Becoming the Right Person for and in MarriageSample

MARRIAGE MUST ALIGN WITH YOUR CALLING

No man fulfils destiny in isolation. The Bible asks, “Can two walk together, except they be agreed?” (Amos 3:3 KJV). Agreement here is not about hobbies or preferences—it is about alignment in the spirit. Jesus Himself declared, “I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me” (John 5:30 KJV). If Jesus submitted His will to the Father to fulfil His mission, how much more must we submit our marital choices to God’s will? Any marriage that does not align with your calling will eventually drag you away from it.

A husband is meant to be helped by his wife, not hindered, and a wife is meant to be covered by her husband, not confused. When you marry outside your calling, you either spend your years struggling to pull a reluctant spouse along or you abandon your call to keep the marriage. That is why God will never choose a partner for you who is opposed to His assignment for your life. Sisters, you must ask, “What is this man’s destiny? What exactly am I to help him with?” Brothers, don’t marry a woman who despises your call, no matter how beautiful she looks or how much she flatters you. Beauty fades, but divine purpose endures.

Practically, don’t be sentimental when it comes to destiny. If God says no, don’t negotiate. If He says wait, don’t run ahead. Marriage is a covenant partnership for divine assignment. A missionary cannot afford to marry a partner who hates the mission field, just as a minister cannot marry someone who despises the anointing. Let God choose for you; He knows who will fit your calling perfectly. If you are married already, consecrate your union afresh to God and insist that your home will serve His purpose. Anything less than destiny alignment is dangerous compromise.

THOUGHT TO PONDER
Am I choosing a partner who aligns with God’s call on my life? Or am I dragging sentiment into a decision that demands accuracy?

PRAYER
Lord, let my marriage align fully with Your call on my life. Deliver me from every compromise that will hinder my destiny.
