The Sucess of Marriage!

In today's segment, we discover the real barometers of sucess in your marriages.

Even in today's society, most people are placed in catagories based on their material possessions. How far off the mark you are.
In marriages, it's the same. The four bedroom house, two car garage, swiming pool, and the works.
Well, the truth of the matter is this: many marriages today have all that and more and yet there is still unhappiness, no fulfillment, and most of all no love. What does that tell you?
Have we used the wrong measurements to fulfill our life's dream?
Let's look at the Holy scriptures, it might surprise you: Luke 12:15 And said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. . . .as you can see, we have compared the wrong things to the sucess of marriage.

My dear friends, one thing is certain; real marriage cannot be mimicked, it must posess real substance. Other wise, you end up like everyone else, after the thrill is gone, you seek for something different.
As hard as it may sound, it's a fact. The sucess of your marriages depends soley on how well we adhere to God's outline for marriages. Whether you accept it or not, truth is the only thing that brings sucess; (lasting sucess that is). Just look at the results and you'll see what I mean.

How can two be joined together for 5, 10, 15 years, and sometimes longer, and then just fall out of love? There's definately something wrong with that picture.

In every aspect of life, there will be challenges. Some more difficult than others, but the endurance factor is based on the founded essence of your relationship. In other words: what was it based on? Just tradition, lust, convenience,circumstance,greed, coveteousness, or was it based on what God has established in His Holy Word. Is your marriage sucessful because you have a new car, a little money in the bank, new home? No my friends, those are all the wrong reasons.
Don't get me wrong, I believe that everyone should pursue the finest material things of life too, but it should never be a substitute for sucess in your marital relationship.

Case and point: the sucess of your marriages stems out of your convenant relationship, which is your life-time comittment that you made before God and friends, family, etc. It's when your marriage can stand up against the test and challenges of life and still produce the same passion and comittment and love from inception. Why not take retrospect of your own relationship. The answers are as clear as the heavens.
A pretty car with all the trimmings and has no battery is "Worthless". . . as a marriagge without it's real sucess. . . .think about it!

Have a wonderful day....and always remember : You are Blessed!
