THE ROOT OF COVENANT MARRIAGES
Marriage remains the most ancient institution known to man established by God Himself. From Genesis chapter 2 we read that God had created Adam and placed him in the Garden of Eden to take care of it.God then realized that it was not good for the man to be alone. He designed a beautiful creation called woman and brought her to the man. The first marriage covenant was formed between Adam and Eve with God as the witness.
Consequently, many other covenants have been entered into, following the example of the first family. Now regarding these unions, God’s intention is clearly revealed in the verse below:
Gen 2:24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave to his wife and they shall be one flesh. (MKJV)
The traditional marriage, as taught in God’s word, is between a man and a woman and is intended to be a lifelong fruitful relationship.
The Lord Jesus again underscored the importance and permanence of marriagein these words:
Mt 19:5 and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’?6 So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man put asunder.
We must endeavor as Christians to live in total obedience to the Lord and do all in our power to build strong and permanent marriages.
Why covenant marriages?
YOU CAN GET HELP
All marriages are a product of love. When a man and a woman fall in love, the best place to express that love and enjoy its benefits to the full is in marriage. Actually as love between the couple grows, it becomes increasingly hard for them to continue living apart hence marriage.The statement below is true in reference to marriage as God intended it to be.
The marriage institution remains the most wonderful, intimate, and fulfilling relationship known to man.
Through personal experience and observation I have realized that in marriage no one is an expert. We all seem to start off in “kindergarten” irrespective of our position in society, economic status, educational achievements or religion. It’s not a surprise therefore that the Bible talks about Adam “knowing his wife eve” after they got married. You may have been dating for some time, but knowing the person will only happen after the wedding and not before.Knowing your spouse also includes getting to understand the strengths and weaknesses of your partner, their likes and dislikes, their true character and personality, some of which may not be visible during the period of courtship. This knowledge then requires us to make adjustments in terms of our expectations in the face of raw reality and this may present difficulties to some.
The good news is that help is available for all who seek for it. You would soon realize that the challenges you are facing as a couple are not entirely new and neither are they unique to you only. Many have walked the path of marriage ahead of you and learned how to deal with the common or similar challenges. Therefore you should stop declaring and decreeing death to your marriage as a first resort.
The amazing reality about us humans is thein-built capacity toembrace change or transform. With proper guidance and counsel we see husbands and wives being transformed into dream spouses simply because both partners have ‘seen the light” and chosen the path to freedom and happiness which is available to all. Obviouslyit’s not an easy road, neither is it a “winner gets it all” but a path of humility, self-discovery and sacrificing for the greater good of the one you love above all others. I encourage you, irrespective of your experience or crisis, to choose this path. We are here to help and support you on this journey. God bless you as you take the first step.
