Marriage the legally or formally recognized union of two people as partners in a personal relationship (historically and in some jurisdictions specifically a union between a man and a woman). Marriage comes from God. And His union of Adam and Eve illustrates God’s ideal for marriage, one man and one woman joined together in a life-long commitment to each other, working together to form strong, godly families. Obviously, human beings haven’t always followed that ideal, but God’s way is still the best way. Spending time with God and your spouse is a blessing. Pastor always tells us that we are not to be in the same room with another man alone or a woman is not to be alone with a man in the same room in the church. This is only proper edict. He is correct. Because marriage is unity.
The first human relationship God created was marriage (Read Genesis 1 and 2). To create nations that would steward His creation, God made men, male and female and brought them together in marriage and said: “For this reason, a man shall leave his father and his mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh,” Genesis 2:24.
God did this, not man. And since all gifts are given to build up God’s body and his kingdom (Let’s read; 1 Corinthians 12:7–12; (NIV) Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues. All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines. Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts from one body, so it is with Christ.), a godly marriage is a powerful weapon for the kingdom of God. They build the kingdom through raising godly seed, corporate prayer, service to God’s church, and evangelism of the world. So, God is our rock and builds unity among His people. It is people who cause chaos when it should not have started at all. God always brings His word into the sinner’s life. Praise God for His word. seems to work all for His good and not what someone else wants to happen. God has the last Word. He expects us to hate sin and pray for the sinner. One of the most important keys that will make it possible for us to walk in kingdom living is our expression of praise. The Lord’s prayer begins in an attitude of worship and praise, “Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom comes. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth” (Luke 11:2). {Praise is the will of God, and heaven overflows with it. And a voice came out of the throne, saying, praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great. And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thundering’s, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigns. Let us be glad and rejoice and give honor to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. Revelation 19:5-7} It reads in Revelation 19: 8; Fine linen, bright and clean, was given her to wear.” (Fine linen stands for the righteous acts of God’s holy people.) Tools; Rev 19:9 Then the angel said to me, “Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!” And he added, “These are the true words of God.” Spending time with God and your spouse is a blessing.

Love can always conquer
Whatever discord brings
A love can also cover
A multitude of things.
Don’t you underestimate.
What love can ever do,
For love is God eternal!
An His love can renew.
What is cold and lifeless,
Now lost all hope and died,
For love can breathe new meaning
Gives it back new life.
Please don’t give up on love!
When it seems that all is lost,
For there is always hope.
If we’re prepared to pay the cost.
For love is always worth it!
No matter how much the price,
For love will be much stronger!
When we trust in Jesus Christ.
So let God have full reign,
Let Him live within your heart!
Then you will know true love,
For this He will impart.
“This poem really touched my heart many times.”
