Making marriage blissful.

 

Marital bliss is the will of God for his people but the question remains, What can a married couple do to ensure that their marriage will be blissful ? Its important to state here that the first and most important issue is obedience to God and His Word. This is a principle that should be in force before the marriage begins. God says, “Do two walk together unless they have agreed to do so?” (Amos 3:3). For the born-again believer, this means not beginning a close relationship with anyone who is not also a believer. “Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?” (2 Corinthians 6:14). Ignoring these basics is admitting a lot of marital challenges, heartache and suffering later in marriages. 

The second principle is that the husband should obey God and love, honor, and protect his wife as he would his own body Ephesians 5:25-31). The corresponding principle is that the wife should obey God and submit to her own husband “as to the Lord” (Ephesians 5:22). The fact is that the  marriage between a man and his wife is a picture of the relationship between Christ and the church. Christ gave Himself for the church, and He loves, honors, and protects her as His “bride” purchased with his precious blood.

The third principle is spending quality time together; echoing and reechoing, “I love you” often; being kind; demonstrating love ; going on dates; writing love and appreciation notes to each other often ; giving gifts; and expressing readiness to forgive are proven pillars in marriage.

A couple who desires marital bliss must learn how to manage their problem possibly without the third party unless otherwise .  I trust that with your determination and the help of the Lord your marriage will enjoy meaningful bliss.
