgotten that there is also a whole section which talks about the Biblical responsibilities and role of the husband....

Maintaining Relationship, Not CooperationBy: Christopher Brock
April 21, 2021 If there is one thing that has been often said about my wife and I is that we are doers. When there is something that needs to be done or when we have committed to do something, we are going to do it to the best of our ability as soon as we can. While I believe that the Lord has blessed us with that passion to work, and my wife has been blessed with a skill to organize our activities , it means that we often have many things to do and work on....

The Wife of Noble CharacterBy: Coria Brock
March 21, 2021 By the will of God, I am serving in women’s ministry and have opportunities to engage with many women. One thing I have realized is that many of them do not know or do not want to talk about the “Wife” which is written about in Proverbs 31. This seems to be true no matter if they are married or single. If I need to make a conclusion about this, it would simply be that the mindsets of women are different. Because of that difference, the understanding of the.... To read more click here |

The Heart of Biblical SubmissionBy: Christopher Brock
February 21, 2021 There is no doubt in my mind that I will likely receive a variety of comments and feedback concerning this article. Whenever this topic of brought up it would seem like it generates interested and garners some often passionate opinions. The structure of a home and family, as laid out by the Bible, is an image of the relationship and love that should exist between us and the Lord. So often however this structure is written off as old fashioned and out of touch.... To read more click here |

I Have Loved You With An Everlasting LoveBy: Coria Brock
January 21, 2021 Recently, my husband did some work on a guitar that our friend had bought from a pawn shop. He did a full setup on it, cleaned it up, and replaced the strings. During the time, I noticed that he was using a cleaning cloth and cleaner to wipe down the guitar surfaces several times. He has helped work on many guitars, but this was more cleaning then I had seen him do on a guitar before. So, I asked him why he needed to do that and he replied by showing me the guitar....

Having a Biblical and Fulfilling MarriageBy: Christopher Brock
December 21, 2020 One of the biggest buzz words you will hear concerning marriages in these modern times is the word compatibility. It seems like so much focus is placed up being “compatible” with each other and if you are not compatible then that means that you are not going to have a happy marriage. The main definition is being compatible is with two or more things can exist or work together without conflict. Now let me be honest, my hope for my wife and I is not simply to exist without....

Remember Our First LoveBy: Coria Brock
November 21, 2020 Have you abandoned the love you had at first? This will be a serious comment from the Son of God to His church – His bride (Revelation 2:4). This is also a question for those of us who are husband and wife. O how my heart is getting heavy while I think about this question. I am reviewing my heart asking myself, “Have I also abandoned the love I had for my husband at first?” From the time God showed me that He has a man for me to be my husband, I began praying for him....

Setting an Example of How Christ Love His ChurchBy: Christopher Brock
October 21, 2020 There is no question that children are a blessing from the Lord. When a husband and wife have children and begin to raise them there is also no question that there are many new and increased demands that they must carry. Now, not only do they have their relationship with the Lord to grow and their relationship with each other, they also have a relationship with their children. They are now responsible for the well-being and growth of their children. If you ask anyone.... To read more click here |

A Wife' Prayer By: Coria Brock
September 21, 2020 First of all I want to ask a question, should we begin praying as a wife for our husband on the day that we marry them? Let us look at Genesis and see what we can learn from the story of Adam and Eve, “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 then closed up the place with flesh. Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.” (2:21-22, NIV) To read more click here |

Harmony in The FamilyBy: Christopher Brock
August 21, 2020 What do most people think about when they think about a family? I believe that the truth is that for many people all across the world, that picture may be quite different. For me, I believe that the picture of a family is a group of people, who may be biologically or legally related or not, living their lives together and loving each other just as Christ loves them. The relationships are peaceful and the focus of each person is not upon their own happiness, but upon the happiness.... To read more click here |

Unequally YokedBy: Coria Brock
July 21, 2020 Marriage itself is a covenant, a commitment of love regardless of what may occur. As it is said, “For better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part.” Because of this, the devil will never stop trying to destroy any and all marriages, both of Christians and non-Christians. For Christian couples specifically, he knows that in Christ, death has no power over them and cannot “do them apart.” In him, the devil .... To read more click here |

Biblical Intimacy In MarriageBy: Christopher Brock
June 21, 2020 Whenever we hear the words intimacy and marriage used in the same sentence it is likely that our minds go to one conclusion… this is going to be about the sexual relationship between husband and wife. However, if that is the first conclusion that we come to then I believe that it points to one truth, we do not fully grasp what true Biblical intimacy is between a husband and a wife. With that in mind, what we are going to be talking about today is what real intimacy between .... To read more click here |

Seeing Me Through God's EyesBy: Coria Brock
May 21, 2020 This was my prayer, a prayer I made to God, “Abba, the man You have prepared for me, may he see me through Your eyes”. Then one day, a man who is the son of a pastor I am friends with from the US, messaged me through Facebook Messenger and sent invitation to be my friend on Facebook. This is the man who I have now been married to for five years, he is my husband and I am his wife. When we first met, we lived far apart, on opposite sides of the earth. To read more click here |
