THREE FAITHFUL MARRIAGE PARTNERS Marriage is like a pot on fire held by three supporting stones or rather pillars. Each of the three pillars play a very vital part in marriage,and without one of them, there is no marriage at all. The following are the three partners that that should be faithful to each other for the survival of marriage. 1. HUSBAND: He is one of the pillars in marriage. He is to have strong shoulders to carry the entire family affairs and responsibilitie s. Many marriages tend to weaken because most men ignore their duties. Anyway, with reference to the bible,the mans role in marriage is to LOVE the wife just as Christ loves the church. The man is to love his ONE wife unconditionally. What weakens our marriages is that we tend to distribute the love to other women,leaving a little share for our wives. Take it this way,you have five kids and you got two oranges,then you decide to give one child one full orange and the remaining one shared among the four. You know which one of them will fully enjoy. Men,you cant have three or four women and claim to love them simultaneously. Thats a lie. A BIG lie. When you discover you have began loving another woman,know that you have began burrying your marriage. 2. WIFE: She is the second partner in marriage. While a man is the head,the woman is the neck of marriage. She should have wisdom to tilt the head to right directions. She,also being a helper,should assist the man to carry the family burden. Biblically,the woman should be submissive to her husband. She should submit her ideas,visions and goals to hard husband. Marriage is not a battle field where each one is trying to out-do the other one. That is not a marriage. They are two men staying together. When a wife begins to compete her husband,then she is digging her marriage grave. In short, the man is to love the wife and she is to be submissive to him. Here is where the problem comes in... who should be the first? A man would say that I cant love a woman who is not submissive. She must be submissive first. The woman will say that she cant be submissive to a man who is not loving. This will lead to disagreement and eventually break up. It is simple,ladies,even if he is not loving, just be submissive to him. That act of submissiveness will draw him to love you. And bro,just love her even if she doesnt have any quality of submission. When you love her continuously, she will start being submissive automatically. 3. GOD: He is the strongest pillar of your marriage. He is the driving force. Marriage without God is not a marriage at all. For those who are still dating,I know you have set apart time for party, outings,dates,etc. But come on! Have you ever set a day a side,to go and hide somewhere with your bibles, study the word together and pray together? How often do you pray for your relationship? If you have ignored God in your relationship, you are trading on dangerous grounds. For the married,how often do you pray together? There is a saying that goes like this a family that prays together, stays together ..... It is very true. For your marriage to stand strong, have some time daily,even if its 20mins. Read the word of God together, hold your hands and pray together. Giving God a part to play,is very essential. Involve him when things are good and when things are bad,he will get involved without your invitation. God bless you all.
