(Gen 2:24 NKJV) Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.
God has blessed us as humans, with a beautiful thing called marriage.
The bond shared between a husband and wife is intended to be sacred. It is ordained of God and meant to last a lifetime.
Unfortunately, we as humans have figured out ways to make a mess of it and drag marriages through the mud. We’ve seen this on the part of men and women.
Recently I have been asking God a lot of questions about why marriages fail and why people end up cheating on their spouses. He’s been giving me a lot of revelation as to why this goes on and it’s been eye-opening for me.
Just about every failed marriage is due to selfishness on the part of one or both of the people involved. At some point, we become selfish and start forgetting who we have been blessed with as a spouse, and we begin to look elsewhere for attention and satisfaction.
There is obviously much deeper stuff related to this, but this is the core of what happens.
Fortunately, God has provided us with every possible means of avoiding this trap. He can teach us how to make our marriages last a lifetime, even in these days of adultery, fornication and billions of failed marriages. We don’t have to fit the mold that this world has tried to force us into!!
Today, I am so happy to share my life with Pastor Ellie, the woman that God has blessed me with. We are celebrating 29 years of marriage today!
God has done this and He has shown us that a marriage doesn’t have to be doomed to destruction. It can be happy and strong, even in the face of adversity and hard times.
We give God all the glory for our relationship. He is the one that has taught us to make it work and make it happy!
We pray for each and every one of you who reads this, that you will be blessed with a strong, happy marriage. And for those of you who have been through a divorce, or are going through a divorce, that God will strengthen you and give you what you need to live victoriously, in spite of your circumstances.
If you’re still unmarried and seeking a spouse, wait on God to provide the one He has for you! Waiting isn’t easy, but when God provides for us, it’s worth the wait!
