Two's Company, but Three's a Crowd
In the beginning, after the Lord had made the heavens and the earth, he made man and woman. It was God who had joined Adam and Eve together and they two became one flesh, says Genesis Chapter 2. Does that give you a hint?
Unfortunately, in this in-time society, almost anything goes. A wife at home, girlfriend on the job, and who knows what else. But from the beginning it was not so. Marriage was an intervention approved and sanctioned by God. Therefore what God has joined together, let no man put asunder, Matthew 19:6. Need a reason to stay married?, there's one.
Marriages however can get stale and uneventful only because we have not allowed God to join us together. Instead, we look outside of our marriages for comfort, attention, and many times even sex. This practice can only lead to the destruction of our marriage and the devastation of one's heart. Trust me, three is a crowd!
The Bible gives us a clear outline of the structure of marriage to ensure that disinterest and boredom does not slip in . scipture says that we should in Ephesians 5:21 first: submit ourselves one to the other in the fear of God, ( that's key) Verses 22 thru 33 tells us exactly how to do it. If we follow God's principles for our marriages, there will be no room nor a need for "the crowd". ( a third person - be it male or female).
Please don't just take my word for it. . . .search the scriptures for yourself. You'll find out that God has answers for every issue of life. Now shut the door on the crowd, reach to each other for your fulfilment. You're gonna love it!
As a matter of fact, can I let you in on a little secret?. . . .it was there all the time!
