FOUNDATIONAL TRUTH OF MARRIAGE. (TRUTH THAT ARE FOUNDATIONAL TO MARRIAGE).

  1. God is the originator, initiator and founder of marriage. Genesis 2:18.
  2. Marriage was instituted so that the parties involved can received help, assistant and so call of the marriage partner’s.
  3. God caused the deep sleep to come on the man so that he God can be allowed to prepare was is best for the main without interference. Genesis 2:21.
  4. The woman was created from the rips taking from the chest of the man because he was created to be loved. The rip that was closed to the heart of the man. The rip is one of the structure that cover the lung and the heart, because he was created to be loved, to be care for, not created to be harassed, shouted upon or slap. Genesis 2:22.
  5. The devil is agitated about God’s plan and purpose for marriage, so he moves to antagonist the stability of the home. Genesis 2:24-25. Genesis 3:1. The moment marriage happen the devil (serpent appears) the moment marriage happen devil appears. The devil does not want the marriage to work.
  6. Marriage was instituted for security and safety of the parties involved. (Jeremiah 31:22).
  7. The relationship between the man and his wife is like the relationship of bones and flesh with each other. (Genesis 2:23). That is why marital disagreement causes a lot of pains because you can’t tear flesh from flesh nor bone without pains.
  8. For marriage to be success there must be a living before cleaving (Genesis 2:24). Any man or woman who allows family people to have so much influence in their home they don’t have a marital future. The only exception is that if your spouse abuses you that is when you can relate that to your family member.
  9. Mutual Openness is key to marital success but when a man or woman open him or herself to you and you use it against him or her, it’s because in trustable for both party.
  10. The enemy target marital harmony and dignity between married couples. Anything that makes people happy the devil is angry with it. When God created man the devil did not move, when God created animal the devil did not move, but when God created woman and gave him a woman the serpent move. (Genesis 2:23). (Genesis 3:11-12). The devil is a saddest, he always want you to be safe and that makes him happy. The devil fights beauty, dignity, harmony, decency.

PURPOSE OF GOD FOR THE HOME

  1. The release or the supply of companionship or company. Your wife is supposed to be your house maid, your wife or husband is supposed to be your companionship. If not the major purpose of the marriage is not fulfilled.
  2. It is for the achievement of fulfillment and satisfaction in life and in Destiny. (Ecclesiastes 2:9). Any marriage that the woman or man is not happy in the marriage it is the marriage without fulfillment.
  3. It is for the release and the multiplication of potentials. Where you bring out the best in the other person. (Ecclesiastes 4:9). Any husband who is shocking the grace and ability of his wife or husband is mismanagement.
  4. The release of the Godly seed in the earth, for the population of the earth with kingdom seed. (Malachi 2:14-15). He wants you to produce children that transmit God and good principle to the next generation.
  5. Trust God for a partner who truly loves and fears God authentically. Because every authentic child of God, must be a good wife or woman (2 Cor 6:16). The way a person dress cannot confirm to you truly if he or she loves God, you need the mercy of God to get a good spouse for yourself.
  6. Decide to marry someone you can listen to and submit to; someone you respect enough to value their counsel. (Ephesians 5:21). Anybody you don’t willing to counsel enough why do you want to marry the person then. (Ephesians 2:21-25).

  2. God is the originator of marriage; if the marriage must have a future then God must ordinate it.
  3. God knows the future more than you know the present.
  4. God knows the content of every human being beyond their container. Inside some good looking people are dangerous lions. Many people just look at the surface, look at the container and choose wrongly.
  5. Marry someone who truly loves and values you as a person. (Genesis 24:67) look at the story of Isaac and Rebecca. Don’t manage this. If he doesn’t value you today, it won’t improve tomorrow. If he or she doesn’t value you, it can only depreciate.
  6. Never marry anyone who is marrying your money, property or your influence or position. And this area only God can make you to know this. Marry someone who loves you for you.
