Marriage-a sacred covenant.

This week Pst Tan continued to share about the series of romance and marriage. Man was originally meant to have both the characteristics of woman and man initially before eve was formed; before the side was removed out of Adam to found a woman. Before Eve was formed out of Adam’s side, he was totally self sufficient. He has both the woman’s and the man’s characteristic.

When a man and a woman come together in a marriage, they become one. Not just sexually, but also in one spirit. Why did God choose to take the rib out of Adam that he needs Eve in order to become whole again. The reason is because oneness no longer comes naturally but it comes by choice.

Making marriage comes by a choice. Bible says do not let not anyone separate what God has brought together. The reason why a marriage is sacred it’s because when a man and a woman are together in a marriage and a covenant, the will of the Lord exist. This is clearly explained using the Hebrew characters of man and woman, in which if you combine the two you get “Yah” which means “The will of the Lord in the land of the living”. Satan seeks to destroy marriages because the will of God lies within a married couple when they are of one spirit and one mind; and there is powerful in agreement when both agreed together.

Some out of temporal pleasure and satisfaction decides to walk into an affair unknowingly. It didn’t start out with the “Let’s start an affair”, most identified that they do not know why they have ended up this way. I will account that to the individual needs not met. When the needs go unmet, together with the failure to care and protect the marriage, it then becomes vulnerable to temptation. Some gave in to the temptation and forsook the responsibility that one has.

Personal view: If you know that he/she is already married, and their marriage is already seemingly not doing very well, why would you want to come in between and add salt to the wound? Our temporal pleasure or comfort can be happiness to the ones enjoying it but pain to the ones not. Trust lost takes a lot to be won back.

A marriage means there is exclusive rights given to the special someone to meet the need. Nobody else. :)
