Truth is, no relationship comes with a lifetime guarantee. However, as Christians, we have help in improving the success of the relationship by applying the word of God.  From the very beginning of my wife and I relationship, I always felt that our marriage wasn’t about us per se but more about Him. I was sharing with someone the other day and I shared with them the real driving factor about why I wanted to get married.

Although I thought I loved the woman that I was about to married I realized if I was going, to be honest I did not truly know what love was at that time but, my love for God and doing right in His eyes led me to do the right thing for both my future wife and myself. This is what I mean when I say “Bring the entire relationship under the word of God”, that everything you do in a relationship should be driven by the fact that it should please God. “One Marriage Under God With Liberty”. Free to love like God, Free to give to each other like God, Free to walk together like God intended for you to walk. “Can two walk together, except they be agreed? Sometimes you will disagree to get to an agreement and this process should be done in such a way that also pleases God.

You may ask the questions! Why should I bring my relationship under the Word of God? Because within the obedience of doing so are great benefits specific to marriage. If you understand what a covenant is you should understand that marriage mirrors God’s covenant with His people which should prove to you how important marriage is to God.
