Welcome!

All marriages go through rough and trying times.
Healthy marriages are almost abnormal these days with close to
sixty percent ending in divorce. Marriages are clearly a
battleground where the Devil is having great success. The
Bolden's refuse to give him any ground, and are fighting with
every weapon that God has given them to defeat him and rescue
these marriages from his clutches to the glory of God.
W. J. Bolden Ministries conduct marriage enrichment
conferences held twice a year specifically designed with all
married couples in mind. Over many years of ministry and
serving hundreds of couples, either through pre-marital or
post-marital counseling has given the Bolden's a great
understanding and appreciation of what it takes to succeed in
marriage. The conferences are rewarding and touch
relationships on many different fronts. They help you
understand what God's purpose is for marriage. His plan
for success, and what His provision is to supply you with all
the tools necessary to enjoy each other to the glory of God, and
until death itself separates you. |
Our goal is for couples from the Dallas metroplex
and beyond, will learn the principles that will challenge,
change, and cultivate relationships that will become models for
others to see and emulate. This is a way for some to
maintain what they already have and for others to start
something new and fresh.
W. J. Bolden Ministries seeks to equip, encourage and empower
couples to fulfill their mission in the kingdom of
God.
Doctor W. J. Bolden is also Pastor and
Founder of These Are They Community Church in Desoto, TX (www.thesearethey.org).
Please keep checking here for the next scheduled conference and

Church to meet as well as hear the dynamic Doctor W. J. Bolden
and meet the 1st Lady, then go to

TEN BIBLICAL
RULES FOR A HAPPY MARRIAGE |
|
Never bring up
mistakes of the past.
Stop criticizing others or it will come back on you.
If you forgive others, you will be forgiven.
-Luke 6:37
|
Neglect the
whole world rather than each other.
And how do you benefit if you gain the whole world but
lose your own soul in the process?
-Mark 8:36
|
Never go to
sleep with an argument unsettled.
And don't sin by letting anger gain control over you.
Don't let the sun go down while you are still angry.
-Ephesians 4:26
|
At least once a
day, try to say something complimentary to your spouse.
Gentle words bring life and health: a deceitful tongue
crushes the spirit.
-Proverbs 15:4
|
Never meet
without an affectionate welcome.
Kiss me again and again, your love is sweeter than wine.
-Song of Solomon 1:2
|
"For richer or
poorer" -rejoice in every moment that God has given you
together.
A bowl of soup with someone you love is better than
steak with someone you hate.
-Proverbs 15:17
|
If you have a
choice between making yourself or your mate look good,
choose your mate.
Do not withhold good from those who deserve it when
it's in your power to help them.
-Proverbs 3:27
|
If they're
breathing, your mate will eventually offend you.
Learn to forgive. I am warning you, if another
believer sins, rebuke him; then if he repents, forgive
him.
Even if he wrongs you seven times a day and each time
turns again and asks forgiveness, forgive him.
-Luke 17:3 & 4
|
Don't use
faith, the Bible or God as a hammer.
God did not send His Son into the world to condemn it,
but to save it.
-John 3:17
|
Let love be
your guidepost. Love is patient and kind.
Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude.
Love does not demand its own way. Love is not
irritable and it keeps no record of when it has been
wronged.
-1 Cor. 13:4 & 5
