Marriage Matters

I have been disconnected from the Blogosphere for sometime. I have three exams this week, but I wanted to check back in for a minute to share with you a couple of thoughts from the marriage seminar my wife and I just got home from.

We are in a 16 session training on how to start a marriage and family ministry in the local church.

For those who are marriage and who are going to get marriage one day will appreciate what I am going to share:

The strongest marriages and families are marriages and families who model their marriage after the Godhead. The Godhead is the trinity, which is Father God, Jesus, the Son of God, and the Holy Spirit who is God.

The Godhead operates in complete unity. Marriage couples must strive to imitate their unity, even though we will not be perfect, it must be our goal.

The Godhead operates even though their is diversity. You never see in the Bible, God the Father barking out orders to God the Son, Jesus. They all have different roles, but they embrace their differences to strenghten their relationship. We must celebrate our difference. God created your spouse for a unique purpose. They can do things for you that no one else can do, not your best friend, your parents, not even God. Our spouses are different for our benefit not our detriment.

I am excited for the next trainings. I think this is going to help my marriage more then others. I know I have to be intentional in being marriage or I will be a bad husband. Marriage is hard work, but a noble task.

If I can enhance the glory of my spouse in my life, I succeeded, but if I neglect my wife for work, ministry or whatever, I will have failed.
