Why remain devoted and loyal to one person in marriage when there are so many other fish in the sea? Marriage goes much deeper than two people getting together for the shallow pursuits of personal pleasure. Rather, it can be the eventual bonding of two souls. To achieve this, both parties must put selfish pursuits behind them and dive deeper for something better. Sadly, most married people stay on the superficial surface and never get to the true depths of what marriage should be all about. Why restrict ourselves solely to one God when there are so many other gods to pursue in this world (such as popularity, power, money, success)? Just like marriage, Christianity is the bonding of Creator and creation. To work, both parties must remain loyal and devoted to each other - if one is unfaithful, the marriage will break down. On God’s part, He remains faithful - He never forsakes us, lies to us, or cheats on us. But what are we doing to make this spiritual marriage work? Are we simply swimming on the surface with our relationship with God? If we are reluctant to give up selfish pursuits, our relationship with our Creator will always be shallow. To bond successfully with God, we must stop flirting with the other ‘gods of this world’ hoping for a better deal. Only when we stay faithful to God can He take us to a treasure far greater than anything this world can provide.
