Power of
marriage blog
I have married
many people and watched fathers, brothers and uncles walk their daughter sister
or niece down to isle to give them away to a man who is wondering how things
are going to be and in the second row is a beautifully dressed mother who is
looking on thinking "that girl cannot look after my son the way I know
how" wow that's a cocktail for disaster. The husband never leaves and the
wife is never given in marriage and yet these two people are supposed to live
together happily ever after. After 12 years of great marriage I have learnt a thing or two that will bless you.
Marriage is
supposed to be a powerful institution that is entered into by the two people
which makes them one. There is not enough room for extra luggage. The word
leave has strong undertones of "forsake, abandon make some distance
between..."
Please read
Genesis 2:22-25 and Genesis 3:16 and Hebrews 13:4 Proverbs 18:22
Here is a
powerful marriage key. Husband shall leave his mother and father and shall
cleave (pursue as his number one assignment) to his wife so he moves from that
which nurtured his early years to that which will nurture his destiny (his
wife) he finds a wife and is established in a good thing (covenant) and he
obtains favor from The Lord.
Her father who
is her mentor role model and icon raised the wife up and he walks her down the
isle and hands over this woman to a new father. She is to love serve and honor
him and make him greater than her first father. The principle of covering says,
"Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy
conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be
to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee. (Genesis 3:16)"
She operates
best under a covering but satan will deceive her into wanting to be the boss
and he is deceived to thinking he is great all by himself. There is a symbiotic
reaction that comes from husbands and wives working together which will unleash
great success wealth and influence.
Satan attacks
fathers so mothers and not fathers release those women and mothers never
release their sons so the marriage begins with disaster. Wisdom husband get out
from your mothers skirt and wife get under the covering of your father
(husband) work together towards a definite goal vision and purpose and see the
power of God work on your behalf.
I have
counselled some couples and discovered that they signed the papers, they paid
the bride prize they have even consummated their union with sexual intercourse
and yet they are as single as a monk in the mountains or a nun in the
monastery.
