God loves marriages, a phrase that we all hear often but i have never known so. So I began to reflect and study the bible. God made the woman to be the mans helper. After giving him dominion over all he created, he gave him someone to unwind with. Some may be thinking "well Eve led him to sin" hey water under the bridge lol. Anyway God saw Adam and Sarah live happily. Adam loving Sarah and Sarah loving, respecting and honouring him. With feminism today some women think. That having these triats is a sign of weakness. I believe respect is a two way string. If your partner respects you please return it. The Bible didn't tell us of Abraham treating Sarah badly.
Secondly, I was thinking, man and woman get married. Live a godly life, support each other, build a family and all help each other. If all Christian families lived like this, i think God would feel acomplished. Sincr ghe fall of man, God has been trying to find a way to lead all humans to salvation but we are always faced with challenges. If we can all put an effort into living godly lives.
Gender roles have changed recently and i was reading 1st Peter 3: 1-8 using amplified bible and the first verse talks of women being submissive to their husband as dependants. I couldnt help but think wow how do you argue this today where women are equals and some are bread winners? I don't know what to say here but moving on. Verse 7 goes on to tell the men to live considerately with their wives acknowledging them as the weaker vessel. So weaker vessels eh, no offence to ladies but how is it that once married women are expected to do all the chores and errands? Back to reflecting.
I have tried to keep my personal life away from this blog but my husband has been a support. We do chores together and we enjoy it because we talk and have a laugh whilst cleaning, cooking or doing the laundry. Just to show in this day and age. My final conclusion is that God loves marriage because he want to see teo people from different backgrounds come together and face worlds challenges together. Holding each other when one is down or weak and achieving their bests together not to talk of raising beautiful kids that we can teach about God. Till we meet again go and do right. Remain blessed.
