You take the high road. . .and I'll take the low road. . .

Now what's wrong with that picture?

Many marriages today have take that same mind set of: "you take the high road and I'll take the low road".

In today's segment, we will address this concept which is by the way, contrary to God's Word!

I need not remind you of the scripture: Ecclesiastes 4:9 Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. It's so easy to just keep on living your life as though you were never married, but what does the Lord say about that! What you vowed at the altar says that you would be no more twain but "one flesh". Don't you realize that you are accountable for the words that come out of your mouth? It was "words" that actually shaped this universe, words that brought everything that is into existence. Jesus' words were spirit and life, and your words are life-changing as well. Proverbs 6:2 Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.

Even in today's fast pace society where both the husband and wife must pursue their lively hoods, there should still be a oneness of mind, body, and spirit between the two. The down-fall or the success of your marriage depends solely on the actions you take after the vow!

The strength and hope of your marriages hang on this one principle. . . . . oneness!

When you operate as separate entities, you are sending a message to each other that there is a lack of trust.

Get angry with me if you so choose, but the real fact is: you should have nothing that you cannot share with each other. No secrets, no special bank account, and especially no private agenda.

You are one in the site of God, and you should display that oneness among yourselves.

Amos 3:3 Can two walk together, except they be agreed? Now if the Word of God can clearly see this simple concept, why can't we?

Don't get me wrong, I do understand that having different schedules does make it rather difficult to sometimes physically be together, but it is not a substitute for oneness.

It is in this context that we write today, with the intent that we might destroy that leaven of Satan. Here's a little nugget for you: when you and your spouse practice to become inseparable in your marriage, not necessarily physically, but in mind and in heart, you have then destroyed a strategy of Satan.

Think about it as common sense. Any time you destroy an enemy, your forces become stronger! It in fact gives you some what of an advantage and allows you to better overthrow your enemy. Wow!! that is so powerful, I sure hope you can see that! At any rate, your success and victory for your marriages all rely upon your ability to work at becoming "one".

Jesus said: John 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. I say to you, if you really love each other, you will become one.

Well, why not chew on that today in your thoughts; while I'm praying that you'll have a wonderful and prosperous day. . . . and always remember. . . .

You are Blessed!
