What is marriage?
Marriage can be said to be a sacred - most often legal - union between two parties of the opposite sex (man and woman). The Advanced Oxford Learner´s Dictionary defines marriage as ´´the legal It went a step further however,to acknowledge that marriage could be In
relationship between a husband and wife´´.
other words,marriage could be successful or not,depending on the foundation and implementation of the institution called marriage. (Psalm 11:3) ´´If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?´´ From the bible scripture above,one could easily see that God,just as much as secular humans totally agree that the success of anything,including marriage,depends largely on its foundation! A marriage with a faulty foundation, just like a house built on a faulty foundation, would only serve an exciting experiment based on the study of ´ultimate collapse´ or at best a sobering mis-adventure! The product of such an experiment or adventure could never - except by the devine intervention of the almighty Jehovah - be fulfilling or satisfactory. For marriage to be built on a good foundation,it has to be one built around two God-fearing individuals. It is important to be both God-fearing because a situation where the individual principles of marriage between both parties differ would definitely get the marriage stuck in a deadlock. (Amos 3:3) ´´Can two walk together, except they be agreed?´´. The afore quoted bible verse says it all; in a marriage,the couple can never succeed unless they walk together. And to walk together,they have to agree. It is worthy to note here that marriage,as prescribed by God is to last a lifetime once contracted,except on grounds of infidelity. Let us explore some of the reasons a marriage could be said to have a faulty foundation and disagrement.
´´happy or unhappy´´.
