Marriage is the union between a man and a woman. It is also the coming together of a man and a woman to become husband and wife. Your marriage should reflect and represent the relationship between Christ and the church. Christian marriage should be heaven on earth. It can only be heaven on earth when Christ is allowed to pilots the affairs of the marriage. Below are some major points to experiencing a blissful marriage.
1. Love(Ephesians5:25,28; John 13:1): As a couple, you must love each other. When you sincerely love each other, it will be very easy to forgive and live in peace and harmony.
2. leave(Ephesians5:31; Psalms 45:10-11): Before your marriage, there was a strong relationship between you and your parents. But after marriage, you must leave your parents so that you can properly bond with your partner.
3. Cleave(Ephesians5:31; Genesis2:24-25): After a wedding, you must stick to your spouse, irrespective of whatever happens. This means that when it is good and when it is bad, the couples are not expected to separate.
4. Nourish(Ephesians5:29;1Timothy4:6): As a couple, you must nourish each other physically, psychologically, emotionally and socially. You should speak words of encouragement and upliftment to each other. This plays a vital role in matrimonial homes.
5. Cherish(Ephesians5:29;1Thessalonians2:7-8): Couples must cherish each other just as Christ cherishes the church. Show that you cherish each other in your behaviour, attitude, approach and thought. Let your partners know that they are precious to you. Treasure each other.
6. Submit(Ephesians5:21-22): As a couple, submit to each other no matter who is right or wrong. This doesn’t signify weakness but shows your commitment to love each other and make your marriage work.
7. Reverence(Ephesians5:33): You must honour and respect each other as a couple. Speak respectfully to your spouse, especially in the presence of your children.
In summary, your marriage can be heaven on earth if you allow God to run it for you.
