Genesis 2:24 (NKJV) Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.
Marriage is a sacred bond between a man and a woman. It’s ordained by God to be a lifetime commitment to each other.
Sadly, today’s society has been quite successful at trying to tear marriage apart and destroy the sanctity of it. It has become just as common for people to get divorced as it has for people to stay together. Maybe even more common…
There are so many factors that play into a happy, successful marriage. It’s safe to say that it’s way too deep to cover in this email message.
Anyone reading this who has been through a divorce can attest to the devastation that takes place when a divorce happens. It’s a deep thing that nobody can fully explain. And that’s because it’s a spiritual bond that’s being torn apart when a couple separates permanently.
But let us just say that, regardless what people say, marriages today can still work and they can still last. It just takes work and it takes a 100% commitment from both, the husband and the wife. If either person gives less than 100%, the marriage is going to be fighting an uphill battle.
Yesterday, March 12, Pastor Ellie and I celebrated our 31st wedding anniversary. We thank God for our lasting relationship and the fact that we can be a living testimony, showing the world that marriages can still work!
Has it always been easy? Heck, no! Our relationship has always been strong, but as a couple we have faced some tremendous battles in our lives. Whether it has been financial battles or anything else, God has brought us through them all with victory. And we give Him all the glory and honor.
So take heart, children of God! There is still hope for a strong and successful marriage, even in these dark times that we’re living in.
Trust God and put Him first in everything, and He will lead you every step of the way.
