Marriage - Insurance or Assurance

Today's message is sort of a play on words. Insurance and Assurance, are they the same, or have we confused the two. Let's find out.

Typically, how you begin a marriage is usually how you will end up in your marriage. In other words, what goes around, will definitely come back around; either to haunt you, or bless you!

Insurance in the sense of the word is usually some sort of protection plan in the event that a thing may falter. We buy insurance on our houses, cars, and possessions to protect us in case of any type of lost. Insurance is a sort of guarantees that the item or thing will be replaced, or that you will be compensated for the same.

Unfortunately, some have approached marriage in a similar fashion. Treating it as though it were some kind of commodity rather than a life style. Many times, the insurance plan that some marriages take, if you will, are seamless and/or invisible and difficult to detect. Meaning that they have set up other options, just in case, if you know what I mean.(someone on the side). It is sadly enough a reality in some marriages today.

Let's look at the other side of the coin. Assurance is really the best and only way to enter into the marriage bond. It says that each party is confident and convinced that the person they have chosen to live out their lives with, is the one! With no other reservations, this marriage is assured that their unconditional love, perseverance, and their commitment to each other will stand the test and trials of life, as they endeavor to seal their marriage vows with the act of becoming One! Wow!. . . .Now that's Assurance!

Of course the scriptures: Hebrews 13:4 Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge. A marriage honored by God is always the way to go!

Let's close with this! Which plan did you pick for your marriage, Insurance, it's a plan that works, except for the consequences and the end results; and of course, there's always Assurance which is the plan that guarantees a Marriage God's Way.. . . Now that's a catchy phrase!

Why not stay Blessed!
