Marriage is the only institution you gets certificate on admission, the only institution where your course outlines and exams dates are not communicated, you write your test and exams alone and no graduation date until death. Marriage is not a burden from God, it is for companionship and procreation, it extends beyond these, it is for divine acceleration and peace, but unfortunately the devil has changed the story for many.
“The LORD God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.” Genesis 2:18 and Matthew 19:5″And he said, “‘This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one.’
Communication is the major set back in today’s marriages, many couples don’t communicate love to their partners, many harbour bitterness and resentment for years , many do not know “HOW” to communicate their pains and the peace they are enjoying. “At last!” the man exclaimed. “This one is bone from my bone, and flesh from my flesh! She will be called ‘woman,’ because she was taken from ‘man.’” Genesis 2:23
Adam saw Eve and appreciated the fact God created her from him, Be intentional about everything in your marriage, successful marriage demands commitment and hard work. God ordained marriage, it is part of His plans , your marriage will not fail in Jesus name.
💢INGREDIENTS FOR A SUCCESSFUL MARRIAGE 💢
👉1.Put God first “Do two walk together unless they have agreed to do so?” Amos 3:3 God should be the head of every Christian home, you need to acknowledge His presence by giving His word priority in that marriage, if you allow God, it will be easy to crucify the flesh, the natural man is selfish and self-seeking but God can help couples to live in peace John 14:27 “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid” Pray daily in that home, have a fellowship time in that home where you both share the word of God together as a family, where you sing praises and hymms to God, the presence of God brings peace and joy.This responsibility should not be left for women alone, men should also take spiritual responsibility at home.
👉2.Allow love to lead. Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.1Peter 4:8″Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins” Love will not make you to keep records of wrong done, love will prevail against some circumstances that may affect your relationship as husband and wife.This Love doesn’t fade, it lasts forever.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not
envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.
👉3.Play your part well, don’t blame your partner for not meeting up to your expectations, you should know you are both not perfect, you can’t compare your friends marriages with yours, you can’t even compare your parents own with yours, God has specific instructions for marriages .Ephesians 5:23 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior.
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.The word of God is valid forever.
Marriage is beautiful if God is at the centre, the journey to marital bliss starts with you giving your life to Jesus Christ, repent from your sins and forsake them.”Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.”John 3:3
Ask God for forgiveness and repent from your sins.
