Pray for Marriages (Recipe for a Perfect Marriage)

Greetings Prayer Warriors,

Holidays are always filled with sweet smells and laughter emanating from the kitchen.   These memories remain with us and bring us comfort and joy, especially when we remake these recipes year to year.

These reflections on recipes from the kitchen  got me to wondering what the perfect recipe would be for marriage.

Recipe for Marital Happiness

Start with a solid foundation (Jesus) from which to build this masterpiece.
Add 2 endless portions of commitment
Stir in enough sugar to keep it sweet
Spice it up as needed
Offer Prayers to the Holy Spirit to serve as leavening to prevent collapse.
Take turns kneading it occasionally to keep it in proportion and not let it grow beyond the foundation.
Keep it undercover in the warmer daily
Allow to cool so that it never becomes overheated
Drizzle in honey to counterbalance any unintended bitterness
To prevent crustiness, keep moist as needed
Remain watchful
Serve at room temperature.

Notes:
Adding nuts is a personal preference
Frequent sanitation results in a more appealing aroma.

For a better translation, see below:

Let love be sincere; hate what is evil, hold on to what is good; love one another with mutual affection; anticipate one another in showing honor. Do not grow slack in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope, endure in affliction, persevere in prayer. Romans 12:9-12

Share the recipe with others so they always have a starter.

Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet

Like any good recipe, pass it on and spread the joy!
