MFM DAILY DEVOTIONAL 16TH JULY 2023 MESSAGE:
Marriage is the oldest institution born in the heart of God. God gave marriage as a gift to Adam and Eve. They were created perfectly for each other. Marriage was not just for convenience, nor was it brought about by any culture. It was instituted by God and has three basic aspects: (1) The man leaves his parents and, in a public act, promises himself of his wife Gen. 2:24. (2) The man and woman are joined together by taking responsibility for each other’s welfare and by loving each other above all. (3) The two become one flesh in the intimacy and commitment of sexual union which is reserved for marriage.
For a marriage to be blissful and be a heaven on earth, God’s purposes for this great institution must be followed diligently. The keys to a successful marriage are as follows: first, you must obey God’s word in 1 Cor. 7:5, It says that you must not defraud each other. Sometimes spouses deny their partners sex by giving flimsy excuses like, “I have a headache”, “I am very tired because I had a hectic day at work today,” etc. Beloved, for you to enjoy your marriage, you must be sensitive to the feelings of your spouse. Endeavour to satisfy your spouse even at the expense of your comfort. Families where the husband and wife enjoy each other sexually have the happiest homes(1 Corinthians 7:3-5).
Another vital key to a happy marriage is found in 1 Pet. 3:1. It says. Likewise, you wives, be in subjection to your own husband….”You must submit totally to your husband as a wife if you want to enjoy happiness in your marriage. Submission is not an option in a successful marriage but a command. Wives, note that a smile and a gentle spirit will go a long way to win the heart of your husband.
The Bible commands wives in Eph. 5:22 to submit themselves unto their husbands. Husbands are also commanded to love their wives. Obedience to these commands come with great reward.
