 Amid disquieting dreams in the night, when deep sleep falls on men, fear and trembling seized me and made all my bones shake. Job 4:13-14
And he said to man, ‘The fear of the Lord - that is wisdom, and to shun evil is understanding.' Job 28:2 8 The LORD is my light and my salvation - whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life - of whom shall I be afraid? Psa. 27:1 I sought the LORD, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears. Psa. 34:4 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. I Peter 5:7

FACTS AND FALLACIES OF INTIMACY: PART 5 — CAN I DEPEND ON YOU? YOU PROMISED...AT OUR WEDDING9/10/2014  FALLACY
My mate should always be there for me, to help me meet all my needs. That’s why we got married – to be help-mates. FACT You married a human being; these types are at times unpredictable and unhelpful. Yet, with the proper expectations your marriage can be a very enjoyable experience.
