49 MAKE MARRIAGE A THREE-FOLD CORD—THE TWO OF YOU AND
GOD

What’s at the center of your marriage? The love you share? Your children? Money, homes and possessions? Your hopes, dreams and aspirations?

What?

Covenant marriage puts Jesus in the center. Without God at the center, your marriage will never become “one flesh.”

God keeps you together even when you don’t “feel in love.” God’s Spirit heals hurts and breaks bondages. God at the center of your marriage empowers you to live to your fullest potential both as a couple and as persons.

God is at the center of your marriage when you pray, study the Scriptures, seek His presence, worship, give, witness and live a holy life.

God is not at the center of your marriage when you ignore His Spirit as you make decisions, solve problems and live life your way instead of His.

Try this: Agree upon where you will worship together. Set aside time to pray together. Seek God’s presence as you read Scripture and fill the atmosphere of your home with worship.

And a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

Eccl. 4:12
