Many
marriages are not what God ordained it to be. Marriage is to give peace
and joy to the couple and glory to God. However in recent times, the
rate of marriage failure has greatly increased. But there is solution to
this marriage crisis and that is a walk with God!
Yet
you say, “For what reason?” Because the Lord has been witness between
you and the wife of your youth, with whom you have dealt treacherously;
yet she is your companion and your wife by covenant – Malachi 2:14
(NKJV)
God
initiated marriage in the first place with Adam and Eve and is a
witness between you and your spouse. He laid down rules and regulations
on how to have joy and peace in your marriage – Ephesians 5:21-31. These
rules are the pillars for success in marriage.
Therefore
to successfully deal with issues in your marriage, you need to purely
adhere to God’s principles. And you can only appreciate these principles
when you retrace your steps back to God. Your walk with God will reveal
to you the areas of your marriage you need to address and God will give
you the wisdom on how to address them.
Many
times people tend to blame their spouses for the problems they are
facing but they never consider that they may be the main cause of the
problem. When you walk with God, He will always point out to you where
you are going wrong and what to do to correct it. He speaks to us
through our conscience and His word (the bible)
Some
of the issues that cause problems in homes include lack of attention,
communication breakdown, financial problems, pride etc. These are
largely wisdom problems and can be dealt with when you apply the wisdom
from God’s word. God’s wisdom is higher than man’s wisdom. Man’s wisdom
is selfish but God’s wisdom is full of love. Read more...
