In our current society marriage gets a bad reputation in the eyes of many. And to tell you the truth, marriage can look very scary depending on where you look. Divorces are rampant in the church and in the world and for many people marriages seems to be more of a curse than a blessing. For many people marriage is a hellish experience and they wouldn't wish it on their worse enemy.
Marriage can make and break you depending on who you choose for a spouse.
Marriage is a serious thing and it requires deep thoughts before you get into it, much thoughts and even more prayer. The worse mistake you can make is to be blinded by emotion and get into a marriage, reality can soon make you regret it. But beside the scary aspect of a bad marriage, it can be a beautiful experience if we understand its true purpose. A successful marriage, based on Divine principles also has its challenges, but can be very beautiful and I think in our current society, marriage is needed more than ever .
Our society is a very selfish and individualistic one. A society in which you can be surrounded by people, but feel all alone because everyone is too busy chasing their own dreams and have no time for the next person. Marriage is a cure for such ills.
A rightful marriage is one in which each partner understands their tasks. And what each partner's task in a marriage ? It is to be a companion to each other. Everyone can be too busy for you, but your spouse shouldn't be too busy for you . Marriage gives a companion for life .
A lifetime companion 🤵🏾👰🏽. In a marriage based on Divine principles, I understand my spouse is my companion. When a person is single( nothing wrong with being single ), you have to handle things on your own for the most part, but in marriage life's tasks are separated. A single man may have to cook his own food, iron his own clothes, do his own laundry etc..A married man who has a good wife can come home expecting food to be on the table, knowing that his clothes will be iron and has no worries about his laundry.
A single and independent woman may have to handle her own car issues, pay her own rent, cut her own grass ,manage her own finances and face the different challenges of life all alone. But a married woman many not even know how the car get fixed, all she has to say "honey, I think something is wrong with the car." A married woman with a good husband may not know when the rent get paid, how the grass get cut and knkw she always has a shoulder to lean on in times of life's difficulties.
In this difficult and selfish world of ours, a good marriage is a source of strength, comfort and support. Marriage is knowing I have someone who is here for me and I am there for them. Marriage is knowing I can depend on my spouse and she can depend on me. I can pull her up when she is weak and she can comfort me in hard times. Marriage is having someone to go with you through the different trials of life. Someone who is there with you when you are sick, feeling down etc..Marriage is about having a solid partner helping each other on the way to heaven.
True love begins ❤, a loving marriage starts to develop when we begin to understand that marriage is not about sex , marriage is not about having someone that will cater to me ,make me their world, treat me like some princess fantasy or some prince. True love begins when we understand that marriage is all about companionship, yes sex is involved, yes the person may treat you like a prince or a princess, but companionship is more than these. Companionship is having some you can talk to, share your minds with, travel together, experience the world together, help each other, do things together.
Companionship is what marriage is all about, companionship is what life is all about, what we all look for. Many times when I preach, my wife is not on the pulpit and yet she is involved in the sermon because most of the times she makes my PowerPoints, companionship.
So friends, marriage is not bad, it has its challenges, yes, but marriage is good thing, a beautiful thing, much needed in our society. And we will begin to enjoy the beauty of marriage when we begin to understand to be married is to have a companion to go through life's journey with in the good days and bad days. Marriage is beautiful, marriage is about love, marriage is about God and with God in your marriage you will enjoy it's blessings.
