Marriage Is Incredible

Marriage is an exceptionally incredible institution. When my daughter was seven years old, she could tell me about her boyfriend - Joseph - who happened to be her classmate. She believes Joseph will be her husband despite the fact that he is not clear in his mind about her seriousness of their friendship. That is how incredible marriage is. Both the under aged and the aged, the rich and the poor, the weak and the strong are all giving marriage a very serious thought. The astonishing high rate of divorce is not, will not and should not be a hindrance to any individual from considering and indeed jumping into it, of course at the appropriate time.

Marriage is such an awesome idea that not many consider the many and great responsibilities associated with it before getting into it. Many married couples can not remember when they sat down to plan on how to tackle the challenges they face in their marriages today but the amazing fact is that they are able to maneuver through them all. This means that in a marriage of serious, positive and committed couple, there exists some divine power which when activated, releases sufficient energy, grace and wisdom to face and manage any sort of a crisis or conflict arising.

This being the case, then there is no cause of fear of getting into marriage. Friends, just be sincere. Whether you are single, married, separated, divorced or even windowed, there exists a desire in every sound human being to be in a long lasting and fulfilling companionship. To some, this longing is on the surface and to others, it is hidden deep. To some, it is a top priority while to others; it is just an issue to consider. Whichever way, marriage is wonderful. Go for it, stay in it – whatever applies to you.

You Want A Divorce?


You want a divorce? Think again. In almost all troubled marriages, each spouse thinks that the other is the cause of the trouble. Very few husbands can look inward to find out if he has had any contribution towards the trouble. And the few that do a self search always find a fault in them which if acknowledged always leads to a very positive path towards restoration.

This also applies to the wives. Most of them always see the wrongs the husbands have committed and the good they have not done. This attitude, if not checked, leads to a fatal crash of any marriage. Each spouse should always make every effort towards the well being of the marriage. When things do not seem to be working well in your marriage, the best question to ask yourself is; “what have I failed to do?” or “what role have I played towards the situation” with this kind of an attitude, every marriage will survive any kind storm.

Divorce is never a good option but when a husband and his wife engage in a game of blaming each other, then the enemies of marriage score. I mean as much as you search yourself, there are troubles that are caused by some ‘external forces’. When this is the case, know it is time to stand together and save your marriage. How do stand together? Pray, keep talking to each other; silence is not an option is such circumstances, seek godly counsel for it is God who instituted marriage. Happy marriages are built – not bought. Take responsibility and build yourself. If you run away, you will keep running the rest of your life. Your wife is the BEST. Your husband is the BEST.
