Scripture reading is good for marriage
9 Wherefore,
it burdeneth my soul that I should be constrained, because of the
strict commandment which I have received from God, to admonish you
according to your crimes, to enlarge the wounds of those who are already
wounded, instead of consoling and healing their wounds; and those who
have not been wounded, instead of feasting upon the pleasing word of God
have daggers placed to pierce their souls and wound their delicate
minds.
As
I read this scripture I noticed that it gave wonderful instruction on
the way to heal wounds as Jacob says that instead of consoling and
healing their wounds, instead of feasting upon the pleasing word of God;
there are daggers placed to pierce their souls and wound their delicate
minds.
In
this scripture Jacob is teaching husbands that what they should be
doing is reading and enjoying in the words of God in the scriptures and
through the prophets, and as well that he himself would like to be
enjoying the scriptures with them; instead of telling them what he had
been commanded to tell them.
The
scriptures are a great source of peace and joy in my life. I have never
had the opportunity to study scriptures with a spouse and discuss
thoughts on the scriptures with an eternal companion; but I can only
imagine that it would be the most fulfilling, joyful, and healing thing
that a couple could do in their marriage.
