The most sources of problems that arise within marriages are caused by thecouples getting into marriage without understanding what they are doing.

It is a fault of thousands that they form or build their marriages on the basesof their feelings, needs, expectation andother people’s /relatives reasons, how rich they or how poor they are in otherinstances, some are escaping sexual immorality which is not bad anyway andso forth which is not actually the reason for marriage, the end and or thefailure of which result into a miserable life in marriage and even into adivorce sometimes.

Marriage is one of God’s requirements and or recommendations for thepeople to get into and it is simply the Word of God in action

(Then the LORD God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone, I will

make a helper suitable for him.”……For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to hiswife, and they will become one flesh.Genesis 2:18, 24 ),

which means that one has to be borne of God before s/he gets intomarriage.

Marriage is not a problem for anyone, but the problem becomes as a result of people creating their own bases and reasons for it while God is having otherreasons(spiritual off springs).

Other than anything or any reason such as:◦◦ To be taken care of by your partner.◦◦ To be financially supported by your partner.◦◦ To be loved by your partner.◦◦ To take the status of your partner( e.g. Pastor, Chief, Mayor

etc)◦◦ To satisfy your sexual needs.◦◦ To get yourself somebody who will nurse you when the days

when you cannot nurse yourself come.◦◦ To please or follow the instructions of your relatives or

friends.◦◦ Peer pressure.◦◦ To get married just because your financially able.

God (LOVE) expects himslelf to be the reason for the existence of thismarriage. Not that you do what God recommends you to do or requires to doto get married, but on the bases of your own agenda.

There is nothing wrong and difficult with marriage. Marriage is as simple as acompulsory narrower gate which leads the married couples to God especiallythose who are called by his name; which means, failure to go through thisgate when both partners are still alive, is the failure to get to your father inheaven or is the failure to maintain the presence of the LORD or is the failureto keep the fact that GOD = LOVE. Where there is separation, there is noGOD, because marriage should be kept alive by GOD (LOVE).

In most of the cases, the things or the factors which are labeled by people ascauses of difficulties in marriage, are actually the things which are broughtinto marriage covenant by either of the couples. These are the things orfactors which either of the married couples fail to undress /unclothethemselves of before they are or when they are in marriage covenant.

The list of personal agenda/needs mentioned above becomes *self created

problems* within marriages because the people use to come with this list of things into marriage; And they are very much obsessed with these things insuch an extent that if these things of theirs don’t come into effect, thatmarriage is dead.Coming with this list of things as your personal agenda and expectations forthe marriage, makes you( either wife or husband) to be program director of the marriage of which GOD himself is the One and Only director of thismarriage.

There is actually no problem with the marriages, the problems become as aresult of the partner failing to meet the before and inside marriagerequirements and tests which are set for strengthening their marriages andtheir faith in God.When tests and trials and tribulations come, is not the time to fear and runaway, but is only the time to raise the standard above that of them. Whenthey come, they prophesy about your next level.

◦◦ It is possible for any Christian to feel God through patience,◦◦ It is also possible for the most of Christians to experience the power of

God through perseverance, but

It is not that easy to see God face to face without endurance based onfaith in GOD (LOVE).

If you do not understand what I mean, you better understand the situation(fire) of Abednego, Meshack and Shadrack before they can see God.

If you still do not understand, you better listen to what Stephen says he seesas he is enduring the rain of stones on his body.

Ask Jesus what was he feeling as he was saying,

”Father, forgive them for they do not know what they are doing to me”

Consider God’s reasons for marriage, consider God’s requirements formarriage before you think of anything.

Christian outside marriage may survive upon patience and perseverance ,but endurance is main and the must have requirements for the people whothink they are ready to get married even though that won’t apply so much toall of the marriages, but it is a major risk not to have endurance as abasic requirement within marriage .

The main and common purpose for marriage for all people must be to beoffer or deliver or pass on LOVE(God) to the partner to the point where bothshall meet for life . Let LOVE be the spear that pins you all together for life.

When the spear pins you together you will continue to be one even duringthe days when you feel like taking a decision which you will regret after sometime.Even when I am not satisfied with anything, I can not go away from

you or make you go away from me because spear or sword is keepingus together as though not as we will but as He (LOVE) will.

What does the term meet means?

Meet means there are two different objects on different positions and stateswhich need to come together. If these objects have to come together, thatmeans there is a distance that needs to be done away with between them,or if it is the wall , that wall needs to be destroyed.

What could be the wall or distance?

Before God, there is a big distance or wall which is earth. Earth is your flesh.Your flesh is the field where anything evil is able to accumulate. How dirty aperson is, determines how much dirtiness has he or she attained from theearth.

Personal needs on the bases of which people build their marriages whichhave been mentioned above, earth or flesh is their place or domain where

they can come alive.How evil a person is, can be seen or can take place in the flesh. God (LOVE)who is in the form of HOLY Spirit who dwells within you is your heaven. Andbefore one gets into this heaven or GOD, the LOVE, he first has to gothrough the clothing flesh which contains all this dirtiness until reaching outto the real LOVE which enclosed within.

Love never fails.

If the kind of your love is failed by how your partner looks like outside, thenthat love is not real.If your love is failed by dirtiness/evilness of the outside clothing flesh, thenyour love is not real. Real love should be able to cleans him/her of outsideclothing.

If your love is based on the cloth or flesh together with its attachments, youare in danger of having your love finished when the outside coveringdeteriorates or lose value.But the real LOVE goes through and pierce all the outside covering clothingflesh and get to GOD inside, then that is victory for life.The real love is not turned off by evilness of the partner.It is not turned off by marital expectations not accomplished.

What you must bear in mind, is that your partner becomes a wall which isbetween you and God, which means that, if you fail to love this wall through,

you won’t be able to see God.Even though you may divorce and decide to continue to be one with God interms of worshipping, attending church service and partake in everythingthat pertains to church, you won’t be able to see God at the end of the dayuntil you go through your partner.

◦◦ When you hug your partner, you should be hugging him or her asthough desiring your God inside him or her.

◦◦ When there is erupting of thorns or fire outside (in flesh), you mustkeep in mind that GOD/LOVE is still there inside, you do not need goback, but you need to pave your way through the outside attitudes,

personal agendas until you reach out to the life restaurant inside.◦◦ Do not stop making way forward to Love until the flesh wall is behind,that will be the time when that wall will turn to become your protectionwhen you dine on the everlasting LOVE.

Marriage is not a joke, marriage is godly.
