THE SAD YET UNFORTUNATE TRUTH IS:
MANY are getting married yet its for the wrong reason. How one looks, what they have, & even lust are a few of the main factors that lead to & govern most marriages in our society. Although looks & possessions are not bad things in & of themselves; Yet, IF they are ALL a person chooses to see, then that will become a disaster before long. π
QUESTION:
"How can one consider marriage without considering HE who created it?" (God). π€
1. HE ordained it! (Gen. 2:21-25)
2. HE set the prerequisites for it!!
a. Marriage is the life long joining of a
man & woman together until death
parts them! (Rom. 7:2)
b. Marriage is honorable! (Heb. 13:4)
3. HE determines who can be joined!!
a. God will only join what He ordained!
That is, an eligible man with an
eligible woman! (Matt. 19:4)
4. HE set the rules of it & roles in it!!!!
a. Marriage is for life & nothing should
separate it! (Matt. 19:5-6) (except)
1. Due to certain problems, (abuse,
drugs, etc) , they can separate for a
time for prayer, counseling, fasting,
etc. BUT the goal is to reconcile!
(Not see other people, etc.)
(1 Cor. 7:5, 10-11)
2. Due to fornication! This is the only
exception given of which divorce
can be done! (Matt. 19:9)
3. Death of spouse! (Rom. 7:2)
5. HE is the foundation of marriage!!!
a. God can be trusted! (Prov. 3:5-6)
b. God helps us! (Psa. 46:1)
c. His Word He gave! (Psa. 68:11)
d. His Word is our light! (Psa. 119:105)
With just those few facts, why would a person seek to marry WITHOUT seeking to know God, His standards for marriage, The roles & responsibilities that He determined to be in such? π€·πΏββοΈ Its both careless & foolish for people to do YET they do it all the time. π€¦πΏββοΈ
OUR UNFORTUNATE REALITY:
When we refuse the above information & seek to marry based on their own thoughts, feelings, lust, desires, rules, ways of the world, etc.; We end up destroying our own HOMES! π
1. Divided families π
2. High Divorce rate π
3. Troubled Children π±
WHY?? Because people dont consider the statement in the imagery below. (See pic)
1. In our world of fakes & phonies, BE
CAREFUL who you choose to marry!
a. Everyone doesn't believe in God!
b. Everyone is not responsible!!
c. Everyone is not mature!!!
d. Everyone doesn't love themselves!!!!
e. Many are seeking someone to life off
of, use, manipulate, or deceive for
their own personal gain or benefit!!!!!!
(BE VERY CAREFUL, THOUGHTFUL,
PRAYERFUL, OBSERVANT, & WISE)
