Genesis 2:23-24 (NKJV) And Adam said: “This is now bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man.” 24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.
I absolutely LOVE this…they shall become ONE flesh.
This is how close God wants a husband and a wife to be. ONE flesh.
When we are one, a marriage will stand. This is how it will make it through those tough times and how it will get through those moments when everything is coming at us and hitting us from every direction.
God can and will hold a marriage together as we put Him first and become one flesh in Him.
There are some out there today who won’t even share some things with their spouse due to the fact they are afraid of what it might do to their marriage. They are afraid that it will destroy them and what they have between each other.
Let us just say this, that if there is dishonesty in a marriage, if there are hidden secrets in a marriage, it really isn’t much of a marriage.
A marriage needs to be built on honesty, and sometimes that honesty can hurt and it can cut. But it can also bring healing as things are dealt with openly, and not hidden deep within the heart.
Husbands and wives, please listen. A marriage is more than just words on a paper. When we stand at that altar and repeat after that minister, “for better or for worse” we are making a promise to God that we will stick together no matter what, through thick and thin. Through good times and bad times, we will stand as one flesh, helping each other through some very trying times. It takes 100% effort from both the husband and the wife.
Some of us today need to let go of the pain we are holding in our hearts toward our spouse and we need to forgive them. And some of us need to be forgiven ourselves for holding onto some things that we should have let go of a long time ago. For that, we need to ask for forgiveness.
Healing will come to our marriage, blessings will come to our marriage and a love that is stronger then ever will come to our marriage when we stand together, helping each other and putting God at the head of it all.
Become one today in your marriage. Amen.
