*TOPIC: CHRISTIAN HOME: PILLARS THAT SUSTAIN MARRIAGES*(Series 2)
*Scripture Reading:* 1 Corinthians 13:1-10, Ephesians 5:25
Yesterday, we started looking at our homes as christian, the pillars that contribute to the effectiveness of our Marriages. And the first pillar we looked at is JESUS. If our marriage is not standing on this rock, definitely it will collapse so quickly. *When we talk of fulfilling destiny and aligning to God's will, No marriage can work without Jesus.* The second pillar is:
*2) Love:* When asked, “Do you love your husband/wife?,” the answer should be based on actions toward one’s husband or wife. *If the answer is, “yes, I love my husband/wife,” then one should be saying, “I am giving myself to him/her.*
1Corinthians 13 defines love for us. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. *The summary of this definition of love is simply GIVING YOURSELF TO ONE ANOTHER.*
In describing love to husbands, Paul explains in Ephesians 5:25 that love is about giving, not feeling. *"Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her".* This is the kind of love Jesus demonstrated that should be established in our marriages. When our homes is based on this fact, NO STORM WHATSOEVER THAT CAN SEPARATE THAT HOME for this is the will of God that we should love one another just as Christ loved the church and gave Himself for it.
NOTE: *If husband love his wife, he will tolerate her, correct in love and stay no matter what happens. And also, if wife love her husband, she will be totally submissive to him. Not minding his status or character.* To be continue tomorrow morning by God's Grace. Good morning and do happy Sunday, peace.
*Prayer point:* I put an end to pretends in our home today, help me to love my husband/wife and to give myself totally to our vow in Jesus Christ name. Amen!
