💦💧🫧🩵If a billionaire throws away every dress he wears once it becomes dirty because he cannot “stand” dirt, he will rightly be seen by all as a very foolish man.
💦💧🫧🩵HANDLING DIRTY BODIES AND DIRTY CLOTHES
The fact that a dress becomes dirty does not mean it should be discarded. Your duty is to wash, dry, and iron it, and once you do, you have your shirt back in a fresh and exciting form. Clothes are made of washable fabrics that have the capacity to last for years, sometimes even whole decades, when properly handled.
If a man concludes that because his body gets dirty every day and gives off unpleasant odours, therefore he has a bad body, he too will be seen as foolish. Why? Because it is common knowledge that the human body gets dirty every 24 hours, and the simple solution is to walk into your bathroom and have a good bath.
💦💧🫧🩵THE MARRIAGE BODY ALSO MANIFESTS WEAKNESSES
On the day a man and a woman become husband and wife, God makes them “One Flesh.” Just as the human flesh is weak—that is, imperfect (Matthew 26:41; Mark 14:38)—so also is the “One Flesh” entity formed by God’s divine joining on the day spouses become husband and wife.
Like the physical human body or flesh, it will become “dirty” from time to time due to our imperfections, assumptions, ignorance, poor upbringing, frailties, negative premarital exposures, and other inadequacies.
When the one-flesh body of marriage becomes dirty because of our weaknesses, what we should do is not become angry and conclude that we married the wrong person or that it is time to separate or seek a divorce. No! And again, no!
So, what should be done? What you need to do is simpler than you think, yet it is the solution: visit the “Marriage Bathroom” and have a “Love Bath” by soberly sitting down together somewhere in your home, preferably in the bedroom, and opening up to each other. The mistreated and offended partner should plainly tell the guilty spouse what they’ve done. And the guilty spouse should sincerely own up to their wrongs—apologising, confessing, asking forgiveness, and where necessary, making restitution. And the offended mate should walk in love and graciously forgive.
💦💧🫧🩵THE POWER OF BATHROOMS AND LAUNDRIES
Daily visits to the bathroom are what keep our bodies clean, lovely, and lovable. Doing laundry is what keeps our clothes clean and wearable. If we did not use bathrooms and laundries, you can only imagine how smelly we would all become in society. We would have an awkward community of stinking and strange-looking people who are nonetheless perfectly sane.
Many activities that involve people gathering together—such as church worship services, markets, banking, education, and others—would have to be halted simply because of dirty clothes and stinking bodies. And if people still refused to use bathrooms and do laundry for a long period, a strange epidemic might break out in the land.
💦💧🫧🩵JUST LIKE THE HUMAN BODY
Just as the human body is daily washed, brushed, groomed, dressed, and given the extra touch of perfume, so also do couples need to give attention to their matrimonial one-flesh life by being loving, lenient, understanding, kind, compassionate, and merciful toward each other, so that offences do not arise too frequently and make their one-flesh body dirty and smelly.
But once a transgression occurs, the guilty party should quickly ask for forgiveness, and the innocent partner should mercifully forgive. This is how long-lasting marriages are built: through the regular use of the “Marriage Bathroom” and the taking of a “Love Bath,” during which misunderstandings and offences are “washed” away and forever put out of sight, just as the dirt washed from your body and clothes flows away forever and never return.🩵
