If two lie down together they keep warm, but how can one be warm alone? ~ Eccleasiates 4:11
Marriage is created by God uniting two as one. ?Love is always better when not alone, love can function on it?s own but there is another way much better. (I Cor. 12:31). ? God made Adam complete when he created a women to complete him. ?He created them to function in harmony together. ?Our bodies are made for each other, to compliment, produce children and to satisfy one another.
The Bible tells us that ?Two are better than one because they have a good return for their labor. ?For if either of them falls, the other will lift up his companion. ?(Ecclesiastes?4:9, 10). One may be the cook while the other works outside. ?One may be the housekeeper, while another is out making the living. ?One to care for the children while the other is may have temper issues and will not discipline as much. ?One may be better at business issues but needs the other to help remember things that are important.
You may be suffering because you can?t get past the differences you have with your spouse and could be suffering many wasted opportunities as a result. ?Taking advantage of the uniqueness that makes each of them more effective when including the other.
I encourage you to read the rest of this passage in the Love Dare book to read the story of Pilate?s wife trying to keep her husband the Roman Governor who presided over the trial of Jesus, to stop what he was doing. ?She knew that Jesus was the Son of God and could not?persuade?him to stop, which reveals an unfortunate side to man?s nature that is often downplayed. ?God made your help mate to complete the you, and He gives them insight that in many cases is kept from their men. ?If this discernment is ignored, it is often to the detriment of the man making the decision.
For the marriage to work like it should, you both have to work together. ?Both of you be a part of the finances, or any planning that effects your family. ?Your spouse has a right to voice their opinion. ?Then God holds the man accountable for your family. ?So take heart and listen to the spouse?s opinion before you finalize your actions.
Today: ?Recognize?that your spouse is integral to your future success. ?Let them know today that you desire to include them in your upcoming decisions, and that you need their perspective and counsel. ?If you have ignored their input in the past, admit your oversight and ask them to forgive you.
