Wisdom For Troubled Marriage

Concerning your desire for wisdom for your marriage, there are several scriptures from which we can draw wisdom principles. When the Apostle Paul wrote to the church concerning marriage and divorce, it is quite clear that God's desire is for marriage to be a wonderful, pleasurable experience.

Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge. Hebrews 13:4 But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away. And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him. 1 Corinthians 7:12 It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery. Matthew 5:31-32 The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause? And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Matthew 19:3-9

Careful reading of the scriptures shows that God wants husbands and wives to work together to build a mutually fulfilling relationship. Both husbands and wives should give mutual love and respect to each other at all times. Husbands should be loving and not domineering; headship is not the position of a bully, but an example. The Bible does not teach that the wife should be in submission to a physically or emotionally abusive situation as some teach. When husbands and wives learn to activate the power of agreement, good things will happen.

I am praying for the wisdom of God to manifest in your life for your marriage so that your finances increase, your peace increases, and, of course, your family grows together in the spirit of unconditional love. You know that in one letter I cannot fully explain all there is to know about improving your marriage. How I wish that I could sit with you and your spouse to explain the wisdom for living a happy life!
