Think on these things

I believe that for a marriage to grow and prosper, it as to be submitted to the only one person who can take two hearts and mold them into one. Gen.2v24 ….”become one flesh”
When two hearts has become one, any form of separation or divorce can cause severe damage. A bleeding heart or a broken heart can  really destroy a person’s life.
 

The act of marriage is the highest form of communication of love for one another and the ultimate expression of intimacy. The ultimate expression of God’s love towards us is in a marriage covenant. We became his bride and therefore have access to all that he  has and all that we have now belongs to him.
In the act of marriage, we belong to our partner and our partner belongs to us. 1 Cor. 7

If love is the corner stone of a marriage, shouldn’t love be enough to keep and sustain the marriage (food for thought)
Well, many people say that love is not enough. Everyday married couples take counsel from famous psychologist who told them love is not enough, they need something else. Let’s think, maybe they need TRUST, COMMITMENT, PATIENCE, KINDNESS, LONG SUFFERING, MOTIVATION, HARD WORK or maybe some HONESTY. I believe that all these things are as a result of love.
The pangs of this vicious lie echoes through the ages crippling and killing weak and fragile hearts. As a result of this we are now reaping the fruits of broken homes, broken dreams and broken lives.
I believe that a lot of people are not willing to give of themselves unless they can get something in return.
According to St John 3v16 God gave because he loved. Love is not about receiving. Yes, unfortunately many of us are in it just for the “money”  but excuse me please, it’s all about giving of ourselves and our resources to someone else.
I believe that if love was not enough then Jesus would not have died on the cross. He would have given up back in Gethsemane. Why go through the pain and agony if love is not enough. God forbid that love is not enough.
May I dare to say that the fundamental thing in the marriage is not the big house or the fancy car but love.
True love make us want to satisfy other hearts, work extra hard not just for ourselves but for our partner as well.
When there is genuine love, one experience s everlasting joy and not just temporary happiness, that’s why it is very important to let God molds us with life partners and not bed mates.
Have you heard of the kind of love that is here today and gone tomorrow? Well, many couples who were madly in love yesterday can’t even stand to be in the same room today or even breathe the same air as their partners
I believe that something is definitely wrong with that kind of love. Love is not supposed to change. The bible says that God is love and he never changes but remains the same.
What happened to “ for better or for worse, in sickness or in health, till death do us part” Well, lets just say that some couple live up to the last part and kill each other – till death do us part.
I think that one of the most awesome beauty in a marriage is to see partners grow old together, eventually looking like each other and walking to the park hand in hand at age 75.
A marriage built on love is not problem free, but because of the strength of the foundation, couples are able to use difficult situations as building blocks for success. It’s not easy, but when Christ is in the vessel we can smile at the storms.
Love can break any addiction that sneaks itself into a marriage, whether it is adultery or drugs. Love can keep us true and honest to our partners. Love can give motivation so we can get off our butt and seek help.
Sometimes we are very quick to blame our partners for messing up the marriage. But, excuse me please, didn’t you see it coming? Messing up a marriage don’t just happened overnight. It’s progressive. Don’t you think that both partners are equally responsible?
If you really and truly love, then you fight with all you’ve got and never give up. Don’t ever give up to the enemy of love. Don’t let the enemy steal our love.
Love is a good fight and if we believe that what we have is worth fighting for, then lets roll up our sleeves and throw the first punch. Excuse me please, not at your partners. They are not the problem, sin is. Satan is the problem. He is the one breathing the deceptive spirit of divorce and separation. He is the father of all lies.
Right now, can we look love in the eyes and see it’s beauty and feel it’s warmth. Let’s allow the zeal of love to eat us up. Let’s go up to the high places and tear the devil’s kingdom down and reclaim our marriages.
Phil.4v13 “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” and so can you.
Love is indeed enough and it’s worth fighting for.
