A Walk with God in Marriage



The segment today teaches us about walking with God through our journey in marriage.

Many people however, never relate God and Marriage outside of the normal ceremony that involves a preacher, priest, rabbi, or etc.; but the truth of the matter is marriage really is all about God!I’m sure there are some eyebrows raised with that statement!
Trust me, it’s really true. The whole concept of marriage comes from God.

Genesis 2:18 And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. Repeatedly, the Bible refers to the God and the church relating it to a marriage: Ephesians 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it. All because God intended for your marriages to be Holy, sanctified, pure, through prayer.

Even in Paul’s instruction to the Corinthian church referencing the unequally yoked. (meaning, one may believe and the other does not) 1 Corinthians 7:14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.
You see, these scriptures are all relevant to marriage. Now don’t you think after so many references, that your journey through marriage should be also a walk with God?
Meditate on this: Hebrews 1:9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. What does it mean?. . . .When you walk with God in your marriages, you are given something extra, “an anointing”. . . .the ability to work through difficulties, crisis, or any such thing that would challenge your relationship., An anointing is an advantage given to you by God to be victorious in every aspect of your life and your marriages. Praise God!

I urge you today, look into the perfect law of liberty, (the Word of God) it will bless you, your children, your family, and most of all, your marriages.
Walk with God in your marriages, besides, He’s already walked with you!

I just know that you are Blessed!
