Marriage - Paving the Way!

This Sacrament of marriage reflects God's love for His creation. The Plan of God consists in bringing a man and a woman together.

True love it knows no boundaries or barriers. Time cannot stop this current and there is no frequency to it. It makes its mark on the heart and the heart knows!
True love is Patient, Kind, Forgiving. It holds no grudges. 
True Loves fire will keep you strong and warm.

2:21 So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and while he slept took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh; 22 and the rib which the Lord God had taken from the man he made into a woman and brought her to the man. Genesis 2:21-22
God created Adam and Eve, and the beauty is, God created Eve by taking a rib out of Adam. Adam rejoices in Genesis v23 “Then the man said, “This at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.”

5:1 When God created man, he made him in the likeness of God. 2 Male and female he created them, and he blessed them and named them Man when they were created. Genesis 5:1-2
In other words, God poured into all His creatures all that He himself is.
God created Adam and Eve in His own image and likeness male and female He created them. What we understand from this, Eve was already present in Adam when God created Adam. Therefore Eve was always a part of Adam, never apart from him. 
(In a Marriage, isn't it sweet, there is somebody for everybody.)
They become one body that was the plan of God. God intended from the beginning that man and woman would be one forever. God did not intend that man, and woman would be separated but rather they would be one flesh one body and therefore the conclusion would be what God has brought together let no man separate.

Marriage is a Sacrament.  
It is a covenantal relationship that two people come into the Presence of God - Who loves His children in a Covenantal Love.

Every relationship has its time of trials. Marriage is no exception to the rule.
When times get difficult in a marriage, suffering sometimes can strengthen a couple.
Because in a trying time you learn to rely on each other. You learn each other’s strengths and you understand each other’s weaker moments.
GOD IS LOVE!
If love is true, then trials that come only further solidify a relationship. But if love is not true, then no matter what, that marriage is doomed.
In a marriage, as a husband and wife, one needs the encouragement of the other. You to the other, becomes a strength in times of trouble. That is why God permits troubles to come our way. They lead us, to understanding our strengths. And dare I say, it is in each other.
The Motto: I’ll stand by You!

This is one of my all-time favourites. I'll Stand by You-By The Pretenders. 
Oh, why you look so sad?
Tears are in your eyes
Come on and come to me now
Don't be ashamed to cry
Let me see you through
'Cause I've seen the dark side too
When the night falls on you
You don't know what to do
Nothing you confess
Could make me love you less

I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you

So if you're mad, get mad
Don't hold it all inside
Come on and talk to me now
Hey, what you got to hide?
I get angry too
Well I'm a lot like you
When you're standing at the crossroads
And don't know which path to choose
Let me come along
'Cause even if you're wrong

CHORUS
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
Take me in, into your darkest hour
And I'll never desert you
I'll stand by you
And when
When the night falls on you, baby
You're feeling all alone
You won't be on your own
I'll stand by you.


The Plan of God is for a husband and wife to pave the way for each other, thus becoming each other’s reason for Holiness-Sanctification. It is in marriage that one can draw the other to a life of holiness.
Marriage is a Sacrament, a binding covenant. And as such there can be no end.
