“It is not good for the man to live alone. I need to make a suitable partner for him,” Genesis 2:18. It’s a false assumption that marriage will fill a void in us. Many enter marriage with the idea that their needs will be fulfilled by the other person. That will lead to frustration, conflict, unfulfilled expectations and bitterness. A solid Christ centered marriage will be committed to meeting their spouse’s needs. “A wife should put her husband first, as she does the Lord,” Ephesians 5:22.

The relationship between husband and wife is a picture of the Trinity where there is equality of honor but distinction of function. Understanding and working out the truth is the basis for a successful marriage. A Christian marriage is intended to reveal something of God’s nature to a world that doesn’t understand sacrificial love. Let’s be honest; you will hurt each other because you are not yet perfected. You will have times you’re selfish, inconsiderate, irritable and not easy to get along with. Be quick to apologize and quick to forgive. “Don’t get so angry that you sin. Don’t go to bed angry and don’t give the devil a chance,” Ephesians 4:26. Being bitter against each other makes as much sense as hating your arm or leg. “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother.
