Respect Your Wife
This is the second thing you do, says God.
You cry and weep, covering the Lords altar with tears. Saying "why doesn't God accept my offering?"
Because God has been the witness of how you treat your wife. You have treated her with treachery! Yet she is your companion, and your wife by the marriage covenant.
...pay attention to your words and actions! That you do not deal treacherously!
Malachi 2:13-16 from Holy Scripture - the Bible

Conscious Dignity
It is the privilege of everyone to so live that God will approve and bless (her).
….It is not the will of your heavenly Father that you should ever be under condemnation and darkness.
It is not pleasing to God that you should demerit yourself.
…While we should not think of ourselves more highly than we ought, the Word of God does not condemn a proper self-respect.
…child of God, we should have a conscious dignity of character, in which pride and self-importance have no part.”
Excerpts from Daughters of God 142, E G White

Self-worth, Self-Respect
Many struggle with feelings of self-worth and value.
The Lord has given each one of us a sense of self respect, and this must not be opposed….
God wants us to respect ourselves.

Problems of Marriage
Satan hates marriage - this is no surprise. He is behind all marriage problems!
Satan causes strife, arguments, anger, adultery, jealousy, bitterness, envy, sexual sin, and a slew of other problems - especially those dealing with the emotions.
There is a war going on! Between Satan and his minions, and God and His holy angels. Between the devil and Gods people. [See this Blog site dated June 13, 2015 - No Mimic Battle].
Stay true to Jesus, ask His Holy Spirit for help and discernment. Focus on Jesus love for you.
Stay true to God and your spouse. Honor your marriage.
If there is violence, seek shelter, get help.

Ashley Madison - Forgiveness
Compassion for those who have been exposed by the Ashley Madison hack has been in short supply. There has been a lot of "they got what they deserved," even though the innocent spouses, children and family members deserved nothing of the sort.
But the truth is, we all have secrets! How would you feel if your most personal details were exposed? What if your deeply-held secrets were published on a searchable database? Yet as uncomfortable as that sounds, the Bible is clear that one day the private secrets of all people who have ever lived are going to be revealed.
The Bible says, "Fear God and give Him glory, for the hour of His judgment is come." Revelation 14:7. And Daniel 7:10 states, "...the judgment was set, and the books were open."
The Books of Record that contain the deeds and misdeeds of every person (good or evil) will one day be opened. As Solomon wrote in Holy Scripture, "God will bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it is good, or whether it be evil." Ecclesiastes 12:14.
While many are trying to figure out how to handle the damage caused to their reputations, God offers every person a simple remedy. Acts 3:19 states, "Repent and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the Lord."
In the judgment that precedes Jesus' return, the sins of those who have faith in God will be blotted out. When the Books are opened, their pages are clear rather than stained by sin. In place of sin is purity and righteousness. The grace that forgives is the grace that cleanses, and in the judgment the redeemed are found to be white as snow (Isaiah 1:18).
The woman taken in adultery repented for her sin and heard Jesus say, "neither do I condemn you" John 8:11
Repentance opens the door to the cleansing power of God. Grace does not justify sinful behavior, but it does justify the sinner.
God sees the hearts of all, and He does so without condemnation. King David wrote that God "knows our frame, He remembers that we are only dust" Psalm 103:14, and God loves us anyway.
Holy Scripture promises that "if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" 1 John 1:9.
We all have secrets. What shouldn't be a secret is that God is able to cleanse and heal, remake, restore, forgive. The reality of the judgment isn't only that sinners will be judged, but that sinners - when they repent - are forgiven! God offers that hope to all sinners everywhere.

A Good Reputation
Choose a good reputation over great riches, for being held in high esteem is better than silver or gold

Valentine's Day
In high school and college I was very particular as to who I dated. The guy had to show respect for himself; if he had no respect for himself how could he have respect for me?
Respect was very important, as was morality, which included no smoking, drinking, drugs or lewd behavior. (I did not date much, but married a gem of a husband!)
I did not start dating until I was almost seventeen.
And am proud to say I kept my promise made at a young age and was a chaste virgin for my future husband.
We have been married over 40 (forty) consecutive years!
