053 – Are you looking for companionship?

Here's the story of how I met my wife! Some of the ideas in this episode can help you find, nurture, or repair a relationship.

Last week was the 32nd anniversary of when my wife and I met. It's quite a story. And there was a special prayer that prepared me for that wonderful day when I first looked into my wife's eyes and knew she was the one I would marry.

Prayer for companionship

There is so much in this story that shows how God brought us together. And I share the special prayer that helped me find my wife.

Marriages in the Bible

In this episode I also talk about a few of the marriages in the Bible where we get to see how a couple meets:

• Isaac and Rebecka
• Jacob and Rachel
• Ruth and Boaz
• David and Abigail
• David and Bathsheba
• Esther and Ahazuerus

In each of these stories, I look at the qualities the people expressed. What is it that attracts them to the person they marry? Sometimes they are good qualities. Sometimes, not so good, as with David with Bathsheba.

Are you looking for a companion?

What are you really looking for? What qualities do you want in a companion? Do you expect to find fulfillment if someone else? That never really works. The sooner you find your own completeness, the sooner you will be attracted to someone who is right for you and the sooner they will be attracted to you.

If you are already married, there are still some great ideas in this episode about how to pray to maintain and renew your relationship with your spouse.

Hope you enjoy this episode. Check out the Bible references in this episode on the show notes page: thebiblespeakstoyou.com/053.

If you know someone who is looking for companionship, please share this with them.

Have a great week.

Blessings,
James
