MARRIAGE involves a blending of lives,
not merely a “joining.”
Many marriages flounder because
each continues to look back over
their shoulder at freedoms and relationships
they had in the past.
When a couple invites Jesus Christ
to be the cornerstone to their marriage
the strong foundation upon which they build their relationship
they are inviting Him to walk before them.
Then He is free to lead them forward
into the unique purpose He has for them as married couple.
We are unique as individuals,
but each marriage is also unique.
It is as individuals and one of a kind
as the two people involved.
Just as God created us
as completely original individuals,
so we need to invite Him to make our marriages
completely original relationships.
This can only happen when each person
in the relationship yield his or her individuality
to God’s higher purpose.
C.S Lewis said,
“Self exist to be abdicated.
In self-giving we touch a rhythm,
not only of all creation, but of all being,
for the Eternal word also gives Himself in sacrifice.”
Marriage was designed
to teach us about our relationship with Jesus.
The key to a good marriage is loving self-sacrifice.
