OUR ANCHOR SCRIPTURE SUMMARIZES in a few words everything that marriage entails. It doesn’t say that marriage is a business, a religion, a hobby or a vocation. It shows it as a relationship of TWO LOVERS, a man and a woman, who have left parents and by sexual love become one flesh.
The picture of marriage as depicted in the last paragraph must be what you and your Spouse ardently believe and practically endeavour to live out EVERYDAY. For a better understanding, we’re going to break down the teaching.
(1) YOU’RE UNDER ONE ROOF BUT NOT CO-TENANTS
Marriage has brought you under one roof but you MUST watch against becoming mere co-tenants!
You don’t touch your tenants of the opposite, do you? Of course, you don’t. You avoid it like a plague because you know the risks involved and the damaging implications. You keep a distance, a good distance, when talking to them. The exact opposite should obtain with your Spouse. Why? Because your Spouse is your lover, your sweetheart, your heartbeat, your darling, your beloved, your dearest and your inamorata. When you both understand this, you’ll connect romantically by touch, exchange of affection, text messages as much as possible in the course of the day. Doing this keeps your mutual love for each other hot and fluid instead of frozen and congealed.
(2) YOU’RE PARENTS BUT NEVER FORGET THAT YOU’RE FIRST OF ALL LOVERS
Marriage leads to the birth of children, giving you a new identity: PARENTS. This is exactly as God ordained it.
However, you must be careful not to mix-up your first identity and the new one. They’re distinctly different from each other and must stand separately. Don’t let your parenting responsibilities swallow up your Lovelife. It’s costly. This is the mistake many have made, especially wives. Obviously you’ll both have strong affection for your tender children. Who hasn’t heard the kindergarten Song:
“Who sat and watched my infant head;
When sleeping on my cradle bed;
And tears of sweet affection shed,
My mother.”
But don’t make the mistake of abandoning your Spouse and focusing on the children. God designed you to be able to perform the tasks of parenting and the duties of marriage simultaneously.
Emotionally abandoning your Spouse because of the children could fracture or even crash your marriage bringing pain to you, your husband and the children you’re serving with a wrong and ignorant approach. Be careful. Don’t win the battle and lose the war.
(3) YOU’RE NOW SEEING EACH OTHER EVERY DAY BUT DON’T LET YOUR MATE’S ATTRACTION TO YOU DIE!!!!
Marriage has indeed brought both of you into very close contact where you see each other every day. Nevertheless, do everything you can to retain your old attractiveness that made your husband propose marriage to you or that made your wife accept to marry you. This means that you must be clean and well dressed every day. Even the Lord said that man looks at the outward appearance(1 Samuel 16: 7). So, don’t look dirty, disheveled and smelly.
Your Spouse’s nature craves a sweet looking person of the opposite sex. Ensure you’re that person so they don’t find one outside!!
Your marriage is your one and only God-given Love World. Be all and everything Lovers could be to each other so you’ll both find complete marital fulfillment at home.
