The Bullet of Family Life: Married Love is the Answer
(If you are single this “Answer” is still important. Married or not we all have a stake in good marriages as individuals and as a society. We should all use our opportunities to encourage each other in the kind of love that makes a family all it should be.)
Throughout the country today – especially in Christian circles – there is an explosion of interest in the husband-wife relationship. Thousands have discovered for the first time the true fascination of the “one flesh” union in Christ. Many feel they are past help and long ago buried any expectation – other than minimal – for their married life. Yet, help – real help – great help is available to those who want it.
It’s amazing how much the Bible has to say about love, sex, romance, marriage and children. The Scriptures teach that a man’s greatest joy and fulfillment as a man should have its source in a Godly woman. Children are more greatly affected by love between their mother and father than by love between parent and child. Someone has said that the greatest thing a father can do for his children is to lover their mother.
“Therefore shall a man leave his father and mother and shall cleave (be know together) unto his wife; and they shall be one flesh. And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed” (Genesis 2:24-25). The nakedness spoken of here is that of body, soul and spirit. Many couples have so many walls and so much guilt between them that they never experience the delicious and intoxicating fullness of knowing another human being the way God intended! Only Jesus liberates a man and woman to be together the way God purposed in creation.
Marriage is God’s idea! It won’t work without Him! How are you doing?
