Marriage Is Good

Marriage is a union. It is the coming together of two people of opposite sex, with a view to building a God Centered home of one man and a woman. It involves a higher level of relationship with each other, than with any other person on earth. It is a union of spirit, soul and body (Genesis 2:4)

When a man and a woman come together as husband and wife, they are expected to have entered a better way of living. Ecclesiastes 4:9 says: “Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.”

The woman becomes the responsibility of man. She is catered for, cherished and nourished by him. The husband brings in the material things, while she puts them together, making their home a place of glory. Both of them put in their time, strength, and money to ensure that their home is built.

When a home is not founded upon God, the joy, excitement and satisfaction the couple had at the outset is short-lived. It is soon wears off. It’s like owning a car. With time, new models come out and what was once new begins to age. The car owner desires to change the once new car for the latest sensation. Why? This is because the old one does not excite him anymore.

However, when God is at the center of marriage, you find that instead of getting tired of each other, your excitement and satisfaction increase as the years go by, making the relationship go from good to better and from better to best.

Marriage is good! Don’t think that marriage is for shame and reproach. You don’t have to settle for an average home, you don’t have to put up with continuous quarrelling and fighting; you can make marriage work! You can have a marriage free of hurts and wounds; you can enjoy fulfillment and God’s goodness. That is the realm of marriage God wants you to enter into. He wants to bring you to a point where men and even devils are compelled to acknowledge God’s glory that is all over your family. That is your heritage as a child of God!
