I ♥ THE BLESSING OF MARRIAGE♥ KEY WORD OF THE NIGHT= Commitment!! Traditional marriage vows include the phrase, “Till death do us part.” Unfortunately, these words have become something of a ceremonial cliché rather than a STATEMENT of DEEP COMMITMENT to GOD" and" ANOTHER human being. Travel through our country’s small towns, and you’ll likely come across an array of HONORABLE FOLKS who still SEAL THEIR AGREEMENTS with a HANDSHAKE and WHO CONSIDER THEIR WORD an UNBREAKABLE bond. In the business world, contracts are much more formal, of course, crafted with highly detailed legal jargon that reads like a foreign language. Whatever form these commitments take, THE PURPOSE HAS ALWAYS BEEN the SAME – to offer protection, not when everything is running smoothly, but when things fall apart. COMMITMENT is perhaps no more important than when it comes to marriage. It provides STRENGTH and STABILITY when a relationship encounters challenges. Unfortunately, many couples take an opposite approach when things turn sour – they run, rather than DIGGING in THEIR HEELS when COMMITMENT REQUIRES it THE MOST. Commitment is foundational to surviving conflict. It ENABLES us to FOCUS on HONORING GOD and SERVES as the FUEL for us to WORK THROUGH our struggles with PERSISTENCE and DETERMINATION. The next time you find yourself in a heated disagreement with your spouse, COMMIT TO DRAWING CLOSER TOGETHER instead of running away. Matthew 19:6 NKJV So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.”
