A man and a woman joined together in a marriage, taking vowels in the church. This is a manifestation of their unity, togetherness and affirmation before God witnessed by very close family members, friends and relatives.
It is the most exciting and at the same time, a lifelong commitment, to accept another person into your life and lead it jointly from that point on. Bible states: "A man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh". Genesis 2:24
This is plain and simple to understand and yet we are bombarded with the headlines of broken marriages. So what makes it so difficult to grasp such a simple concept that has been written in the book of God thousands years ago?
One may say it might be due to the fact that society progressed and in today's world people want to have a free will. If one is going to take this approach then it is worth exploring the consequences of this so called ‘free will'. As a result we see so many problems in our society, such as exhausted single parent families, irresponsible fathers and mothers, children in care and list goes on.
Ephesians 5 unveils marriage as a picture of the relationship God has with us. This is one reason why God has such an interest in keeping marriages intact. He is the One that established the concept of "until death do us part." He established this for our own good. Failed marriages and broken homes are devastating to the husband and wife, not to mention the children involved. Financial ruin is only one of the unhappy results of divorce. The family unit is the basic building block of any society, and widespread divorce has a tragic impact on all of the culture.
As a society we need to celebrate and help to mend marriages. If a couple is willing to take this lifelong commitment then perhaps attending a pre-marriage course to prepare for the journey ahead is the answer to a healthy marriage. It is important to remember that there are a lot of things to consider and the couple need the guidance and help from someone with wisdom and maturity who is competent and experienced to talk though all the stages of the married life.
In moments of challenging and difficult encounters it is vital to turn to the book of a real old good guidance in life, the Holly Bible, which tells us, let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Proverbs 3:3 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her. Ephesians 5:25
Becoming a mum is the most wonderful feeling in the world and we have a duty to teach our children to be compassionate, loving, helpful to name but a few. The Bible tells us to train the young women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be reviled. Titus 2:4-5
