God’s Purpose for Marriage

Marriage is the first institution God created in the beginning. Genesis Chapter 2 explains this in detail. It is an ordained union from God. 

Marriage is not just about procreation. Eccl 9: 9 says, “Enjoy life with your wife, whom you love, all the days of this meaningless life that God has given you under the sun—all your meaningless days. For this is your lot in life and in your toilsome labor under the sun.”

Before you think of getting married, ask yourself, Why am I doing this? Am I doing this because I want people to see me as a married man or woman? If this is Probably the reason for you getting married, then you are making a mistake.

Many people are into marriage for the wrong reason, and as a result, their expectations become higher than the result they get. When partners are on the same page in their relationship, things work out well, and it is much easier to settle differences.

The devil understands how precious marriage is to God, and he attacks marriages with misunderstanding, pride, poverty, infidelity, covetousness, unruly behaviour and much more.

Infidelity, on the other hand, is a common factor that has broken many unions. A saying goes, “The purpose of a thing is found in the maker of that thing,” meaning that, for someone to articulate and know their primary purpose of marriage properly, one must first acknowledge God as the creator of marriage. If you are married right now, and your marriage does not seek to glorify God and also make you a better person towards Him, then there is a huge problem.

It is better to pray for something when it has not arrived than to try to pray for it when we know we have already made a mistake. It is better to pray for marriage before it comes time to try to use prayer to correct a faulty marriage. Do not quote me wrong, please; there is nothing God cannot do, but a saying goes, “Prevention is better than cure.”

Why Marriage Fail?

Have you not wondered why marriages do not last as long in our generation as they used to in the days of old?

If you are not married yet, thank God you stumbled on this article. If you are married and feel married to the wrong person, the good news is that there is no damage beyond repair as far as God is concerned. All you need to do now is be open-minded and ready to learn, unlearn, and relearn.

This question, “Why do marriages fail?” has been one of the most searched phrases about marriage on the internet.

Marriages fail For so many reasons:

Lack of proper knowledge of what marriage entails

Many young men and women have gotten into marriages without knowing what marriage entails. Some probably feel marriage is all about love alone; love alone cannot sustain a marriage. The earlier we learn about marriage, the better for us; this will help us know if we are physically, emotionally, spiritually, and financially ready for marriage.

 Inability to find purpose in life

One of the root causes of failure in marriage is that partners do not know their purpose in life. If you do not know your purpose in life, you will likely embark on a journey with the wrong person. I am sure you know what this implies: embarking on a journey with the wrong person means embarking on the wrong journey.

 If you’re married to someone without finding your purpose in life, the day you find out who you are and realize that your partner is not actually who you thought they were, divorce is inevitable.

 Infidelity

This has been one of the greatest enemies of a successful marriage for a long time now. Satan uses this method to destroy a lot of homes. This is when prayer comes in. Let me be sincere with you: a lot of infidelity is found in physically propelled marriages. Some of them are spiritual forces sent from the kingdom of darkness to destroy marriages instituted by God. The only way to stop this is through divine intervention through prayers.

Taking God out of the picture

The last but not the slightest reason marriages fail is that many people want to take God out of the picture in their marriages. People who do this tend to pay the price in a short time. God instituted marriage for his glorification; the earlier we know this, the better for us. Today, many people have gone into wrong marriages because they neglected God.

Greed 

I initially did not want to talk about this, but as I pondered it, the Holy Spirit dropped some words in my heart. Greed is wrong, and it is one of the killers of marriages. Many people have fallen into the wrong hands because of a lack of contentment. God has a way of calling our spirit to order when we are about to do the wrong thing. Sometimes, greed clouds our kind, so we forget the main reason for our existence.

If that man is not heading your way, if that woman is not heading your way in destiny, do not marry because of what you stand to gain; it will end in shambles. I talked to a good friend a couple of days ago, and she told me that she does not want to marry just to be called Mrs but to fulfil God’s divine purpose in her life. 

If a wealthy man who is not heading her way in destiny tries to propose to her for the sake of her destiny, she will say a very big No to him. Greed kills and destroys marriages. A man or woman who gets into marriage out of greed will cheat, not because he or she wants to but because there is no fulfilment in the union.

Prayers For Faithful Marriage Bible Verses

If you go through the Bible, you realize many things about marriages have been said. God supports marriage.

According to the Book of Genesis, chapter 2:18, God said it is not suitable for a man to be alone. Therefore he makes him a helper (wife).

Proverbs 18:22: He that finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favour from God.

Genesis 2:24: Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one.

Proverbs 21:9: It is better to live on the housetop than to share a house with a troublesome wife.

Proverbs 19:14: House and Wealth can be inherited from patents, but a prudent wife is gotten from God.

Ephesians 5:25: Husbands, love your wife as Christ loved the Church and gave himself out for her.
