Death, Burial, and Ressurection

Well, if you're thinking , what in the world does death, burial, and Resurrection have to do with marriage; or perhaps you might be saying: religion is alright, but how does this play a role in to the problems I face day to day in my marriage. Simply this! Contrary to what you may think, Marriage is a spiritual thing! Even from the beginning of time, marriage was designed actually to mirror the church. Don't be shocked, it's true.

The death, burial, and Resurrection of Christ was designed to re-instate mankind to his/her rightful place in God; this is called: "the church". Marriage as well, is a testimony to humanity to bring back to it's conciseness ( brotherhood).

Allow me explain: In the book of Genesis, chapter 11, the bible says that man wanted to build a tower to heaven, and at that time they all had only one language. The key word is One!., so the Lord said: let us go and confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech: Genesis 11:7. Thus is the beginning of the various languages of the world. And the Lord scattered them over the face of the earth: Genesis 11:8. You see God never intended for us to really be a separate people. Now we see the different nationalities and cultures of this world. Nevertheless we are still all God's children.

So where does marriage fit into this puzzle? Through the word of God, we are taught that even though we are different in race, color, creed, and nationality, we are all of one body. (There's that word again, One!). In marriage, it's "no more twain (or two) but one!

Now here's the breakdown, death is symbolic to a man or woman dying to themselves to take on a partner,the burial is releasing of the ties of parents and lifestyle to take on another lifestyle called marriage. The resurrection is the outward confession ( the marriage ceremony) to the world and the declaration that you are the new person ( now Mr. & Mrs.) .Seems a bit complicated?, well it's not. In fact, unless this process takes place in our marriages from the beginning, we loose the ability to even deal with life's day to day events.,

So here's the message: make up in your mind that you want a loving , caring, productive, and prosperous marriage. . . .a real marriage. . .in fact a marriage God's Way! It'll change your thinking!

Always be Blessed!
