Today, divorce rates are as high as 50% in some countries, and some people believe that they are better off not being married. This brings up the question, is marriage a blessing or a curse?

Some people argue that marriage is a curse because if Eve was not created, and marriage was not instituted in the first place, there would be no sin in the world. Adam also seemed to believe this theory because he blamed God for giving him Eve when he was asked why he ate the forbidden fruit (Genesis 3:12). However, we must remember that Adam was alone, and God created Eve for his good. Everything was going well until sin came in. So, Eve was not the problem, the problem was sin.

Marriage can either be a blessing or a curse, depending on what either of the couple allows into their union. If marriage is done in line with God’s word, it will be a blessing. However, if either of the couple goes outside the will of God and lets sin in, there will be trouble. Today makes it 57 years since I have been married, and I can tell you without a doubt that my marriage became a blessing when my wife and I gave our lives to Christ and started living according to His will. Before then, we would have disagreements that would last for weeks, but these stopped when we surrendered to Christ.

I recall the story of a couple who fought every single night. One day, someone invited them to a RCCG parish in their city, and when an altar call was made, they gave their lives to Christ. Over the next three weeks, their neighbours didn’t hear them fighting. Curious, the neighbours asked the couple why they had not been fighting. They replied that they had brought Christ into their marriage, and He was the reason they stopped fighting. If your marriage is to be a blessing, you and your spouse must truly be born again, living according to God’s word. You and your spouse should study the Bible, pray, and evangelise together. You should both be on fire for God. When you do these regularly, you will discover how beautiful marriage is. I am enjoying my marriage, and I pray that you will enjoy yours too, in Jesus’ name.

marriage to the right person is a BLESSING; marriage to the wrong person or for the wrong reason is a CURSE... and this has nothing to do whatsoever with religion.

And it is only by God and through God that you a person can get his right and perfect spouse where both of them get blessed and the whole marriage blessed.

But without God, you people will continue to have and get what you have already seen people have.

again, finding a good wife has nothing to do with religion, the fact that you would even believe that only religious people find great spouse, makes you truly BRAIN DEAD! look around you, and see all the MILLIONS of xtians that go to church every sunday and divorce! look around you and see all the yeye pastors cheating and divorcing!

come on now, i know that you religious people make very little sense, but dont come here on NL writing GIBBERISH NONSENSE (as if we were mumus)

edit... i should have checked the OP's name before answering that quote. Stilldtruth rarely makes any sense on NL

Says one who hasn't still found any spouse after all the brain you think you have.

Secondly, if you were truly intelligent you would have seen that you have moved post from getting a right and perfect spouse to staying/having a perfect marriage which is hugely determined by lots of factors.

However, in all this everyone still knows God is still the best and many christians have had excessively perfect and succesful marriages.

sometimes silence ..

Right here and now, silence is because you already know that you cannot argue against the Truth
