ONE OF THE KEYS TO A PEACEFUL and happy marriage is contentment.

Every Marriage begins at it’s own unique level. While some start off in a beautiful mansion in one of the finest estates in town, others take off without a home. Oh, you’re surprised? Some actually began their marriage in the home of the Groom’s friend. But what says the Scripture?
“Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase”(Job 8:7).
So, there’s nothing wrong or laughable about a small beginning. Why? Because there’s a divine assurance that there’ll be changes and the end will be GLORIOUS!

As a couple, you need to understand that every Marriage treads a peculiar path and every couple have an exceptional and uncommon journey. When you understand this, you’ll not sip the deadly poison called COMPARISON. You’ll be contented with where you are per time, knowing that you didn’t get there by yourself and that’s it’s a miracle how you’ve thus far come and that the God Who brought you this far will do so much more.

Our anchor scripture is wonderful food, not only for spiritual pilgrims on their way to Heaven but for every married couple as well.

According to our anchor scripture, life’s greatest gains aren’t gold, silver and precious stones. They are GODLINESS AND CONTENTMENT. Why? Because at the end of life’s long day, we’ll not carry any material possessions from Earth into Eternity. It further teaches us that: when we have food to eat and clothes covering our bodies, we should contented!

What does it mean to be contented? It is to be happy and satisfied with what what you have, where you are and who you are at any given time.

As Bishop Oyedepo has sagaciously said, “Life is in phases and men are in sizes.” This truth also applies to Marriage. You need to recognize that there are phases in every Marriage and couples are in sizes. Some of the great and eminent couples you see today once had their lean season when things got so low that they used Omo Detergent to bathe not because they liked it but because they couldn’t afford even the miniature size toilet soap! But today? Their story is different. They cruise around town in big Jeeps.

Contentment generates peace of mind and restfulness. These two things are important qualities that create the necessary atmosphere in which love life thrives and flourishes.

Stop measuring life and good living with the yardstick of money and material possessions. Do you know that, the quality of life you and your Spouse are living today is by far higher than that of King David and other great kings of the past?
These great men knew completely nothing about Bicycles let alone Cars. They only knew about horses and chariots. When it rained as they rode on their kingly white horses, they had to hurriedly stop their journey and find a place to hide from the heavy downpour. Sometimes, there was no place to hide and they were drenched. And when they rode in their chariots, the speed wasn’t in anyway comparable to the slowest car of our day. But how about you? You own a good and comfortable car that moves in the fiercest rain and not a drop gets on your skin. When it’s hot you put on the car air-conditioning systems. And all throughout the journey you enjoy good quality music: luxuries that King David, Solomon, Ahasuerus and all the other ancient kings never could have imagined possible. Can’t you see that you have reasons to be contented and happy?

At home you sleep on a modern bed with a fabulously comfortable mattress while these ancient kings slept on mattresses that were stuffed with dried grass or at best, cottonwool or chicken feathers.
Yet you’re worried because you’re not yet a Billionaire like your next door neighbour and his wife; and because of that you’re troubled and don’t feel like making love!

Beloved, be contented because if you’re not, the enemy might get you just he has got many others. It was lack of contentment that made Ananias and Sapphira avaricious; leading to their keeping back part of the money from their voluntary landsale. And of course, you know what happened to them as a result? They were struck dead by God’s power.

Be contented with where you are right now, no matter how humbling and embarrassing it may SEEM. It’s a stepping stone on your way to your God-prepared Palace.

Dear wife, don’t be moved when you sniff the wonderful aroma of chicken meat being fried in your neighbour’s kitchen while in your home, it’s “Eba” or “loiloi” you’re swallowing week after week. Be thankful because eating Eba is a great blessing; for there are couples who go to bed hungry.

But as time goes on, every couple who endure to the end will have a change of story. They will like David and his wives move from Ziklag to Hebron and from Hebron to Jerusalem where he reigned for 33 years.

Be patient. Be contented. Be willing to wait. And surely your desired change as a couple will surely come:

“ALL THE DAYS OF MY APPOINTED TIME WILL I WAIT, TILL MY CHANGE COME.”(Job 14:14B)

🔥 LET THE WISDOM TO RECOGNIZE AND EMBRACE CONTENTMENT BE GRANTED EVERY READER THAT NEEDS IT, IN JESUS’ NAME!
