Wow! I needed this! My husband and I needed this. Bc of sin we both had children outside of marriage and before we knew each other. So there have been a few times where we’ve put our children before one another bc we’ve known them longer and are blood. Thank you for your ministry. I will be applying what I’ve learned today!
Because of sin? Lmao what?
great video!!
I love you both
If you cant trust your partner to love your children and make the right choices with you then you shouldn’t be marrying them. From experience both as a child of blended families (on both sides) and as a step Mom the family dynamic is healthier when husband and wife are one and united in Gods love. Then together they parent. That does require that you are married to an honorable person that genuinely loves your children but again you should know that before you marry them. When you are not united the kids see it and use it. That continues to cause problems and arguments and then the marriage fails and the kids go through more heartache. God knew what would happen in the end of the world all those years ago, and blended families existed in Jesus’s time. Search the bible you will not find a teaching that says that the design for marriage is blended families is different than with biological parents. Trust in Gods plan!
God isn't real
If the gov't didn't support divorce for 'ANY' damn reason I would already be married
I think you have to acknowledge reality and you are moving people into a position to deny that reality. there are fundamental elements to to the creation of another life you are responsible for that life. you are not responsible for the life somebody else creates. acknowledge and own the fact and respect that each person is obviously going to care more about what they created beyond what they did not create. You were doing children a huge disservice by being disloyal to those you created. Life is hard enough as it is. If you are in a second relationship then you divide and honor what you created. You do not have the right to expose your children to a stranger that has a personal agenda to displace your children and they will be displaced. That is the nature of that second marriage.Your children don't have any obligation to that person that you chose. Children have an obligation to their own mother their own father the power of my child my dad my mom when you attempt to rationalize that away by not acknowledging the relationship that created children. the sanctity of marriage statement that you are making does not apply if you have already created life and that is why it talks about what God brought together let no man interfere with that's second marriage is that interference you do not have the right as a human being to deny a life that you created to be less important then a relationship you engage in as an adult. you are choosing another person, not your wife, not your husband, and understand and own your choice because it is not the choice of your child. You need to respect and honor the fact that children need both their mothers and their fathers and you may want this new replacement mother but your children certainly don't. Relate with your children yes but individually by yourself while she or he is visiting with their children. you don't seem to understand fully the concept of the meaning of "Become one flesh" God meant when he said become of one flesh and the significance of that statement. one flesh is literal. One flesh iS the child.The child has the flesh of both parents. It is a disgrace and an abomination for you to expect your child to deal with this person you brought into their lives that has nothing to do with them and it's not their choice. You are not permitted to devalue your creation nor elevate the creation of another person's children to an equal or higher value of your own. it is wrong it damages your children it damages what you are responsible for and it is not just till there 18 it is for their entirety of their life. your instruction is leading people the wrong way and it is extremely detrimental to the child whom did not ask to be born but you chose to have us. honor that so that your children can honor you.
Raggedy daCat I agree.
I absolutely and totally disagree the marriage then children does put the marriage at the center but if you make a choice to leave your spouse you have an obligation and a responsibility to the life that you created because that is more of a priority than your new relationship you are destroying children with your message
Raggedy daCat no the marriage comes first they are your responsibility. then you shouldn't get married. according to God your spouse comes first so you can show the children a healthy marriage. the kids will grow up and leave. the marriage is till death do you part. never show the kids they come first you will destroy the marriage.
@@kayastarlove fuck off shithead
children cannot come first in marriage the couple has to put God and each other first marriage is a different dynamic it has several different person's involve so a child can't be first. The couple relationship is what keeps the home and family together
@@michellecharles9863 Bible prohibits remarriage.
