Honourable Marriages

Marriage is honourable, in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge. (Hebrews 13:4)

God brought together man and wife, that means that we must love each other and be fruitful, His creation is a gift of love, we are to satisfy, care and enjoy the great pleasures that intimacy brings to a healthy marriage. Be content, for God will bring desires to your heart.

Welcome to Living In Praise, I would like to share with all of you a book I published through CrossBooks Publishers. What is True Love in a Marriage". This book is about the love we find in a marriage and the words of the creator of Love, God's words are inspirational and powerful, it is an unspeakable gift.

My book is for all those who are seeking the word of God. The words of love are powerful in our hearts. We can build a meaningful life if we only allow ourselves to be true to our feelings. In 1 John 4:8, God said, "He that loveth not, knoweth not God; for God is love." God's words remind us that we can find happiness when we don't feel the love, and we can find comfort when we are feeling alone and separate from the person we married. We don't have to be alone, there are many that need an inspirational word, just someone who will listen and can share a word with you.

I hope this book will inspire you to pick up a copy. It is a great gift to give to someone special in your life. God has created this awesome love and has joined together man and woman to share as one. We must be thankful for his unspeakable gift. What greater gift can you give to someone you love than your True Love.

Finding the True Meaning of Love

Growing up in Reedley, Raymond Muro never expected he’d be married to a published author.

When he married his wife, Lupe, 37 years ago, neither of them expected their marriage would serve as inspiration for her book. But last week, Lupe Muro’s first book “What is True Love in a Marriage?” was released nationwide.

Muro contacted Christian publishing company Cross Books last year, curious about the process. The Los Angeles native had never planned to write a book, but the more she read the Bible, the more she became inspired by God’s word.

When her granddaughter bought her two little notebooks several years ago, she began writing down her thoughts.

“The more I read into the word of God, I was receiving messages for me to do something with those thoughts,” Muro said.

Listening to Christian radio station K-LOVE, Muro heard messages assuring listeners that they had a purpose in life, and they should utilize their talents. She never really took it personally, until one message stood out.

“One day I was listening to the radio, and she said something about using your thoughts to get God's word out,” Muro said. “I looked at the little book and thought, 'Am I supposed to do something with this?'”

She took it as a sign, and searched for the phone number of the Cross Books representative she had previously spoken with. Just as she hung up after misdialing – another “sign” solidified her decision to go forth with a book. Muro said the phone rang – and it happened to be Cross Books on the other end. She took six months to write a rough draft, and submitted her first manuscript in April. Within a week, the publishing company called with the good news that they accepted it.

“Everything just came together,” Muro said. “I knew that I had to put God's word out there. I believe that as long as you have God with you, he's going to give you the strength to work through things.”

Muro’s book will be available on Amazon.com, Borders, Barnes & Noble and other national retailers. The book examines the true meaning of love as examined by God, containing biblical references correlating with Muro’s personal reflections.

“Every thought that I put in my book, I was able to find a scripture to go with it,” she said. “It was really amazing how I came across every single scripture.”

The Muros agree that compromise is a huge secret to marital bliss, as well as accepting the fact that there is no perfect marriage. The key is knowing that God is the answer, Muro said, and couples don’t have to go it alone.

“There are a lot of marriages that are failing,” she said. “But we need to learn to open our hearts and take what God has created for us."

The Muros live in Fresno, and Raymond’s three siblings still live in Reedley.
