9 simple steps to a happy marriage

Marriage is ordained by God, He created it, therefore it would make perfect sense that He also created the manual for it.

Now, marriage is not easy or perfect and it will never be perfect in this world, since it involves the union of two sinful people trying to survive in a sinful world.

But it does have a purpose and it is to grow as individuals and as a couple and draw closer to God through our experiences, our difficulties and tribulations.

If you understand and know God, then you will know that our purpose here in this world is to glorify Him through our good works and that He uses the circumstances and people around us to mold us into His image, and this includes your spouse. .

Now God is faithful to His Word, so even if you don’t believe in God, if you obey His Words then you will receive the blessing of your obedience. For example, the Bible says: Husbands love their wives and wives respect their husbands. If a couple who does not believe in God follow this rule, then God will be faithful to his Word and they will be blessed. Which is why even a couple who doesn’t believe in God can have a happy marriage. Or a couple who believes in God may end up getting divorced.

It’s not believing in God that makes the difference in your marriage, it’s obeying what God said.

Another example, God says that you should not commit adultery and that even looking at another woman and wanting to have her in your heart is already adultery. If a couple does not believe in God but decides to follow this moral principle. They will receive the blessing of it, because God is faithful to his Word, and if a couple who believes in God does not follow this moral principle, then they will face the consequences. It’s that simple, it’s not just believing it’s obeying and applying.

So this is the reason why many couples who believe in God end up getting divorced. It is not God who fails them, but the real reason is that they did not follow what God commanded for marriage. It is also the reason why many couples who do not believe in God seem to be happy, because even if they do not believe they follow the simple moral virtues that God ordained.

What are God’s simple rules for marriage?

1) Love one another. If they love each other, they wouldn’t want to hurt each other.

2) Husbands, love your wives. A woman wants to feel loved. She wants to feel that she is the most important person in your life. She wants to be wooed, idealized, and charmed, even after many years of marriage.

3) Wives respect their husbands. A woman wants emotional love but the way a man understands love is through respect. Make him feel like a man, like a king, don’t put him down or make him feel like you have no respect for him or what he does.

4) No corrupted words come out of your mouth, but those necessary for the edification of the listener. Speak words of encouragement to each other, speak that build up, not words that hurt or destroy.

5) Submit to each other, get rid of the mentality that I am better than you and you should submit to me. Learn to give and receive. Learn to compromise when you can’t agree on an issue.

6) Your body no longer belongs to you but to your spouse, so do not deny your partner sex, unless you are fasting or have a serious medical condition, in which case you should seek medical assistance. But remember that this does not mean that since your spouse’s body is yours, you can do what you want with it, always keep in mind the first rule that is to love each other and not hurt each other.

7) Forgive each other. Remember that you can make mistakes too, so forgive in the way you expect to be forgiven. Do not hold grudges and try not to go to bed angry, if possible resolve your disagreements the same day.

8) Be kind and gentle to one another. Correct each other gently, realizing that you too can make mistakes.

9) Enjoy life together, don’t enjoy life alone or with your friends, enjoy it with your spouse. Don’t take life seriously either, enjoy it, but enjoy it with your spouse. Have a good time together.

These are some simple rules for marriage found in the Bible. God commanded that if obeyed and applied to their daily married life, they will achieve happiness together.

Wishing your marriage the best.
