The human heart is not wrong in wanting love; it is wrong only in thinking that a human can completely supply it.
What the soul yearns for in the crisis is the Light of love, which is God, and not the shadow...
Instead of thinking that the other partner is to blame for this emptiness, which is so common today, one ought to peer into his own soul

Top 10 Consequences Of Placing God On The Back Burner (6-10)
Oh, so funny how parents suppose their children will grow up so perfect; so wonderful. Even when they themselves are broken, depressed, and have no idea, how to be a man or a woman, of great moral character. Furthermore, they deny they are bad people.
It’s hilarious, how parents and humans, really believe they are good people.
This is an utter joke! Without the Father, if they haven’t already started before 18. Percentages are high, your children will abandon you. They will abandon the faith. The will do, each and everything you hoped they wouldn’t do.
Why? Because you screwed them up. You presumed, you could do it all on your own. You turned your back on God. You robbed your children of goodness and holiness. You did this, it’s your fault. And yes, you should be ashamed!
Without God, your children will grow up; screwed up. Why? Because you believed the hype. You let society manipulate you into agreeing, evil; Satan; don’t exist.
But my friend, he does. How do I know? Brother, we are killing millions of unborn babies per year! And I bet most of, if not all of, your friends and family, assess this is perfect; it’s fine.
To repeat; Christian marriage advice for men; we are lost; insert God now; and forever!
I bet you feel lost right now? You may not want to admit the fact. But, it’s there. You may proceed day to day, using tricks of self-deception to hide reality. But most occasions, during what little self-reflection time you have. It surfaces.
Without Christ as your example. Without His grace. Without the mission of everlasting life. You will remain lost. You will remain bonded in chains. Why? Because if you in truth believe God is present, then you can’t be controlled.
Furthermore, you understand that these short 100 years on this earth are meaningless. As when compared, to eternity and immortality of the soul.
As husbands; Christian soldiers, we must understand; this life is a test. The test? CAN YOU BE OBEDIENT; CAN YOU SERVE; CAN YOU DIE TO SELF; IN ORDER TO BECOME HOLY AND WORTHY, TO STAND BEFORE THE FATHER IN JUDGEMENT!
See man, God; Christ; The Holy Spirit; The Trinity; instill true purpose and meaning in a man’s life. Without them, you are a vagabond. In essence, lost in space. Sad; but true.
You can’t be free, because you’re too busy being controlled by the government, by your brokenness, by your job; your sin! But through the Father; you can be released into everlasting freedom. Free from control of any entity.

I know Jerry; it always boils down to sex. Look, sorry, I didn’t make the rules; God did. I’m only the messenger.
One flesh is two separate souls; dying to self and joining with the Father; to create and join, in His divine love.
Don’t refuse this gift. As proclaimed before. This takes hard work, Determination, reckless abandonment. You mustn’t take this for granted. You are cheating your Beloved, your family, and yourself.
Either you want greatness or mediocrity. Sure, your sex life may be ok, or even good. But I guarantee, without the Father; it isn’t one flesh!
She won’t do this on purpose. But without the Father, she’ll be as aimless as you. She’ll be lost, because you are lost.
The reality is pitiful; but true. The Fathers grace, your refusal to embrace obedience and place God first, will damage your Beloved. She won’t look at you through the eyes of holiness and virtue. But through blinders.
Moreover, your holiness is masked. Why? Well, you have none., because God is absent. True, deep, and divine attraction, comes from the Holy Spirit, flowing from you into the world. And if you don’t embrace the faith fully, as said before; blinders cover your Beloved.
She will place the children above you. Her mother above you. Her father above you. Her sister; her brother; her friends. Her job as well. You’ll be lucky to even be in the game.
These are worst-case scenarios. However, they will in the end, invade your marriage. The invasion may take two years as in my marriage; or maybe 50 years. But without the Father, the result is inevitable.
Last, the Father is so ironic. Just as we suppose that God sends us to hell. We also conjure up; He will keep giving us grace and mercy, as long as we wish.
Wow! How arrogant, selfish, and really stupid! Remember, we have free will. A true gift given. God can only exist in the presence of purity, holiness, saints. How can you think your dirty, impure, butt can enter heaven with all the sin and evil attached to you?
See, this foolishness has been preached by ignorant so-called clerics for decades now. And its placed, millions upon millions of souls in jeopardy.
If we would stop and consider the logic of it all. None of this stuff makes sense. The logic doesn’t hold up.
So, you expect me to understand that God lowered Himself to the equivalency of a nat. In order for us to think “Once Saved, Always Saved”. Are we in complete denial or what?
This ignorance is just an excuse to partake in our own selfishness. To justify it.
As a human person, you can’t remove the rough edges from your soul, if you aren’t in complete obedience. How else can you die to self, and become holy and able to stand in front of God. See, it just doesn’t make sense, when you really consider it.
Well, let them go ahead and keep thinking this way. And God will let them determine their own destiny. The levels of hell; or a place in utter peacefulness.
