WHOM GOD JOIN TOGETHER
WHOM GOD PUT TOGETHER, IN MARRIAGE:
Apostle James R, Betty R Winfree, Sr, Nationally, Globally Kingdom Social Media Ministries:
We Are Mandated By The Lord To Cultivate, Enlighten, and Empower, God's Nations Son's And Daughters In His Love. Know this, We're Not in the Work of Ministry For Any Income, But We're in God's Work and Ministry to hear Him say, Well Done My faithful dedicated committed spiritual Kingdom of God's sons and daughters, This is the Income We're looking to receive on that Day.
Matthew 19:6
So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, let no one separate.”
2 Corinthians 6:14
Do not be unequally bound together with unbelievers [do not make mismatched alliances with them, inconsistent with your faith]. For what partnership can righteousness have with lawlessness? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?
Ephesians 5:33
However, each man among you without exception is to love his wife as his very own self with behavior worthy of respect and esteem, always seeking the best for her with an attitude of lovingkindness, and the wife must see to it that she respects and delights in her husband that she notices him and prefers him and treats him with loving concern, treasuring him, honoring him, and holding him dear.
Matthew 6:15
But if you do not forgive others nurturing your hurt and anger with the result that it interferes with your relationship with God, then your Father will not forgive your trespasses.
In keeping it real open honest and true, most of us get married for the wrong reasons, first, we view how someone looks, their body size, what they have and own, do they make enough money, how much learning or education they have or if they are good people.
Marriage is Not of humans, But of and from God our heavenly Creator, marriage is the most intimate relationship two human beings man and woman can experience, second only to a relationship with God. Marriage brings out the best and the worst in most relations marriages, as two separate opposite individuals struggle to live as "one flesh" ( Matthew 19:6; ) ( Mark 10:8 ). At the root of most marriage problems is selfishness. When one or both partners choose to live as though his or her needs deserve top consideration, conflict results.
There are specific verses that address the behavior of both husbands and wives. Some of those are 1 Peter 3:1-8, Colossians 3:18-19, and Titus 2:3-5. Although not addressing marriage directly, Philippians 2:3-13 is an excellent recipe for resolving marriage problems. This passage tells us to adopt the attitude Christ demonstrated when He set aside His rights and privileges as The Son of God and came to earth as a humble servant. Verses 3 and 4 say, "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your interests but also to the interests of others." When that exhortation is applied to marriage, almost any obstacle can be overcome.
Certainly, seeking counsel from a godly pastor or Christ-believing marriage counselor is a biblical way to go (Proverbs 19:20). Getting counseling is an excellent way to clear misconceptions about marriage roles, to see a situation from another viewpoint, and to distinguish between God’s standards and those of the world. Today many non-biblical people are trying to advise on marriage and they have been married many times.
By God's grace and mercy Betty and I have been and are still in a loving marital relationship for over forty-five years and by His grace the year coming will be a forty-six phenomenal journey.
Ephesians 5:21-33 gives specific instructions for both husbands and wives. A husband is to love his wife "as Christ loves His Church and gave Himself for Her" (verse 25). Such self-sacrificing love creates an atmosphere in which a wife can more easily submit to her husband’s leadership. When a husband is committed to demonstrating love for his wife, and a wife is committed to graciously allowing her husband to lead, the marriage will work.
It is also wise to pay close attention to the verses just before the specific marriage instructions. Ephesians 5:19–21 says, "Do not get drunk with wine, for that is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord; always giving thanks for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father; and be subject to one another in the fear of Christ."
Notice all the commands that precede the marriage instruction. All Christ Believers are to
Before getting married and making that godly commitment, become friends without benefits or strings attached.
• Refuse to get drunk and out of control
• Be filled with the Holy Spirit
• Encourage each other in the Lord
• Sing hymns and songs of praise together in your home
• Have an attitude of continual worship
• Live in a spirit of gratitude and thankfulness
• Submit graciously to each other in Christ our Savior and Lord.
We miss vital truths when we skip straight to the marriage instructions without applying the practical guidelines in the preceding verses. When each spouse applies those truths to his or her personal life and strives to make his or her relationship with the Lord the primary focus, marriage problems take a back seat. When two committed Christ Believers purpose to seek God’s heart and follow His will no matter what, there is no problem that they cannot work through. Amen.
