DSC Marriage

What is marriage?

What is my role as  the wife?        What is my role as the husband?

Marriage is a union between three people.

Marriage is a union or relationship between three persons: MAN,WOMAN and GOD. This is so because marriage is honorable to God, and the very moment you and your partner say "I DO" and make that vow to love each other for better and worse is the moment you get God involved. It is holy matrimony or wedlock that is legally recognized. Marriage is work; it is a duty and a task. I say this because you don't just get married and don't work on your marriage. Every institution calls for several attributes for work that should be employed by the workers in the organization. Some of these attributes include determination, persistence, flexibility, and communication. 

Marriage is not a one-sided thing. Both people in this organization have to work together to meet the goals of having a long and lasting union. Whatsoever you sow, that shall he also reap (Galatians 6:7). If you instill good attributes in your relationship, it will blossom in goodness. Be on one accord; love each other and expect love in return; be kind to each other and expect kindness. Never put bad things into your relationship and expect good things to come out of it. Just like your workplace, your union has a hierarchy, and each person at work has their own duties. GOD-HUSBAND-WIFE. God is the boss, and his role is to bless your marriage, forgive you, lead and direct you, and help you and your partner have a long and lasting relationship. To allow God to do this, you must both put him at the center of everything and allow his Holy Spirit to guide you.

 The husband is the head (Ephesians 5:23), and his role is almost the same as the wife's, but he takes the lead. I always recommend husbands apply the democratic style of leadership in their marriage. This is because it encourages teamwork and togetherness. Although the husband is expected to lead the family, he must do so in love, without being harsh or controlling. The wife should be the husband's crown (Proverbs 12:4). Her role is to submit to her husband (Ephesians 5:22–23). The wife is also required to love her husband, care for him, and respect him. Every wife may show care and love for their husband in different ways, eg. I show love to my  husband by doing his laundry, cooking for him, maintaining a clean house,listening to him, finding out what he would love me to do, and doing it. It is up to the wife to show love and care for her husband in her own way. The roles of both partners include providing, loving, caring, forgiving, being honest, and praying.

Love Each Other

If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast,but do not have love, I gain nothing. 4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears.
