3 And Pharisees came up to him and tested him by asking, “Is it lawful to divorce one’s wife for any cause?” 4 He answered, “Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female, 5 and said, ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? 6 So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.” ~ Matthew 19:3-6
God instituted marriage from the very beginning. He intended for man and woman to be together, not just physically but spiritually. In a sense, He created man to complete woman and woman to complete man because everything woman isn’t man is, and everything man isn’t woman is. But today, 50% of marriages end in divorce.
Why? Because we bought into the lie, that marriage is a 50/50 arrangement. That will only give you a 50% chance to win. It is a 100% effort on both sides. Both of you will need to put in 100%. Husbands, it’s your job to keep the love in the marriage. It’s your responsibility to foster a safe and loving home. You must love your wife as Christ loves the Church. You have to be willing to give up everything, including your own life, for her.
Wives, it’s your responsibility to nurture respect. Today, we live in a society that tries to make women feel demeaned for the man being the head of the household. We turn it into a feminist problem, but just like the hand is not more important than the head, neither is the husband more important than the wife. We have different roles, and that’s okay. Don’t allow the world to turn you into a victim or ruin your marriage.
Don’t give up on your marriage. Fight for the one you love.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Fight For Your Marriage.
