God's Plan For a Healthy Marriage
By: Robert A. Searkes
Girls and young women, are you contemplating marriage in the foreseeable future? Does the gentleman who is presenting himself as a candidate and proposing to be your partner and husband for life meet all the requirements of your heavenly father? Does he love the LORD our God with all his heart, soul, and mind and have a genuine desire to serve him and others, and does he love his neighbor as himself ? If he cannot meet these requirements, he cannot truly say and promise that he loves you and will care for uou untli death do you part. Please be careful, he may just have the flesh on his mind.
Gentlemen, and young men, have you found that "jewel without price" so you think, and want more than anything for her to accept your proposal to join herself to you forever, does she meet the requirements of the virtious woman as described in Proverbs 31: 10 ?
Thus saith the LORD:
"Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge." Hebrews 13: 4
"Thou shalt not commit adultery." Exodus 20: 14
"Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery." Luke 16: 18
"And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him." Genesis 2:18
"Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh." Genesis 2: 24
"Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them." Colosians 3: 19
Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord." Colossians 3: 18
"For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body." Ephesians 5: 23
And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: 1 Corinthians 7: 10
"But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife." 1 Cointhians 7: 11
"Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee." Genesis 3: 16 "Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband. " Ephesians 5: 33
"Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God." Ephesians 5:21
