GOD DIDN’T JUST INSTITUTE MARRIAGE, He personally loves it and believes in it. And that’s why after the Flood of Noah, when He had the opportunity to scrap, modify or reconstitute it, He didn’t. He instead BLESSED IT AND RE-ESTABLISHED IT; EXACTLY AS HE DID IN THE BEGINNING IN EDEN. We can see this in our anchor scripture for today.
God instituted Marriage firstly for HIS PLEASURE (Revelation 4: 11); and it should interest you to know that every single component of marriage gives Him PLEASURE. This includes the Love, companionship, pillow talks, kissing, hugging, affection, passion and the sexual intimacy of the couple with all it’s ecstasies, down to the minutest details. There’s no part of marriage that God sees as shameful, “dirty” or embarrassing. None!
If you’re going to enjoy your Spouse and your marriage to the fullest, you must have the same kind of mindset and viewpoint that God has about marriage.
When we become born again, one of God’s desires is to see us TRANSFORMED to be able to view things the way He does:
“AND BE NOT CONFORMED TO THIS WORLD: BUT BE YE TRANSFORMED BY THE RENEWING OF YOUR MIND…” (Romans 12:2a)
As you can see in the verse cited above, God doesn’t want you to be in conformity with the world in anything; including Marriage. The world gleefully attends Weddings but doesn’t believe in Marriage as instituted by God in Eden, but works vehemently against it. That’s why there are several versions of Marriage today; from Polygamy, Polyandry, Trial Marriage, Exogamy, Endogamy, Morganatic Marriage, Open Marriage, Shotgun Marriage to Same Sex Marriage: which enjoys endorsement and support from governments of very many “civilized” nations of the WORLD.
Thankfully, God has a powerful instrument for transforming us to have renewed minds. That instrument is His Word. His Word fills us with the Truth which gives us liberty from sins, traditions, taboos, myths and superstitions: all enemies of love life in Marriage. His Word also grants us Light and illumination to see things as God sees them, enabling us to appreciate our Spouse and the blessing of being married to them.
Believing in marriage is inclusive of accepting it’s sanctity, sacredness and it’s covenant status.
I once saw a woman whose words instantly told me she didn’t believe in the sacrosanctity of marriage. As we traveled in a bus she boisterously said without minding the fact that everyone in the vehicle was hearing her: “Ugbo ma n’Ōkō ku ma mà nē Ēnajà?”, meaning: “Where in the world does a woman get married and not have a Male Lover at the side?” This is a typical example of a person that badly needs to be born again and have their minds renewed. It’s because of such women that we still have incorrigible married Prostitutes in our societies. Their actions stem from their wrong beliefs. Of course, this isn’t peculiar to women. There are also husbands who unfortunately have this skewed mindset and that’s why marriages are collapsing right, left and center.
Dearly Beloved, GOD WANTS YOU TO BE DIFFERENT. It’s not enough that you’re married. It’s of uttermost importance that you believe in the inviolability of Marriage as God established it from the beginning. This belief begins as you totally embrace the whole counsel of God on Marriage as presented in the Bible from Genesis to Revelation.
When you truly believe in marriage, you won’t struggle trying to avoid Infidelity because you’d know from the Scriptures that Adultery offers nothing but DISGRACE, SUFFERING, DEATH AND ETERNITY IN THE LAKE OF FIRE.
