A successful
marriage is based on genuine heart agreement of the couple. They must be
willing to establish a Christian home with the husband as head of the home, the
wife a pleasant helpmate and with the family alter. The marriage must be based
on lifetime anticipation. Marriage is not an experiment for a short time. It is
permanent (Ephesians 5:25; Titus 2:4). Marriage is the oldest institution; Christians
may only marry Christians in God’s sight 2 Corinthians 6:14-17. A Christian
marriage is an institution where parents are bound together by Christian love,
where children are happy and instructed with scriptures, where the lord Jesus
is not only the supposed Head of the home but the actual Head and where parents
and children gather daily for family worship. A Christian marriage is the
marriage that radiates Christ, welcomes strangers and dispenses hospitality.
The Christian marriage is the backbone of the nation, the salt of civilization and
the glory of the Christian church. Christian marriage is the hope of the youths.
The secret of
a successful marriage is in the family altar where Christ is crowned as Head. Love
is another secret of a successful Christian home. Hebrews 12:6. God’s law and
standard does not change, Any Christian who breaks his marriage vows is therefore
playing with fire. A Christian marriage must be displined (i.e. being on guard
against the devil on daily basis). To be disciplined means: not to be entangled
with worldly affairs or devilish suggestions. Living exemplary life for God’s
glory. Our marriage will be successful in Jesus name, Amen.
