AWMTT Proudly presents:

It is always God’s will that married couples stay together. Again, the scripture says that which God puts together let no man put asunder. Unfortunately, some marriages were not put together by God, while others came together but were not prepared for the days ahead. Make no mistake about it, it’s always in the Father’s will that we live happy lives. Many have testified that they were happier when they were single. Others were honest enough to say that they witnessed in their spirit on their wedding day not to marry the individual before them. Parents and guardians were in disagreement with the union but remained silent, wishing later that they should have agreed with their parental instincts about what they felt was in the best interest for their son or daughter. I pray that the tools in this book will provide an avenue to help lower the divorce rate. Approximately 40-50% of first marriages end in divorce. The rate for second marriages is even higher, 60-67%. One of the reasons I believe the rates are so high is due to the lack of preparation. One of the contributing factors to a lack of preparation for marriages is not having the sufficient amount of knowledge that is required. Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge. Many couples get married but circumstances and challenges that arise prove that they were not as ready as they believed they were.

Jeremiah 23:18 For who hath stood in the counsel of the Lord, and perceived and heard his Word? As I face the challenge of seeking the face of the Lord for answers for His people, I can honestly say that I was blessed with the wealth of knowledge that the Father loosed into my spirit to give to His people. I refer to the Lord sometimes by calling Him a solution-oriented God. Matthew 9:36 But when He (Jesus) saw the multitude, He was moved with compassion because they fainted and were scattered abroad... In the midst of people giving up, caving in, even quitting on having a desire to get married or married again, my prayer is that you receive the compassion that is in my heart for marriages as well as the insights that are revealed in this book in hopes that it could rekindle a desire in your heart for that which God calls honorable (Hebrews 13:4). 

Marriage is honorable. The uprooting of pain and the repairing of trust are two essential ingredients that are needed to renovate your marriage. God promises to restore the unhealthy years of marriage that were lost. (Joel 2:25) But let us be real, it’s a process. So allow the wisdom, knowledge and understanding that is contained in this book begin to launch you toward renovating your marriage to shine to the glory of God.

Also to the singles who desire to be married, examine the marriages that you see around you. Don’t be judgmental or critical. Learn from the mistakes that we’ve made and purpose with all of your heart not to repeat them as you prepare for your husband or wife. Remember the words of wisdom of the late Dr. Myles Munroe saying, “Wisdom is not power, but applied wisdom is power.” So as you are preparing for your mate in the future, which I am hoping for you would be God’s good, acceptable, and perfect will, with no sorrows added, take inventory of the things that you’ve been through, any hurts, any pains, any wrong marriages that were modeled before you, to

make the necessary corrections before you proceed in connecting with someone. 

(Psalms 147:3) He heals the broken-hearted... Lastly, my encouragement to you is to get healed from previous relationships or any pain that you experienced in your upbringing. This will allow you to connect with someone else in a new relationship being healthy and avoiding the pain of the past.

Father, in the name of Jesus, I pray that the contents in this book will help all of our marriages to make the necessary upgrades. A husband or wife who reads this book will no longer have to just tolerate the person that they’re married to, but with the tools that are given here, they can begin to celebrate one another. And Lord for the singles, my prayer is that they have a blessed, healthy marriage of not just happiness but joy and peace as they pursue the person that You’ve blessed them with to be an asset to their lives and not a liability, and that they refuse to compromise their standards in their pursuit of marriage. And also, God let Your grace be released upon any individual that reads this book and does not desire to get married yet or again. May they know that it’s OK to glorify You in their body, their spirit and their soul while giving themselves wholly to You. May the joy of the Lord continue to be their strength.


In Jesus’ name,

Amen.
