Marriage on the Rocks?


Typically, marriage of the rocks refers to a relationship dealing with an alcohol problem, and rightly so, if this is present in your situation. However, in today's segment, marriage on the rocks means a little more.

Allow me to explain. A rock alone is classified as a hard substance or thing. Rocks however, in our marriage relationship could mean that very thing, even a hard place.

Many times we allow our marriages to get to the point of "a hard place". By that I mean the things we allow to creep into our relationships that causes our oneness to become difficult to exist together. ( key word, together)Marriage on the rocks is the perfect example of those who have not applied God's principles to their marriage. Infidelity, lack of communication, lack of prayer, lack of time, procrastination, bad habits, neglect, and many many more things that cause our marriages to become almost unbearable.
Sad isn't it? When marriage is designed to be one of the heights of your life.
In the book James, chapter 4, 17th verse: Therefore, to him that knoweth to do good and doeth it not, to him, it is sin. One will say: why is that significant? Here's why: your future and the well-being, the growth, and happiness of your marriage solely depends on your decisions, to do the right thing. How do you know what the right thing is? It's all found written in a book. It's called the Bible. From Genesis to Revelation, it's all there. The issues of life, the instruction of life, the deliverance for a people, the salvation for the soul, and the choice of destiny. Wow!
Here's the thought: Take heed to yourselves. . . Deuteronomy 11:16.....do whatever it is that you think is for you, but remember, God shall bring every work into judgment, every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil. Ecclesiastes 12:14. So you be the judge. . . .is your marriage on the rocks? if it is, you can change it today. . . .if you listen to the voice of God! Every crooked path shall be made straight. . .Isaiah 40:4;. . . . . . and I know you're gonna be Blessed!
