rules of marriage



FIVE RULES OF MARRIAGE

Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. Matthew 19:6


I’ll use Ruth’s statement to Naomi to explain what becoming one in marriage means. Read this verse again and again.
But Ruth said: "Entreat me not to leave you, Or to turn back from following after you; For wherever you go, I will go; And wherever you lodge, I will lodge; Your people shall be my people, And your God, my God. Where you die, I will die, And there will I be buried. The LORD do so to me, and more also, If anything but death parts you and me."
When she saw that she was determined to go with her, she stopped speaking to her. Ruth 1:16-18

1.      When you are married to a man, you must follow him wherever he goes: most women who leave their husband and live in a distant city are breaking the rules of marriage and are putting their marriage at risk. When your husband is working in a distant city from where you are working, don’t leave him alone, join him wherever he goes, even when it needs leaving your job. Marriages have broken because the man and his wife weren’t together all the time.
2.      Lodge where he lodges: if your father’s house is more comfortable than your husband’s place, don’t leave your husband’s place for it neither should you have a separate room from that of your husband; share the same room. Your marriage is at risk when you have a separate room from his.
3.      See his people as yours: when you get married, you didn’t just marry the man, you marry all of his people. See his parents and siblings and relatives as yours and treat them just the way you treat yours. Even when your husband doesn’t relate well with his family, don’t join him, make his people yours. Those that separate themselves from their husband’s people are breaking the rules of married and may lose it.
4.      Accept his faith: when you join a man, you’ve accepted his doctrines and faith. Don’t have a different church from his, if he doesn’t join your church, join his. Never have a separate church from that of your husband. If you can’t go to his church don’t marry him. The devil finds loophole in marriages where the couples are of separate faith or church. Never marry someone of different faith with yours.
5.      Decide no divorce but only death would do you part: when you don’t make resolution to remain in your marriage whether good or bad, you won’t last in it. Decide and be determined that it’s only death that would do you part. When your marriage has a problem, don’t seek for divorce as a means of finding a solution, face the problem with all you’ve got and solve it.

In every successful married you see, it’s the decision of the spouse to make it work that sustains it.
You are not ready for marriage if you are not ready to keep to these rules.

God bless you.
