Marriage Matters

Mr. Wonderful and I attended a Marriage Matters workshop at our church last Saturday. The workshop was based upon the book Lasting Love, How to Avoid Marital Failure by our pastor, Alistair Begg. I believe this book should be read by anyone thinking about marriage, is already married, or knows someone who is married!

Since these free resources have just been made available, here's the link to watch the videos or listen to the audio of the seminar we attended.

  2. Be sure to watch both parts when you have the time. Part 1 is about Avoiding Marital Messes and Part 2 is Repairing Marital Messes. The Q&A session is not included. I also found that while watching the videos the songs Alistair used as examples were not included (probably due to music copyright laws).

    The songs were:

    Paul Simon's 50 Ways to Lose Your Lover

    Neil Diamond's You Don't Bring Me Flowers Anymore

    Do You Love Me? from Fiddler on the Roof

    and then the Sheldon Silverstein poem/song entitled: Put Another Log on the Fire

    Put another log on the fire,
    Cook me up some bacon and some beans,
    Go out to the car and change the tire,
    Wash my socks and sew my old blue jeans.

    Baby, fill my pipe and then go fetch my slippers,
    Boil me up another pot of tea.
    Put another log on the fire, girl,
    Come and tell me why you're leaving me.

    Don't I let you wash the car on Sunday?
    Don't I warn you when you're getting fat?
    Ain't I gonna take you fishing some day?
    Well, a man can't love a woman more than that.

    Ain't I always nice to your kid sister,
    Don't I take her driving every night?
    So sit here at my feet
    because I like you when you're sweet
    And you know that it ain't feminine to fight.

    Put another log on the fire,
    Cook me up some bacon and some beans,
    Go out to the car and change the tire,
    Wash my socks and sew my old blue jeans.

    Fill my pipe and then go fetch my slippers,
    Boil me up another pot of tea.
    Put another log on the fire, woman,
    Come and tell me why you're leaving me.
    Yeah, come and tell me why you're leaving me.

    It was a GREAT marriage seminar!
