The devil is hostile to husband and wife becoming one. Since marriage is the basic building block of God’s program, when we allow Satan to attack our marriages, we are letting him attack God’s program at its’ very root.

From a spiritual perspective, one of the most important choices that anyone can make, after accepting Jesus Christ Savior, is that of a Christian spouse. Marriage is the most important and most intimate relationship that we can have, because it is the relationship, above all others, in which we can practice Jesus’ command to love.

A man and his wife are co-heirs of grace, because once we receive the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, we cannot hold it in a vacuum. And marriage is the laboratory in which the Lord Jesus Christ commands us to display this love.

We can only pass God’s test by implementing wisdom in our lives, disciplining our desires to listen to the rebukes of life, fear God, and keep His commandments. We have to modify our propensity to act on our desires and rather comply with God’s commands. When we do so, we become wise.

We are preparing for another life in heaven after this life on earth, and that our dominion will not end on Planet Earth, but will carry on to our eternal life if we conform ourselves to the Plan of the Lord Jesus Christ and use our earthly experiences to learn the principles that the Lord teaches us in His Word. But if we don’t learn to love here, we can forget about dominion over there.

Neither education, nor riches, nor fame will equip us for heaven, but we will only be equipped for heaven if we have the ability to act lovingly, especially in our primary human relationship, which is, marriage.

Choose to marry a mature person with whom you share a value system, and the two of you should not have “conflict” with one another. The idea of marriage is not to learn to fight well; the idea is to choose someone with whom a fight will be unnecessary.

Sex and childbearing outside of wedlock is the wicked way. Those that reject this teaching lack humility because think that they know better than God. But children are a blessing to our lives when we have them within the will and plan of God.
