Marriage is one of the most likely areas that Christians will come under spiritual attack. Why? 1. The Enemy absolutely hates marriage. Marriage was God’s idea for the human race right from the very moment that he created Eve. In Genesis we are told that a man leaves his father and mother, is united with his wife and becomes one with her. Jesus re-affirmed this; saying that two became one and that man must not separate what God has joined together. (see Matthew 19:5-6) Marriage between a man and woman is a reflection of the covenant relationship between man and God. It is a powerful relationship, more powerful than the sum of the two individuals. Jesus said that if two or three people agreed in his name, then God would be there and prayers would be answered. When a married couple pray and agree on something together the prayers are powerful and things happen. Satan is jealous of this relationship. He was once in a relationship with God, but pride got the better of him and he fell from heaven. He is full of bitterness and resentment and he cannot bear to see people in right relationship with each other and with God. He will do everything he can to undermine marriage, particularly a Christian marriage. Jesus also told us that Satan comes only to steal, kill and destroy. As most people from a broken marriage will testify, divorce destroys lives. If he can break up your marriage he goes a long way towards stealing, killing and destroying large parts of your life, peace and happiness. As an added bonus it will also affect the lives of many other people in your lives, particularly children
