 Joy
Joy is the ever-present knowledge that we will be with God
in Heaven.
And if we live our lives with this sort of joy, our day-to-day
lives will certainly look very different
in my personal experience, those trials & sufferings that you
have will become lighter and easier to bear.
 When we open our hearts to the
Peace Holy Spirit, an abiding peace will
stay with us.
 Kindness
From the male perspective
[My wife] is a fantastic cook, and I really appreciate coming
home to a great dinner!
[My wife] is very appreciative of me; I love when I come
home from work and shes excited to see me and runs to the
door to greet me. Also, the little things she does for me are
very kind (the small thoughtful things like buying something
I would like while shes grocery shopping, even if its
something she wouldnt usually buy or want to buy).
 Kindness
And from the girls
My husband is such a kind person he shows me constant kindness being a servant in our home and
outside of it! Specifically, in the home he gets me whatever I need or want, and will ask me if he can do
anything for me.
The other night we were having a fight (heavy disagreement discussion short phrase fight) of
sorts. We just couldnt see eye to eye. We had to end it so we could go to sleep The next morning I
had to play piano at church and go early. He got up even though things werent fully resolved made
me coffee and helped me get out the door. He could have stayed mad at me (since I *was* being
rather disagreeable). That is not only kind, it is noble.
My husband shows kindness to me by being patient with my shortcomings, extremely helpful with
house/baby when he knows I am tired/sick/or stressed, and always thanking me for what I do. What a
great guy!
My husband makes my favorite breakfast on Saturdays and brings it to me in bed, he cleans the
kitchen when I cook, he helps with the household chores when my schedule gets busy, he washes
and maintains my car, he grocery shops when I cannot without complaining, and he prays for me!
Picks up the kids from school and makes sure homework is done and fixes dinner on the nights I
work so I can sleep.
My spouse passed away nearly 5 years ago but he showed kindness by making sure my vehicle had gas,
good wipers, etc. He also was willing to go out for meals when I was tired or felt bad.
He brings me little gifts that make my life better, because he pays attention. That is the greatest
kindness, in my opinion.
 Kindness
Accepts
Kindness doesnt keep track of every flaw and count it against another person.
Having an attitude of true kindness enables you to forgive your spouse because
youre first forgiven by a kind God.
Encourages
In all of your interactions, its best to keep Ephesians 4:29 at the front of your
mind: Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good
for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.
 Kindness
Serves
To have a marriage that sings requires a Spirit-created ability to serve, to take
yourself out of the center, to put the needs of others ahead of your own, Timothy
Keller writes.
In order for our kindness to be manifested as service, we need to be in tune with
God.
Sustains
When practiced on a daily basis, kindness like any other consistent discipline
becomes habit.
And when kindness becomes so ingrained in everything we do, it has the power to
sustain.
 Faithfulness
Katapatan
Naniniwala tayo sa Panginoon at sa lahat ng kanyang ipinahahayag sa ating.
Dapat manatili ang katapatan sa ating pagsasama sa hirap at ginhawa.
Magtulungan tayong mapanatili ang ating paniniwala na tutulungan tayo ng
banal na espiritung maisayos ang ating pagsasama bilang mag-asawa.
 Gentleness
But God calls us to be gentle. To act gentle and to speak gentle.
When your husband answers you rough or unkind, reply in a gentle
way.
When disagreement comes, speak gently.
No matter what is going on or what is being said, keep your voice,
attitude and touch gentle.
Your gentleness might not instantly make the other person turn
gentle, it may take some time. But keep answering gently and soon
the other person will become gentle too. God tells us that gentleness
turns away wrath.
Patience
Patience is the ability to tolerate or restrain yourself from reacting in
anger or frustration.
So what does patience in marriage mean?
It means being patient with your spouse, your kids, and marriage.
Furthermore, it means we have to be patient with our spouses when
they hurt or make us angry unintentionally, when our children are
disobedient, and when our marriages are not what we want them to
be.
Imagine belittling your spouse or child just because you were angry
about something trivial they did.
 Instances that patience
can be implemented in marriage
There are many instances that patience can be implemented in
marriage.
Some of the everyday instances we can all relate to are:
When fighting fairly or arguing with your spouse.
When your spouse is not paying attention or listening to you.
When your kids are being disobedient, creating a mess in the
living room,
When you are having difficulty communicating with
your spouse.
When your marriage is not where you wish it was.
 Patience in marriage
has lots of great benefits
Patience towards your spouse allows you to think before
you speak and before you react.
Patience lets your spouse have some freedom to vent their
frustration from a stressful day.
It enables you to love your spouse in such a beneficial way.
Having patience with each other will help you to fight and
argue less.
You will also have calm discussions. It encourages
good communication in marriage.
 Self-Control
Here are a few ways to practice self-control in our attitude with
our husband:
Pray, asking God to help you practice self-control
Before responding to your husband, or anyone, stop and think
how your reply with sound
Make sure your tone is laced with gentleness, another great
Fruit
When you are feeling cranky or moody, give yourself a timeout
to breath and pray
Continually listen to worship music, pray or count your
blessings, it's hard to be cranky when we are praising
 Goodness

All of the fruits of the Holy Spirit relate directly to the

character of God, and this one stands out most especially
for me because God is Goodness.
Goodness is when we act selflessly for the good of
another.
We do this everyday in our married lives or at least we
are called to, and there are countless opportunities to do
so, so its pertinent to be infused with this fruit of
goodness so that we can truly be selfless.
 How can we be good in marriage
Take your spouse's feelings, thoughts, ideas, and preferences into
consideration.
Be kind. Even when you don't feel like it.
Forgive easily.
Share your heart.
Listen closely. Even to words left unspoken.
Never stop learning about your husband.
Never stop dating.
Pray for your husband daily.
Practice goodness in your marriage and you will have a good
marriage.
