Wisdom for Marriageنمونہ

Meaningful Marriage Marriage means something, because God says it means something. He invented marriage and as the inventor is very proud of His creation. The Lord's primary purpose of a man and a woman coming together in holy matrimony is to glorify Him. Thus, a marriage built on Christ points people to His character and to His perspective on relationships. For example, God's definition of love is active and other-centered, so when we read "love is kind" (1 Corinthians 13:4), we express a kind and caring attitude toward our spouse. There is a culture of humility in meaningful marriages that is quick to put the other person's needs before our own. A fulfilling marriage first follows Christ's commands. "It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs" (1 Corinthians 13:5). Love looks for ways to love like God loves. Moreover, a meaningful marriage is made up of a man and a woman who are intentional in their investment in each other. A husband cherishes his wife when he prays for her to grow in God's grace and when he seeks her counsel and advice. A wife honors her husband when she prays for him to grow in God's wisdom and when she sees him as the spiritual leader. A marriage of significance is one that plans and prepares on purpose. (Psalm 33:11) Wise are the woman and man who learn and discern the Lord's purpose for marriage and then plan to live it out. So, with a bold humility hitch your marriage wagon to heaven’s tractor of trust. The ride is not always smooth and easy, but it is a great adventure with Jesus and your best friend. Ride out the rough spots by faith and forgiveness and celebrate God's goodness along the way. A meaningful marriage is fun and fulfilling for Christ's sake (1 Corinthians 13:7-8).
