Marriage is a deep love affair where you practice complete love; all of love.
Many have casually walked into the married state with out having the slightest awareness of what it means to love their partner in marriage.
You can’t succeed in marriage, until you are sold out to loving your spouse.
It’s not a decision anyone will persuade or coerce you to make. You get your inspiration and conviction to do so from the pages of scripture as you read and purpose to live out the model for married couples as shown in the relationship of Christ and the Church.
Christ is sold out to loving the Church and that’s why He could lay down His life for her(the Church).
The Church is sold out to loving Christ and this is one of her success-secrets.
You can’t walk in half-measures and succeed in marriage. Half-measures is the problem of many spouses in marriage. You can’t walk by half-measures and succeed in your spousehood. True Lovers don’t love half-heartedly. Half-hearted commitment only produces lukewarm love.
The Church and Christ succeed in their relationship because they both operate on supreme love. Love that is fervent and extremely hot it consumes everything that seeks to make it fail in it’s commitment to her Beloved.
In His supreme love, Christ laid down His life for the Church, resurrected for her and serves even now as her Advocate, Mediator, High priest and Intercessor. His love for her still continues.
And the Church on it’s part solely lives for Christ separated from the world even though she’s still in the world. She denies herself, takes up her cross daily, follows Christ daily, loves Christ above father, mother, brothers, sisters and spouse.
To the Church, Christ comes first before anything else. She’s consecrated to Christ and Christ is consecrated into her.
It’s this level of supreme love that spouses are called to walk in to succeed in marriage.
The wife must be totally submitted to her husband as unto the Lord. She’s to submit to him in everything as the Church is unto Christ in everything. And the husband is to love his wife as Christ loved the Church and gave His life for her in an agonizing death: all for her redemption.
As has been said earlier, you get your inspiration and conviction to love your Spouse on this level from the pages of scripture.
As a husband, God commands you to love your wife as Christ loves the Church. He commands you knowing that He has given you the Grace and the capacity to do so. Now, it’s up to you to make a choice to obey or to walk in rebellion and treat your wife as you like. But you’ll have a miserable marriage if you do so.
And wife, God commands you you to submit to your husband knowing that He has given you sufficient Grace and capacity to do so. You can obey His voice and enjoy a glorious and peaceful home or choose rebellion and have a tough and rough marriage that may even end in divorce. The choice is yours.
