MARRIAGE RELATIONSHIP – how to build on your love

With every marriage relationship leading to a wedding, there is also a divorce option; a far cry from the teachings of divorce found in the Bible. Divorce is just a convenience; in fact, within churches today, there is an attitude in which believers rationalize divorce by saying they married the wrong person and aren't in God's will.

Some people marry to get out the house, some because of pregnancy, some for money, some for security ..... reasons that don't justify the act. God does not make mistakes. When a believer says that they married the wrong person, it is limiting God, who can turn a troubled marriage relationship into a happy one.

Marriage was instituted by God when He declared, "It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him" (Gen. 2:18). For this reason God fashioned a woman and brought her to Adam. God's desire is for a man to be the husband of one wife... indefinitely.

Couples are far better prepared to cope with stressful events and conflict in a marriage relationship when they know each other well – resulting in a more profound and rewarding relationship. It takes courage and resilience to maintain a marriage relationship, but once you understand what God expects from you, saving or safeguarding your own one will become simpler. Even a marriage that is about to hit rock bottom can be revived with the right kind of help.

A marriage relationship should be biblically based, as God intended; however, as people became more compromising, the marriage is no longer a sacred joining, but a moral obligation for reasons that aren't good to get married.
