MARRIAGE UNDER REPAIR Written by: Diane Patterson Onuntuei

I saw him pull her hair

And then punch her face.

Oh my God, what has gotten

Into this human race?

Oh man, don’t you know

That is not the way you should care

For the woman that you loved and married,

You know that is not fair.

The bible says you should cherish

And love your wife,

Just as you love yourself

But it appears that you yourself need help.

And my dear little sister,

Why do you provoke your man

And push him to the end

Where he can no longer stand?

You are supposed to submit

Yourself to your husband,

And reverence him through,

And be kind, and loving, and true.

We have to make some

Changes in this here life

So there can peace

Between husbands and wives!

What are the children going to say?

What are they going to do

When they find out that mommy and daddy’s

Relationship is through?

Then as they grow up and try to start anew,

What do you think they will do?

You can do better husband and wife

If you let God show you how to forgive and do it right.

I know that she may have hurt you

And I know that he may have been wrong

But God says what He has joined together,

Man should not pull apart

Therefore, you need to forgive

From deep within your heart

And then take a new stand

And look at each other again

And say: I truly love you dear,

I didn’t mean to hurt you,

But I was ravaged with anger and fear.

Come my darling; let us try again,

But this time we will do it with Him

I know that we can win.

Let us humble ourselves before God

And pray day and night.

We don’t have to have a broken marriage

But we can win this fight.

Dear God: we ask You to forgive us

For the foolish things we have done.

And now we want to try love again,

But this time with your Son.

Help us through the hard times

As we seek Your holy face;

And help us through the good times

To give You all of the praise for your grace.

This institution of marriage

May not be easy all of the time

But it is certainly not a time to continually whine.

God intended that man should not live alone

So don’t give up your good thing,

But cherish her in your home.

She is the weaker sex and

God made you the head.

Therefore you should stand strong

And let the family be led

In a godly way, teach them to stand and pray,

And be an example for the children.

Then you will look forward to fulfilled years

With minimized tears and you will give God all of the glory.

“. . . What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.” (Matt.19:6).
