1Cor.7:16 For how do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?

So many Christian's believe they are saved through tough love, remembering only the times some body got into their face over a fault, but in truth, it is those that showed us constant patience, and love despite are failing that finally brings us to Christ, what does this mean?

Many are brought to Christian's meetings, and other events by tough criticism and guilt, but none are brought to Christ Jesus through such conduct, why? Because God loved us while we were yet sinners, our often self-destructive events leading us to know God's love in Jesus Christ are the fruitage of our own life. Many Christian's equated this with God bring punishment upon them to turn them too Christ Jesus, when in truth God is using our own failing too give us good gifts of His love in tender mercy.

James 1:13 Let no man say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God," for God can't be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one.

Nor should a mate bring evil upon an unbelieving mate thinking they will turn one too God, rather, a person cannot get out of this world without suffering evil for their own ways. Thus, a wise person will be tender in compassion too their mate while God's love in Christ Jesus draws the unbelieving mate too Himself. People come to a warm fire in the cold they are drawn by such warmth, whereas, cold judgment pushes other away from us. Husbands and wives should remember your ownership of a mate does not give you the right to take away free will, even-though, this is taught by many will meaning Christian's it is an evil and not love.

Each Christian's must ask do I want a temporary fix, that is, now in this flesh that will die, or eternal perfection of faith for my mate? Are you tried of dealing with problems, do you deserve better according to your understanding of God's word the bible? If you answer yes to these questions than you are a fleshly person seeking what is best for you. Now think of this, are you one person with your mate before the Christ, if so, Christ tells us that we are joined by love as body members; does your hand on your body seek its own interest and comfort more than the bodies? We are not speaking about real abuse, we are speaking about those wanting everything their way, there is a huge difference, you cannot be in Christ and have everything your way when it come to your mate!

Eph.5:29 For no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Lord also does the assembly;
5:30 because we are members of his body, of his flesh and bones. 5:31 "For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will be joined to his wife. The two will become one flesh."{Genesis 2:24} 5:32 This mystery is great, but I speak concerning Christ and of the assembly. 5:33 Nevertheless each of you must also love his own wife even as himself; and let the wife see that she respects her husband.
