Lets talk about marriage; first thing God says right in Gen 2:24 For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh. Talking of a young man in his manhood setting out to start his own family, getting married lasting forever.
Now lets move on to courtship scriptures. 1Pe 4:8 Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. Rom 12:10 Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. Loving fervently and having honor for each other.
Remembering that God joined you together in marriage forever, these scripture back that up. Mat 19:5 and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’ Mat 19:6 So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.”
Always keep guard of your senses. Remembering that you are to honor your spouse. And to your spouse like as God loved the church. With that said you get what God is imposing upon us LOVE is the key to happiness. Exo 20:17 “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his manservant or maidservant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.” Pro 4:23 Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life. Php 4:7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
We all get angry but we should never go to bed that way. Always try to work it out, but if for some reason you cant, at least agree to put it aside until a time that you can continue it. But never just expect it to go away, be honest about a time in which it can be continued. Eph 4:26 “In your anger do not sin” Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, Eph 4:32 Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
Keep Christ the center of your home, “Christ, husband & wife, children” this goes back to Psalms 127 building your house on sand “worldly” vs. solid rock “Christ”. Psa 127:1 Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchmen stand guard in vain. Pro 3:6 in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
Remember to pray together this will bring closeness in your relationship and pray for one another to lift each other up. Mat 26:41 “Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak.” Jas 5:16 Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective. Jas 1:5 If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.
