IT’S A TOGETHER TASK
Who is your marriage all about? Is it all about you? Many couples live together but are not bound together. They start off with love and passion but as the years go by their relationship gradually grows boring and stagnant.Why? I believe it's the "all about me" syndrome. What is my husband doing for me? How is my husband serving me? I have a right to be who I am and do my own thing. Soon the couple are living their own separate lives instead of being cemented together.
The very first marriage principle that God gave for marriage is oneness. Genesis 2:24 states that the married couple are to be "one flesh." We are not separate entities. We are one. We should think oneness. We should be yielded to one another to be "one flesh" as much as possible. We should be yielded to one another in one spirit, mind, and purpose to build our marriage and family.
Forget selfishness. It’s self-destructive. God has given us a mandate to build a family and establish His kingdom on earth TOGETHER! It’s a TOGETHER TASK! It needs the husband and the wife. The more we become one, the stronger we become. The more fragmented we become, the weaker we become.
May you be blessed as you build a “oneness” marriage,
Nancy Campbell
