Marriage Works

(From The Minister's Heart)



When a man and woman marries - enters into holy matrimony. They also enter into a covenant -binding agreement - with God to put Him first in their life.



Genesis 2:18

And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone;  I will make him a help meet.


Genesis 2:24

Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother; and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

*** God do not want man to be alone on earth so he made woman to help him - so they can fellowship and have a good relationship with each other. God also wants to fellowship and have a good relationship with us.


A nationally known TV pastor said, "We have to work at marriage the way we work at salvation."

Our class Instructor/Counselor said, " Her counselling sessions in marriage is based on Ephesian 5:21 - 33."


***Ephesian 5:21 - 33 is in the Holy bible for our reading.

*** A main point God is telling spouses is to be submissive to each other, also be respectful to each other. The wife knows her husband is the head of the house and she should be obedient to him according to the word of God.  The husband knows the wife is the weaker vessel and he should respect her and lay down his life for her. To allow her to lean and depend on him through Jesus Christ.


*** Lastly, marriage vowels  are very sacred: for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer through sickness and in health ... till death separate us.


*** This is what Jesus said, " I will never leave you or forsake you; I will be with you until the end of the earth."  That is what he said.

 Hold on, hold on I will be with you that is what he said - song


*** Again, marriage is holy and the vowels are sacred.

*** Before marrying someone it is good to get spiritual counseling.



Proverb 18:22

Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the Lord.

*** When a man find a good help meet - a woman in the Lord - both of them have God's  blessings in the marriage.

*** Ask God to give you his chosen spouse and obtain his favor

Lets let our marriage work out in the Lord - until we meet again soon?
