“Marriage 101” on KKYX Radio 680am San Antonio, Texas
Hosts: Starr & Bob Calo–oy
Guest: Steve and Debbie Wilson
Broadcast Date: January 16, 2010

David Reyna, Pastor of Calvary Chapel Southside, speaks about relationships in marriage and the importance of children and corrective behavior.

If you can help monitor and coach your children’s activities and their entertainment, you can help lessen the strife in your home and marriage relationship.

He shares his testimony of drugs and such as a young man with a slogan “never sober” and came to know God’s voice in an auditorium at an Amway meeting.  At this time he had no Christian support with family or friends.

He came back to his drinking and carousing and debauchery.  For about a year and a half he was back in his real life but wasn’t really happy.  He says that he didn’t realize what had happened, and went through the motions.  The Lord was saying “what are you doing?  You have to get where I want you to be”.  He says it was a journey and a process that took one year.  Throughout this time, pain and confusion was increasing, and God would direct his attention to what he needed, and his friends were coming to know God.  Eventually he was done with his old life, and he turned to The Lord.  One day his friend and mentor wrote him a letter, and God spoke to David saying “this time you need to listen” and it was a perfect time for him to receive The Word.  From that moment on he found a church and has never turned back.

He says that there are many resources that we can use that will help us be better spouses and parents, and who are we to not be our best for those we love?  Parentingisaministry.org is a wonderful resource

Jesus laid down his life for us, so we should put our wives first!  If we have a resource that is limited to only one person, as husbands we need to make sure our wives get it.  As man of the household we pretty much feel that as head of household we get the lion’s portion…which is un-Christ-like!  Put your loved one first, men, and you will reap the blessings promised by God to the leaders of the house.

Women, step back and allow your husband to step forward, and when he does, yield to his authority.  Let him be what God says he should be.  God put the husband in the role of spiritual and household leader, and act Christ like.  You will receive more blessings in that support role as partner when he does his part as well.  You are better able to focus your energies that way as a God loving and God fearing family.   In our day to day lives we make those sacrifices for what we want.  We want those season game tickets, men, and will save that money or do without something else to get it.  Ladies, you want to get that special outfit or that expensive hairdo, and will crimp and save to do it.  Your spiritual life is the same!  You will need to make allowances for what you wish to accomplish.

Men, if you’re not teaching your family the Word of God, and not leading by example, you’re going to get lost on a personal level and as a husband/father.  You can’t teach what you don’t know and you can’t lead where you won’t go.  You can be in God’s loving arms willingly and lean into them and be sheltered by them, in his healing and blessed light.  If you do what you’re supposed to do, your blessed marital union will prosper and multiply.  Whatever you have been provided will be shared with everyone around you, and will grow and grow as a fire’s heat is felt not only by those sitting beside it, but by those in sight and passing by.  Surrender to God as willing partners and it is that simple, pray and receive!  Sometimes men have a tendency to live like Adam, don’t lean on your own understanding, you’re heart is wicked and deceitful, tainted by the desires of the flesh.  Use the filter of the word of God, and that standard will show you the way in all aspects of life.  What was truth then is Always truth, regardless of the society, year or country.  God welcomes all and his word is eternal!
