PrimadonnaO:Well, I am not sure of that since we do have the example of Hosea to work with from the Old Covenant. Now that's not to say that God "Wills" marriage partners for everyone ... No, there are likely special cases out there is what I mean, again because we have the example of Hosea to work with as well. 1 Like |

professore:I don't think it is as easy as that all. I have seen people who do not even work on their marriage a bit yet they remain married for a long long time. The whole idea of "working on a marriage" to me is overrated. |

Tohsynetita1:How sure are you that they heard from God, to begin with? God doesn't lie... so why do you believe that God probably gave them faulty information when it could instead be that they never really heard from God, to begin with? |

Tobechuckwu:Do they really hear from God? So many people claim to have heard from God yet after it all, the relationship(marriage) ends up drawing them deeper instead into a life of religion and routines. How can God be said to have been responsible for such? Tobechuckwu:Why would God inflict a marriage on His own knowing it will eventually deprive Him of His relationship with His own? Tobechuckwu:Normal home training ke? You never enter home where both the man and woman are "confused" individuals but their love and devotion is another thing entirely? |

sterlingD:Work is required to make a marriage work? Isn't that the lie your marriage counselors tell you to get you to serve their egos instead? I say this because I have seen couples who live as friends(minimal stress) and their marriage is beautiful for it too... I am talking unbelievers here. So in the case of one who is a follower of Jesus Christ, if you have to do more work, in addition to the work God assigns you as His follower through His Spirit, isn't one worse off by it? 1 Like |

Tobechuckwu:Challenges are life's stables - they are everywhere... not just in marriages. Somewhere in the Bible, someone said that all good and PERFECT gifts come from God, does it not? So, if God indeed connects these two people, but rather than coming closer to Him, they end up far from God as a result, is God really the one who did the connecting, to begin with? 2 Likes |

No and never! Hearing from God is a human doctrine. None of them in the Bible heard from God before they married. Your marriage life depend on how you accept and handle it. Even Joseph did not hear from God before he espoused Mary |

Kobojunkiee: Relationship with God is vital nd it is not God fault if ur relationship isn't as good as it started. In d book of John, Jesus said I stand by the door knocking, it is now left for you to open up d door of ur heart to Him. God never force anything on mankind anymore. Everybody has d freewill to determine what he/ she wants. Even God said I lay before u live nd death, God said u should choose. Things work out when people put God first especially Ur relationship with Him. Fellowship is d most important thing in life. Fellowship with God has nothing to do with religion nd routine , but ur personal walk with God. God talks everyone, that u hear him today doesn't mean that is u will throughout ur marital life, u have to keep hearing which comes from fellowship with God. |

Kobojunkiee: That God connected two people in marriage if they now move away from fellowship with God nd divorce is it God's fault? Remember the thief comes but to steal, to kill nd to destroy. If God tells u to read a course in d university that will u very successful nd after year 1, you stop reading efficiently , stop going to lectures nd start keeping bad companies, won't the school authorities send u home even though God said that is d course u should study. In life, there's a place for God nd there's also a place for us to keep doing d right things so as to allow what God said to come to pass. 1 Like |

Exodora: God speaks to man in diverse ways yet man does not know. U are praying a definite prayer as regards husband and his calls always interrupt when u ask God to show you ur partner. Shouldn't u know this is a sign. You better don't look at the physical appearance but look unto Christ. Jesus loves you; He doesn't want you to miss him. Remove idols from ur heart, go to God with humble heart and he will confirm His will for you. 1 Like |

Afiastikal: Marriage is a journey of a lifetime and can many times make or mar you. It is therefore the most sensible thing to ask for God's counsel and help concerning it. A normal Christian ask for God's guidance and help in everything. It doesn't mean you don't have your part to play or that your life will automatically be a bed of roses. It keeps you from needless trouble though. 1 Like |

yinkbell:I never said his appearance is bad i only said he is so annoying. Besides what happened to the two should agree. There is no connection simply ! It seems he is monitoring me with something .In short am not praying again let me see how his calls will interrupt me again since he is now a wizard that sees almost everything . The devil can be decieving too. I know many people that are suffering in their marriage as a result of God ... |

Tobechuckwu:I am sorry but I don't buy this at all and you know what it is that I don't buy? It is that they heard from God to begin with. Who is it in the Bible that say every good and perfect gift comes from God? Yes, that! God would never give His servants that which He knows will eventually harm them and drive them away from Him.. we are talking here about God, remember? Yes, all relationships need those involved to stay committed to the relationship but recall that the one we, as followers of God are in relationship with is God Almighty Himself and in ensuring that the relationship He has with us remains unbroken, God wouldn't throw us into a marriage that would destroy that... So, I believe it is more the case that those who claim to have heard from God heard wrong to begin with hence the reason why the excuses/reasons given as far as broken/unsuccessful marriages among those who call themselves Christians and those who belong to the world sound exactly the same. I believe, with those who say they are Christians and heard from God, there was probably no real relationship between them and God to begin with - they may have, like over 2 billoon out there, had a religious kind of experience but not much else. This would more than explains why a worldly relationship such as marriage would drive them ever further away from where they used to be in terms of having a relationship with God. 2 Likes |

Tobechuckwu:God does not connect people to that which will drive them away from Him. Recall that God sees the end from the beginning and so God wouldn't connect His servant to that which will drive such away from Him. Your marriages are of this world , and not of the Kingdom of God , declared Jesus Christ. So God would not simply randomly connect two people in a marriage without giving priority to His promise that He will never lose any of His own. What this then means, again, is that those who loose God in the process of marriage never belonged to God to begin with. The probably heard something but most likely not God because God does not give evil to His servants. 1 Like |

Exodora: So sorry sister. I was just too impetous. I might be wrong in my judgement. God knows all things. Pls., do not give up praying, God will surely bring the right partner. Anyone that comes ur way is a stranger that's why you need to tell God about every development. His guidance is perfect. Just be opened to all truth. Jesus will do you good this year. Keep on interceding; He answers prayers! |

Kobojunkiee: People like you deceive themselves and let god of man deceive you as well. Even the Bible say “ Wisdom is profitable to direct” Because wisdom considers the best and safest way in every decision If you’re an AS still single go and marry SS someone who isn’t compatible with you... No one tells a blind man that it’s raining. People like you create problem for themselves and move from one church to another looking for miracle when you give birth to a sickle cell anemia child, putting the poor child in pain he didn’t ask for. |
