Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready (Rev 19:7). In this scripture, it is clearly telling us that the church is the bride who is getting ready for the marriage ceremony with the groom, Jesus Christ. As evidenced throughout the Bible, God holds marriage as a sacred union. That relationship between man and the church is ultimately the most significant of all. In the same way, God loves the earthly marriage between a man and his wife. But, do we really value our marriages today? Do we take the time to treat our spouses with the same love and attention we did when we were first married? For me, I am guilty of not doing my best.
I could remember a time when I would show affection and love in everything I did... in household tasks, in financial situations and especially towards my hubby. However, after 8 years of marriage, the romance has halted somewhat, and the affection a distant memory! But, through prayer, and spending time with God, He has taught me that I can do much better, instead of waiting for my husband to do things differently!
So, I started off to change MY ways in the home. I often tell my husband that he is no longer romantic and doesn't show love the way he used to, but then I recognised the change begins with me. So let us be the change as we seek to better ourselves in our marriages....
