IT’S ONE THING TO BE LEGITIMATELY MARRIED and quite another to be very close as a couple.
Your church marriage certificate fancifully framed and displayed on the sitting room wall; your marriage papers from the courtroom carefully filed and hidden in the bedroom cabinet; double wedding rings on Madam’s finger; the huge oil paintings of your wedding pictures leaning on the wall close to the state of the arts electronic sound systems: yes, all these are fine paraphernalia of marriage. Yet, they can never forge the necessary intimacy that should characterize your covenant relationship.
Genesis 2:24 says: “Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.” Now, it takes action on the part of the husband to cleave to his beloved wife. It’s not enough to stand near her or be beside her or even be face to face with her. To cleave to her, he must stretch forth his hands and hold her very firmly so much so that he’s smelling her natural body odour and feeling and hearing her breathing. However, this must not be physical. It’s simply a representation of how very close he should be to his wife. The physical form of CLEAVING, just as we have taught in the past, is sexual intimacy. This singular act makes the spouses one flesh.
What’s the wife’s role in the cleaving aspect of marriage? She’s to respond to her husband by opening her arms and receiving him in her embrace; and holding him tightly to avoid losing him to strange women who are on the loose seeking a husband to snatch.
However, what will make you and your spouse really, really, close and deeply intimate goes beyond cleaving to each other; even though cleaving is one of them.
One of the things that will make you deeply intimate is the PRACTICAL WORKS OF LOVE that you do for each other and in one another’s life DAILY. These are powerful seeds that generate favour, trust and goodwill for you in the heart of your spouse.
Learn to go beyond the call of duty to do your spouse good on daily basis according to the measure of grace and material blessings that God has endowed you with. Don’t wait for special occasions to be nice and open-handed to them. Invest in their brothers and sisters and parents. Yes, be a blessing to them.
Be quick to forgive the trespasses and mistakes of your mate. Be merciful, gracious, generous, kind, full of compassion and tenderness. The harvests of these may not manifest soon but as you continue, they will. With time, your spouse will be touched with the realization that you are indeed a gift of God in their lives and they won’t ever want to lose you. As you continue to be practically good to your mate, your mutual companionship increases because as the scripture rightly says: “…every man is a friend to one who gives gifts.”(Proverbs 19:6b). Your liberality will make your spouse want more of your friendship!
Fondness soon begins to sprout powerfully and with this your mate will be longing for your return when ever you’re away from home. Closeness increases and deepens. Mutual understanding flourishes. Trust is entrenched and grows until implicit confidence resides in your respective hearts. And you’ll continue to grow into each other until you’re inseparable. It all starts with giving yourself and yours to your partner beyond the call of duty, without counting costs and beyond gender roles.
As a man, condescend to help your wife with her wifely duties when she’s somehow stranded or overwhelmed with so much to do. When you both do practical acts of love and kindness to and for each other, your union will grow to be an extraordinary and uncommon one that will bring glory to God as well as serve as an inspiration to others.
