So I rant....
Remember “two together become one” ... 2 individual loves, joined together in the love of God, becoming a love perfected .... and more....”where 2 are gathered in My name, there I am also” ... Christ manifested in this earth, in the context of marriage and family, His glory exhibited for all of heaven, hell and earth to see, wonder and be amazed. Who can guess or even comprehend the magnificence of the living God present in this world thru that holy covenant first enacted and exampled by God Himself! O, The power! The glory! The majestic exhibit of His eternal love! Who can wait for that day when The Groom comes for His bride?!?!?
O, to live that life in this world with one who loves as He loves! On this side of eternity there is nothing better :)
AND MORE! “2 cords joined be strong, but who shall break a cord of 3?” Be found where Where He is, who shall contend and triumph? NONE! He is the King of glory, mighty and triumphant. No death or anything short of it shall prevail! Be found where He is and you will be found in eternal life now and in this present. Be bold and courageous, He is with and for that covenant of love we call marriage. Who knows the devastation He intends for that kingdom of hell? Will your marriage be that weapon?
Go with God and set your heart and eyes on all that He has for you and your marriage. He is changing the world and using you to do it. 🤩
When in the quest of a marriage partner, it’s not a question of who is the compatible mate, do we get along, are they the right fit or “the one”, the question is, “do I believe that marriage is a relationship designed by God?”
When I believe that marriage is Godspeak rather that a legality, then I am at the threshold of marriage. When I recognize that it is God Who orchestrates true marriage, then I am understanding that marriage is before God and of God, not of men and women. I recognize that “marrying God” is the first true step of marriage on earth. God is the first true love and without Him there is no love. (1 John 4:8)
When that potential mate, that “true love”, appears on the horizon, the exact same conversation and vision applies to that person. “Does that person believe that marriage is a relationship designed by God?”
At this point, a third party is recommended, (I would say required), to ask the hard questions, to drill into the core of each person to get at the truth of their being. If they do not positively answer the question as to the author and owner of marriage, that relationship is not ready for a true marriage. One or both do not truly love. Marriage should not be an option. If a marriage starts on any other footing than God, it will be a hard journey. It not hopeless, but it will be painful. The breaking of true marriage (one before and of God), is the same as breaking relationship with God individually and collectively.
In summary, before you marry, make sure that you and your potential mate are married to God and in full agreement that marriage is Godspeak, not a legality. There are no guarantees, but it’s my opinion (and I believe it’s God’s desire and promise) that a marriage of individuals submitted to God’s everlasting authority and love over them individually places God in that same authority and love over their marriage and the fruit of it. That marriage cannot fail.....a cord of 3.
Frank Laubach 1931: Letters by a Modern Mystic
“God is the maker of all true marriages, and He gives His highest joy to a man and wife who share their love for each other with Him, who pray inwardly each for the other when they are together looking into one another’s eyes. Married love becomes infinitely more wonderful when Christ is the bond every minute and it grows sweeter as the years go by to the very last day.”
