Hebrews 13:5 tells us that we are to HONOR marriage. It is God who designed marriage and therefore we must not treat it lightly or take it for granted. And we dare not defile the sacred marriage bed.
The word, honor, means "to esteem, to regard as valuable, beloved, and precious." It is the same word that is used when talking about the "precious blood of Christ" (1 Peter 1:19) and the "precious promises" (1 Peter 1:4).
And yet how easy it is for take it for granted or to even talk degradingly about our marriage. May God give us a new vision to see the honor God has put upon it and to do everything in our power to make our marriage a testimony of honor.
