What marriage is and what marriage is not.
Many a times we ignore the true directions of God when entering into marriage.
We enter into marriage either with our own understanding and principles, or the examples of our parents and family members, or the examples of friends and worse of it all, the examples of what the media is showing and telling us.
But in getting into the marriage, you need the understanding from the creator's own mouth. His principles, wisdom, knowledge and guidance on the fact that, marriage is a ministry that requires the daily hard work of both the man and the woman.
Marriage has a manual which is the bible for our guidance till death do us part.
Marriage represents the perfect and the ultimate love and sacrifices of Jesus to the Church as our example to follow.
Marriage follows the principles of leaving and cleaving, it is a service from each other to each other, and it requires our total obedience and submission to God's instructions.
Marriage, is earthly lasting institution with no divorce, and it requires the man to love and the woman to submit.
Marriage expects the man to be the visionary with God's spiritual purpose for the growth and the development of the family, and the woman to support the vision.
This and many more are God's thoughts about marriage.
So the next time you decide to enter into this holy institution called marriage, know that only God's thoughts counts b4 you marry. God bless.
