Important Questions to ask about marriage (Ques. 1)

Why did you (or should you) choose to get married?

It is important to remember that marriage is one of the most important decisions you will ever make. It is a decision that should last for your lifetime. You need to remember that God brought you together and that it is God’s anointing on your marriage that will allow you to keep a good and healthy perspective about your marriage and keep you committed to the marriage.

In Genesis 2:20-24 God says it is not good for Adam to be alone, so He created a “partner” for Adam. Marriage is a partnership. It is important for you to see your marriage as a partnership and for the two of you to communicate and work well together. A question you might regularly ask is: Is our marriage a good partnership? If not, then ask: How can we make it a better partnership? In both Genesis 2:24 and Ephesians 5:31 God says that marriage is two becoming one.

Marriage is the coming together of two people learning how to become one. This is not always an easy or smooth transition. It takes communication, support, compromise, commitment, and an understanding of the other person. It is a journey that should be enjoyed and worked on regularly. But as it happens, you will see that “two are better than one” (see Ecclesiastes 4:9-12) and that your spouse is a great blessing for you.
