What is God’s role in a Christian Marriage

I posted this question on one of the forums to see what the public thought. The responses I received reflect the incredulity of many about God's involvement within marriage. Many believe God doesn’t care about marriages. I held this thought in my heart until my husband talked about the role God played in the church. God is always with us, and this I am certain. HE is concerned for our marriages. Find out how God can save your marriage by reading on.

1. God is the author and creator of marriage.

God was the one that decided it was not right for man to be on his own. God chose Adam the right partner. That was the very first marriage God ordained. The Bible also teaches that marriage can be separated only if God has joined them together. This means God doesn't support divorce. HE has ordained for marriages to last a lifetime. This also means God will be able to save your marriage.

2. God meets our deepest need for Him so that we are able to love our partners.

God has made eternity a part of the human heart. He made us long for eternality. God can satisfy this longing. It is impossible for our partner or family member to fulfill our deepest need for God. The only way to satisfy our desire for security and unconditional love is through the author of that love. If we try and get them all from our partners, it will only result in disappointment. If we insist, our partners may burn out. While our partners might not love us, it isn't because they don't care about us. He can give the security, peace and security that only God can offer. Like trees planted by the streams, we will find our security in Him. Instead of draining our spouse's energy, we can find our security in Him and make positive contributions to the marriage. You can save your marriage if God is your security.

3. God is our model and example of true love.

Our parents are the most powerful trainers and best models of how to love our partner. However, regardless of how well-meaning our parents might be, they will eventually fail to model true love. This can cause unhealthy habits in marriage. God is the only One who can live out true love perfectly. Jesus is asking husbands to love wives as He loved His church.

4. God leads us through His Word to show us how we should live, and how to be good wives.

God has given us specific guidelines regarding the dynamics of marriage. Wives are to be submissive to their husbands, just like the Lord. Husbands are to love the wife just as Christ loved his church Matrimonial Sites.

God's word teaches us that we can save our marriages by following His guidelines for leadership in His church.

5. God sends us counselors.

God orchestrates all things for the benefit of those who love him. God has shown me the power of His grace through my marriage and by sending Godly mentors to my husband and I. I had a great counselor at my disposal. This is also something that I see in Christian couples. Sometimes we think we find these wonderful people by accident. These are not accidental. They are blessings by God. They are part God's plan to save you marriage.

6. God is sovereign in our marriage.

God is our life. God is the source of our every breath. God holds everything in his hand. The same way that God holds the universe, He keeps our marriages in good condition. Although there are many things we cannot change, God can provide support and help. If we do His will, He will provide the means to nourish and delight our marriage.
