 Special Women Conference May 3rd, 2008

Our sisters who have been in marriage from 25-47 yrs where asked to tell us the secret for lasting relationship in marriage.

Linda Powell 35YRS -perseverance, we persevere ,remember we are two   different people with different up bringing and background,  do what ever it takes to make the relationship work, pray together.

NG 25years to forgive and not to count your partners fault, which takes Gods grace, if you close your eyes to his faults, God will open your eyes to see your own fault. Forgive each other, commitment, as a child of God you know you have gotten into it (marriage) and you are not going any were. God does not like divorce. Ask God what to do when there is problem to teach you what to do. Look very well before you go into marriage. With God by your side with commitment and forgiveness

You will last for 100yrs.

JS 47 YRS IN MAARIAGE We said our vows it became reality. Commitment and trust.

Josephine Gibson 29yrs

It was good. Persevere, prayed and take your commit seriously. God said you ask me every day to forgive you, you have to forgive. Learn to forgive 7x 77times. And the two shall become one.

Chi Onyedike 30yrs.

The most important thing is to ask God to give you inner peace that is beyond man understanding, so that when something comes you don’t want that peace to be disturbed. Pray together, family that prays together stay together. Forgiveness, some times we ask for forgiveness for ourselves.

Knowing that we don’t come from same place, and background and commitment can not be over emphasized. Keep your mind focus on the relationship, when you begin to think or look else where, than you get distracted, remember it is not greener on the other side.
