LET YOUR MARRIAGE BE A BLESSING

Everything God created was good

Every institution he established including marriage is equally good. When God made man, he asked them to be fruitful and multiply. Everything God created was to be a blessing and marriage is no exception.

Some people think marriage is simply about they and their spouses. They think its about what both them of can give each other. They have entirely forgotten about the world around them.
We live in a world where so much wrong is happening each day. We live in a world where a little kindness from us each day will make a whole world of difference. Acts 20:35 reminds us that its more blessed to give than to receive. Think for a moment how has your marriage been a blessing to those around you, your family and your friends. We often take things like this for granted because we feel it doesn't matter. For some people the moment they got married, they have brought pain, stress, and worry to those around them. The only time people around them get to hear from them is when they are fighting or have one challenge or the other. That should not be.
If the bible says 1 shall chase a thousand while 2 shall chase ten thousand, it simply means the coming together of you and your spouse creates a powerful synergy. It more blessed to give. It doesn't not have to be money. It could be your time, or your energy...
Whatever it is, find a way each day your marriage can be a blessing to the world around you. I have seem couples who isolated themselves and had the mentality of "me & our children" they were not interested in helping out other, or welcoming people to their homes...what happened... As time went by people began to avoid them, they became lonely in their own world and by the time they realised it, it was late.
Wives be a blessing to your in-laws, husbands appreciate your wives family. Don't push people away! Don't mice what God has given you! Join heads with ur husband, find out what you can do to help someone around you in need
Before you get married, make sure you are dealing with a giver. There are people who have forbidden their spouses from giving. They get angry each time their partner reaches out to help people. Such people hinder the flow of God's blessing in your direction. If he or she cannot give from the little they have even as a single, it wont be any different once married.
Remember that the principle of God works on the "give first before you receive principle..." We have heard stories of barren women whose womb opened up after they took in other people's children. It could be as little as consistently giving another family or a group of people a drive to church every Sunday. Open up your heart to the holy spirit today, let him show you and your spouse how your marriage can be a blessing today!
The most successful homes and marriages today have a track record of being a blessing. Whatever God has given you is not for you and your children alone.
