Marriage and Love Part 2

The word ‘love’ has been abused by those who know nothing about it and that is because they know nothing about God.

Love is not a western idea or philosophy. Love originated from God who also is the creator of marriage. This piece is a continuation of Marriage and Love.

When He made them (Adam and Eve); He joined them (cemented them together)  with a material called Love. That  was why He told the man to leave his fathers’ house and join or cleave to the woman in love .This is not a formula but a clear picture of God’s design for marriage. Continue...

Jesus is our perfect example of this kind of love. The bible (1 Corinthians 13:4-8) shows us what this love entails. Friends ,a blissful marriage life is possible if you apply the things mentioned in this write up. Obviously you have to know Him, the Love personified - Jesus, then the Holy-Spirit will help this love to flow in our hearts (Roman 5:5).

Are you married  but not enjoying your marriage? Then ask your self this sincere question - Is God the ‘joiner? Did you involve Him from the beginning? If your answer is no, then bring it to the feet of the 'Architect' Himself. I assure you He is able to go to your past  and correct  errors, thus giving you a new beginning. You just hand it over to Him. Stop playing the blame game.

Are you engaged to someone already planning to get married I congratulate you, because you still have the opportunity to correct your future with your spouse to be before you say I do. Is God the one bringing you together? If  you can not find God in it (this is characterised by lack of peace on the matter, lack of conviction), I advice you take sometime off that relationship and sort it out with God first.

If you are sure God is in the marriage then Love is possible; as He impacted His love into you when he was bringing you together. You have the capacity to love let it come out.

One thing you must understand is that we learn to love. Learning is bringing out what is already embedded in you. Practice 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 and you will see your life and marriage change for better.
