Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself up for it; that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of the water with the word. Ephesians 5:25
Today marks the 6th wedding anniversary of my son and daughter in law. Of course I am one proud mom as I dearly love both of them and so thankful God brought them together!
Marriage is never to be entered into lightly and there will always be adjustments when two people come together in Holy Matrimony. Each marriage partner has responsibilities to do their part or the marriage may end up fractured. Learn to forgive even if you don’t feel you did something wrong. Think of ways to build up your spouse and show kindness to them. Go on dates. Don’t try to get the last word. Let God be part of your marriage not just on Sunday.
Maybe you are reading this and your marriage failed or maybe several marriages failed. God still loves you and He does forgive. It takes two you know. Do your part now to keep those vows you took for better or for worse, for rich or for poor, in sickness and health, till death do you part. If Jesus is not on the throne put Him there maybe start by praying together. Let your spouse know every day they are special and you love them.
PRAYER: Thank you for marriage Lord the Holy Union Of man and woman you created. Thank you for the blessings of finding that special person to share life with. Help those unmarried never feel second class but know God can use them as well. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
NOTE: If my younger readers can bear with me I have included a classic wedding song from the 70’s by the folk singers Peter, Paul, and Mary. Click on link and listen in.
