The fairy stories and romances always end with the bright and rosy picture of a future filled with happiness and bliss. In fact, they always end where life really begins — at the marriage ceremony. Why is it that today about half of the marriages end in divorce? Obviously, they did not live happily ever after. Some didn’t make it through the honeymoon.
Many books are being written to try and mend the fences of wedlock. Most of them put down certain rules and regulations to make marriage a success. This has opened up a new field for the church to enter. Heretofore it was taboo. “Sex” was a dirty word. Now it is the main topic of conversation, sermons, and seminars in the church. The more explicit, the better the books will sell to the saints.
The problem is not marriage or sex. Divorce is not the way out. The problem is that people are getting married who are not prepared for a relationship that God alone can bless. The correction should be made before marriage, not afterward. It takes a right kind of man and a right kind of woman to have a happy marriage. God promised a happy marriage to His children who are the right kind of believers.
Only a Spirit-filled man can be the head of his home. Only a Spirit-filled woman can respond to a Spirit-filled man. Anything less ensures a rough voyage over the sea of matrimony.
This old bromide is still accurate: An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
