Marriage principles that guarantees happy, healthy, satisfying and long-lasting union (Part 3)
Marriage is not about meeting your spouse halfway 50/ 50. In
a happy & healthy marriage each spouse gives 100% total commitment unconditionally
& independent of what the other spouse does. The Bible doesn't say, “a man should
love his wife only if she will submit.” Or, “a woman should submit to her
husband only if he loves her.” The Bible just says it is the husband's responsibility
to love his wife (Ephesians 5:25) & it is the wife's’ responsibility to
submit (Ephesians 5:22). If the husband will commit to love his wife as Christ loved
the church then he makes it much easier for the wife to submit. If the wife
will submit, then she makes it much easier for her husband to love her. But
God's command for husband to love & for wife to submit in the Lord, is
unconditional & independent of what the other spouse does all!"
Proverbs 31:29.
Most marriage problems are caused by spouses who continue to
think, act and behave like they're still single. You are married. Therefore do
the honorable; think married, act married and behave married. It is that simple.
Falling in love is effortless and it is easy. But staying in love and staying
loving is a decision, and a work that is often not so easy. Spouses that make
the decision and commitment to stay in love & loving through it all will
make it through all the rough times and come out stronger.
The greatest gift you can give
your children is the visible example of a loving couple and the unforgettable
experience of a happy home. Your children are watching you daily & with
terrible exactness they faithfully record everything they see and hear. What
your children hear and see at home every day is surely shaping the way they view
marriage. Your children are making lasting opinions on marriage and love based on
what they see and hear in your marriage.
Let your children grow up looking forward to getting
married. The best way to teach your children about godly marriages is to model one.
Monkey see monkey do. Let your marriage be what you want your children’s
marriage to be.
Avoid boredom in the bedroom. Don’t turn your bedroom into a
courtroom. Leave unfinished business, quarrels & fights out of the bedroom.
Let your bedroom be a place of bonding & intimacy with your spouse. Let
your bedroom be a place of peace, prayer & play. Let your bedroom be a
place of security & refuge for your spouse. Let your bedroom be a place to unwind
& relax with your spouse. It is in the bedroom on the sacred marriage bed
where the oneness of marriage is perfected. Make your bedroom exceptionally pleasant
& the most peaceful room in your house. Make the bedroom so enticing &
fascinating that the thought of coming home to the bedroom will cause your spouse
to leave everyone & everything to come home running to you.
Great marriages are not built overnight. Two unique people
who grew up in different places, under different circumstances & from
different parents cannot suddenly become one flesh. God said "the two
shall become one flesh." He didn't say "the two shall suddenly become
one flesh." Give God time to perfect the union. Give the Holy Spirit time
transform you & your spouse. The oneness of marriage is a work of a
lifetime. Thou shall not marry if you are still a boy or girl at heart!
Marriage is for men and women at heart, not by age but by maturity! There are
25 years old men and 50 years old boys! Any man that beats his wife is a boy no
matter his age. Any lady that connives with people to humiliate her husband is
not just à girl but a baby! À good woman builds her home but foolish ones tears
it down with their tongues and lack of respect. À wise man builds his home with
wisdom and maturity not with boyish behavior and lack of tolerance!
The question is, are you a boy or girl? Woman or Man?
The truth is that many women sent their husbands into
another woman’s arms with their razor blade tongues. Many men pushed their wives
to disrespect them because they did not know how to love and treat à woman.
May God intervene in your homes in Jesus Name!
