GOD’S PURPOSE IN MARRIAGE

Nothing happens in this world without a special purpose, so when God created marriage He had a special purpose. The purpose of marriage is not limited to the act of marriage, likewise the help that God has said is not a woman to be weak or a slave to her Husband. The concepts of inferiority have caused many couples to fail to reflect further on GOD's plans for the purpose, position and role of husband and wife in marriage.

Every couple should understand that marriage is important and very good so if marriage will be managed well, blessings, love, happiness and well-being will be seen, this is because in marriage there is fullness of GOD’s creation.

Genesis 2:18 “Then the Lord God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper as his partner.”

There are so many challenges in marriage that can cause so much pain and even death if couples will not have an understanding on how to deal with them. The important thing to consider is that marriage is built on UNDERSTANDING and not ONLY love.

Couples should know that LOVE can go away, but KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING are permanent things, through those couples can build their marriage. Therefore couples should in any way live for this purpose. Even if couples have different personalities from their background, it is important for marriage to find healing and deliverance to heal the pain and wounds that are there.
