My Presence in Your Marriage, Jesus Speaks on Marriage

                                      May 28, 2015

My children I did not make you for more than one mate. I made you to be united to the one of My choosing all the days of your life and to find joy in one another's arms and company.

An excerpt and a transcription of the Lord Jesus' message on marriage:

Jesus:  I want to talk about the marriage bed, by marriage bed I mean the relationships  you're in right now, your marriages. Some of you have defiled your marriage bed  by thinking of other people rather than your spouse when you're having relations. This is a very common sin that eventually leads to adultery and of course the scripture says that is adultery. My children I did not make you for more than one mate. I made you to be united to the one of My choosing all the days of your life and to find joy in one another's arms and company. But you tend to grow weary and bored with your beloved whom I have chosen and you become lax in your relationship and do not show the marks of affection or do the things that please Me, to draw closer to one another. Sometimes I call you to set aside your work as I did tonight with Exequiel and Clare to spend time together just being there for one another and ensuring what I have done in your lives: your children, your animals, your homes and the simple things.

Clare: Now we're very sweet tonight. We came home and walked the cats and the dogs the second time and set out in the field with them and while they played in sagebrush just watch this, sky dimming and turning into the evening. It was very calming and refreshing.

Jesus: Even your special time with Me is to draw one another into your espousal relationship which rather than vying against your spouse. I bring you closer to your spouse.
If you have a serious problem in your marriage that is not being resolved in you're spending more time with Me to escape the boredom, you're not balanced. I want you to have fun with your mate. And I'm not talking about marital relations but marital relationships. I'm present through your spouse. How I hunger for the love between souls to grow. I inhabit the space, it brings me joy. Can you not feel My presence in one another? I am there,truly there in the celebration of your love. Too many use work in spirituality as an escape from the less satisfying marriage. The tender feelings you have for your spouse originate in My heart and I have My way of lavishing love on them as well. You need this outpouring of love and concern for one another. It is healing and sanctifying for both of you. I fill you with the very real intention of seeing you lavish it  on other souls especially your husbands and wives when healing is needed. Sometimes healing is administered through showing that you care enough to go out and eat together, watching  movie together or play with your animals or one another. This brings balance and makes for a well rounded life. A well rounded life is able to carry others. It is when you become lopsided and escape through your work, the damage is done to yourselves and to one another. So, I am asking you make this a week of being devoted to your spouse when you have the urge to work or clean or do other time-consuming activities. Exercise special control and do something together to show how much you care. Let them express what they want to and follow their lead. Too often couples are selfish with one another and exert their preferences on their partner. Rather than do that, deny yourself and engage in what pleases them and I will bless you both. Regardless of the shortness of time, still there is an  example to be made on your children on how to love sacrificially while totally enjoying yourself. This they will hold in remembrance and will give them a good foundation on how to yield to one another and have a healthy marriage.

I want to bless you now with the desire for selfless love for the soul I have entrusted to you in matrimony.

Ask yourself, what would Jesus do, how would He yield and care for the one He has given His heart to. Just as Paul exhorted you:husbands love your wives just as Christ also loves the church and gave Himself up for her so that He might sanctify her having cleansed her by the washing of  water with the Word. It is so little understood that marriage is preparation in heaven. Love is so very intense  and all consuming in the bonding stages of marriage, in order that when trials come. you will both cleave to one another and show the respect due to one another.
In your culture so many are looking for illicit sexual pleasure. That is not love, it is simply lust and the desire for more stimulation. That is not  what I created marriage to be. It grows deeper and deeper and farther and farther away from the flesh as the years pass. It transcends physical pleasure and blossoms into spiritual sanctity whereby both parties become ready for heaven. 
So take this week to honor Me. Remember the purpose I brought you together with your spouse for. And that I have called you into a sacred trust to love and prepare one another for My coming. 

For those who have unconverted spouses, the very best thing you can do for your mate is to leave behind the fragrance of My love.
