Marriage Principles by uchkochi(m): 6:43pm On Nov 26, 2008
MARRIAGE PRINCIPLES

I feel led to write on this very important issue, but yet neglected at this time. It is lack of the knowledge of the principle of marriage that is making many marriages to perish in problems sometimes leading to divorce or break up.

Hosea 4:6- my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge if you look at the world today there are about 6 billion people on the planet earth and everyone belongs to a family. So the family plays the first role in the upbringing of a child. No wonder the bible says in Proverbs. 22:6 – Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he shall not depart from it. So every thief, robber, rapist, fraudster, drug dealer or addict, assassins became so because the family where he or she belongs did little or nothing about this error.

So this teaching is hyper-sensitive and very important at this time. There are principles of marriage you must know and understand;

1) Marriage is ordained by God. God instituted it He ordained it, Genesis 2:24; Therefore shall a man leave his father and mother and cleave to his wife and they shall be one flesh.

This scripture is repeated verbatim in Matthew 9:18 and Mark 10:7.

Marriage is not a secret union for the only purpose of procreation or companionship. Marriage is a department in God’s master plan at the beginning before He created the world. God programmed marriage as a tool for the fulfillment of the destinies of men.

2) Marriage is important: - some one might say, well it’s not compulsory for me to get married, but if your parents did not meet, there is no how you would have come to this world.

Every man or woman that is privilege to come into this world has a specific purpose and marriage is the only accredited spring board upon which anyone is born.

God was the one that said to Adam that it is not good for the man to be alone. It will definitely get to a stage when it is not good for you to be alone.

Listen to me; this is why it is not good for you to be alone;

a) Two is better than one because they have a good reward for their labour, for if they fall one will lift up his fellow, but woe to him that is alone when he falleth, because he hath not another to help him up. Ecc. 4:9-10.
b) Again if two lie they will have heat, how can one be warm alone, Ecc. 4:11- The heat of life pressures can render you helpless that is why a woman is a help meet to a man as designed by God.
c) He that findeth a wife findeth a good thing and obtain from the Lord; Prov. 8:22.
There is a favour that God brings; there is a favour that a friend brings. There is a favour that a wife brings, not a woman but a wife, you will never know about this kind of favor until you are married.
d) Your influenced is automatically increased, God created man for dominion, when he has a wife the dominion increases. One shall chase a thousand but two shall put ten thousand to flight you only become better when you get married. But caution! Caution!! NOT EVERY WOMAN IS YOUR WIFE AND NOT EVERY MAN IS YOUR HUSBAND- this brings us to the next principle of marriage.

3) Not every woman you get married to is your wife, and not every man you get married to is your husband, the institution of marriage has been grossly abused especially in the western world. And this is the reason for the high rate of divorce.

In Matthew chapter 19 from 5; Jesus was teaching on marriage the people asked him a question in verse 7 about the issue of divorce. He then explained in verse 9 that “from the beginning it was not so.

Divorce is not the will of God.

In verse 4 of Matthew 19 Jesus said that God created everybody male and female and in verse 5 He said for this cause shall a man leave his father and mother and cleave to his wife. This is the point, from the beginning God ordained your wife but you have the responsibility of finding her, that’s why He said…He that findeth a wife… What God does is that He organizes connections/meetings for you to meet any where or any time but you have to be sensitive to the will of God.

God is more interested in your marriage than he is for your business because marriage is God’s business; there are children of specific destinies assigned to come through the agreed union between you and your ordained wife.

Remember Isaac was the child of promise to come through Abraham and Sarah but Ishmael came through Haggi Abraham’s maid against God’s will. And this is the problem of the world today, Isaac was promised but impatience made Abraham to sleep with Haggi and Isaac did not come through that act but Ishmael.

Isaac could only come through Sarah no other person.

This is vital; it is not Gods will for things to be so hard as it is in the world today but man’s ignorance of certain truth is making things difficult, I am glad that you now know.

4) The fourth principle of marriage is this, marriage is honorable with the bed undefiled – Heb. 13:4
Marriage is meant to be honourable but the sexual indulgence in courtship or relationship before proper wedding is making many homes to lack this honor.

God told me long time ago in school precisely that what you do in your friendship/relationship/courtship is a seed that bears fruit in your marriage and family.
So a Godly honourable marriage is that that is free from sex during courtship or relationship until you are properly wedded caution! Caution!! Caution! Do not endanger your future. God overlooks the period of ignorance but now He says repent. Your change her finally come.


5) It takes two to fight, the necessary quarrels going on in marriages is uncalled for there cannot be two captains in a ship. When the husband is angry please wives please be at ease and vice versa. Quarreling and fighting is as a result of the husband and wife been provoked at the same time. For example in the wrestling contest no matter how a wrestler charges and the opponent refuses to react there would not be a fight. The battles in your homes has stopped in Jesus precious name Amen

There might be misunderstanding but wisdom/patience/love can birth an understanding even in the misunderstanding.

Husbands love your wife the same way as Christ loves the church that he died for and see if your wife will not be completely submissive to you. Wives be submissive totally to your husband and see if your husband will not love you unreservedly. Ephesians 5 vs. 22 to 25

If you are married I speak the honor of God to cloth your marriage and family in Jesus Precious name.

If you are not, then you have better deal, apply these principles and watch a great change that shall occur as you look forward to getting married some day. You are blessed of the Lord.
