Is Your Spouse Also Your Friend

In a healthy marriage, lovers are also good friends.  Too often people marry before establishing a good friendship with one another.  Sometimes we are lead by our exciting feelings of love and passion before we take the time to develop a deep friendship with one another.  Developing a friendship involves listening, sharing and showing understanding for the other's likes and dislikes.  Building a friendship takes time, but it makes a love relationship much deeper and even more satisfying.

As the young woman spoke about Solomon, in Song of Solomon 5:16 "His mouth is sweetness itself; he is desirable in every way.  Such, O women of Jerusalem, is my lover, my friend

The Song of Solomon is traditionally considered to be a love poem.  God used marriage as an illustration of Christ's love for the church.

May You  Keep God First in Your Marriage and Be Overly Blessed by His Oneness!

Achieving Oneness Through Marriage

The union of a husband and wife merges two persons into one.  Oneness in marriage does not mean losing your identity in the personality of the other.  It simply means caring for your spouse as you care for yourself.    We are to help the other spouse become all he or she can be and learning to anticipate his or her needs.

Ephesians 5:31-33 "A man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one.  This is a great mystery, but it is an illustration of the way Christ and the church are one.  So again I say, each man must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband."

"Newlyweds" Need a Strong Start

Are you newly married?  Are you aware of the Law of Moses?  God used Moses and created the Law of Moses, which gave much protection to marriages and to women. 

Newly married couples are to remain together during their first year.  Why?  This is to help avoid placing an excessive burden upon a new untested relationship, giving it a chance to mature and strengthen before confronting it with numerous responsibilities.  Let your marriage grow strong by protecting your relationship from the many outside pressures and distractions, especially in the beginning.

Here is what Moses said; Deuteronomy 24:5 "A newly married man must not be drafted into the army or be given any other official responsibilities.  He must be free to spend one year at home, bringing happiness to the wife he has married."

Schedule a regular time to spend with your spouse.   Communicate often, don't let even good things take a higher priority in your marriage.

In The Beginning...

In the beginning, the Lord God said, " It is not good for the man to be alone.  I will make a helper who is just right for him." 

God chose, to make her from the man's flesh and bone.  In doing so, he illustrated for us that in marriage the man and woman symbolically are united into one.  If you are already married or planning to be married, are you willing to keep the commitment that makes the two of you one?

Your goal in marriage should be operating in oneness.

Scripture says "This one is bone from my bone, and flesh from my flesh!  She will be called woman, because she was taken from man."
Read Genesis 2:18-24

May You  Keep God First in Your Marriage and Be Overly Blessed by His Oneness!
