One of the ways a man or woman could “swear to his or her own hurt” (Psalms 15:1-4) is by saying “Yes, I do” to the “wrong” spouse. Yes, it is possible to get married to the very wrong person! Yes, there are many who are already married not to the spouse “meet” (right, fitting) …
MARRIED MAN & WOMAN
In Ephesians 5:28-29, the Bible says, “So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. 29. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church.” (KJV). The spiritual and emotional chemistry of marriage projects a …
I have long discovered that IGNORANCE is at the root of why most married people make a mess of the otherwise honourable estate that marriage truly is. Yes, even many of God’s people in marriage aren’t excusable from this messy lot! [Hosea 4:6]. Sadly, most married ones do not really have a correct knowledge of …
In Prov. 31:10, the Bible declares, “Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.” [KJV] From this verse to the end of the chapter 31 of the Book of Proverbs, the Bible gives us a dossier on the qualities and worth of a virtuous woman and wife. What a woman …

I find it compelling to share with you herein a few profitable lessons from a certain married woman in a town called Shunem with whom Elisha the man of God …
“Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.” [Matt. 19:6] In any “red-lettered” Bible version, we would see that the above is a direct word from the mouth of the Lord Jesus Christ. This is talking about the bond of marriage. Heaven’s design …
A “BROKEN HEART” IS VERY IMPORTANT IN MARRIAGE. “Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom.” (Proverbs 13:10) “By humility and the fear of the LORD are riches, and honour, and life.” (Proverbs 22:4) A lot of marriages have suffered and many are presently suffering all kinds of avoidable …
Every wise builder of a house goes for rock-solidness when it comes to the nature of the foundation upon which to build. It will be folly and highly suicidal to build upon sand. Surprisingly, not a few yet opt for this sort of faulty foundation! No wonder the many collapsed building, often with great loss …
Marriage is a relationship that is based on covenant. Every covenant is based on terms and conditions. Marriage covenant is not an exemption here. Christian marriage is one that is based on scripture-rooted codes usually prepared as “Profession of Vows and Covenant” which are usually deposed to on the wedding day. Even for those who …
