KEEP YOUR PRIORITIES STRAIGHT- RESPONCIBILITY AHEAD OF PLEASURE

Develop your business first before building your house. Proverbs 24:27.... Marital bliss isn’t all fun and games- never has been and never will be. Even Adam and Eve, living in the Garden of Eden, had work to do. And heaven will require responsibility as well as recreation. Rule one is, work before play. Gt your chores done, then have a good time. This is important to remember if you are the less responsible, more fun-loving partner. Playing while work goes undone will add to your spouse’s stress, not alleviate it. (But remember, you overly responsible types: the work is never done. Learn to relax.) Rule two is, needs before wants. Before you buy nonessentials, budget your money so you can pay bills, cover unexpected expenses, reduce debt, and save. When your finances are in order, you and your spouse can truly enjoy those little extras. Rule three is, Career before dream house. A home is a good investment, but don’t jump in over your head. Establish your livelihood first, let that determine your standard of living, and be content with how the Lord has chosen too bless you. Marriage involves a great deal of responsibility, but if you keep your priorities straight, it can be heavenly!
