Revolutionary Thoughts on Marriage: God, Sex and You, #7

By Zacharias Tanee Fomum

Marriage is the first institution that God created. For this reason, a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh (Genesis 2:24). Professor Z.T. Fomum has taught extensively on marriage, not only in special seminars on marriage but also on various occasions during his many trips in the Lord's service, in prayer nights, etc. In his own life, he has given a living example of marriage as it should be lived, viewed from God's perspective.

It was a constant burden for him that marriages should be godly and conform to God's will. He also knew that stable homes would bring stability in the local church and have a strong influence on the children for God and His service.

This book is a compilation of some striking thoughts gathered from various encounters with Professor Fomum, during prayer or teaching meetings. He speaks as one backed by a rich personal experience, considering his knowledge of what God requires for marriage and his caring counselling of the married.

A woman’s husband wants something done in a particular way. She either does not do it or she does it her own way. Does she love her husband? She may say that she does; and there are many deceived women who, while doing the things that the husband prohibits, or doing what the husband wants their own way, still think that they love their husbands. The truth is that they don’t. The lover does all that the beloved wants, in the exact way that the beloved wants, at the moment the beloved wants and for the motive that the beloved wants.

One of the greatest things that can happen to a man is that his wife helps him in his ministry, going with him in the same direction.

The wife`s body does not belong to her alone but also to her husband. In the same way, the husband`s body does not belong to him alone but to the wife (1 Cor. 7:4).

The body of the husband belongs to the wife and the body of the wife belongs to the husband. So, if the man wants her body seven times, she gives it to him seven times and likewise the woman.

The romance has to continue all through life. It has to be a honey life, not just a honeymoon.

Maroua, 10th May, 1990.

A man must ask his wife every day what he must do to please her. It has to be clear, precise problems with specific solutions. Get the details and write them down.

The wife must likewise ask the husband, What must I do to please you? What can I prepare to please you? What can I wear to please you? She should wear those clothes at home to please the man, so he may see them. You wear them at home for him so that he sees them when he is coming back from work. A woman dresses to please her husband. The best is offered to him. And the man dresses to please his wife. He should dress to please his wife. If she says, That shirt is old, that is the end of that shirt. And if the man says, I don’t like that dress, it is the end of that dress.

Do you dress to please your husband?

A PERSON IS WHAT HE IS AT HOME. The true person is at home. Gentlemen! Boys! The girl is not what you see in the street; she is what she is at home.

If I were to look for a woman today, I would go to the home where the girl lives and see the kitchen and toilet, whether she is the girl of the home or not.

You must also see her relationships in the house…

What type of relationship does she have with the head of the home, with the woman of the home? If she is not submissive, she will fight your mother when she comes to visit you.

What relationship does she have with the children of the home? That is how she will treat her own children.

And if she has no relationship with anyone in the home, she will surely have no relationship with anyone in your house, including you.

Has she an elder brother? How does she treat him? If she despises him, she will despise you.

How does she treat the woman of the home where she lives? Does she oppose her authority? Then she will oppose and fight your mother when your mother comes to visit you and your co-workers will be in trouble.

Does he provide for his mother? Is he interested in her? You will soon be the next mother. Find out if the boy works at home; if he seeks to serve his mother. If he does not, you will soon find that you have married a demon. You may even have to put food in his mouth
