Ecclesiastes 4:9-12

Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up! Again, if two lie together, they keep warm, but how can one keep warm alone? And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him—a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

I was more careful when I was writing this piece,

I avoided telling you about my opinion,
I avoided using human example or experience,
I tried as much as possible to stay on the word of GOD.
I pray as you read this piece, you will be bless.

Body

I know you have so many question to ask concerning marriage...your marriage.

Only the Word of GOD has the answers to your questions.
The questions can only be answered by the creator of marriage.
so direct your questions to him.

2 Timothy 3:16
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness

GOD is available to answer all our questions...He knows all.

....We just need to stay connected to Him.

Revelation 22:13
I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. 

The weak, bad and strong foundation

Marriage is so interesting to some, while so boring to others,

What makes the different is the foundation,
The foundation we give to our marriage determine how far we will go.

Psalm 11:3
if the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?”

We make a lot of mistakes about marriage when me have the wrong notion for it.

A strong foundation is deep rooted in the word,
It finds it strength in the Word of GOD
·         Never get married because of your lust and for your own selfish reasons,
·         If the foundation is based on sexual life...it is a bad foundation.

Hebrews 13:4

Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral.

·         Marriage foundation is best when both of you are children of GOD.

Going into marriage with a person who is not a child of God,
is simply laying a weak foundation,
Remember

Amos 3:3

Can two people walk together without agreeing on the direction?

2 Corinthians 6:14

Don't team up with those who are unbelievers. How can righteousness be a partner with wickedness? How can light live with darkness?

Making God the founder of our marriage,

serves as a shock absorber during time of trials.
Because, all relationships have time of trials

1 Corinthians 10:13

The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure.

·         Seek GOD before starting.

If we never seek GOD before we start our relationship,
we are building on nothing.
We can spoil a gadget if we never consult the manual made by the manufacturer,
God is the manufacturer of marriage and the manual is the bible,
Until we seek him for guidance, we will be building our marriages on nothing.

Isaiah 55:6
Seek the LORD while you can find him. Call on him now while he is near.

If we read and meditate on the manual (bible) day in day out..success of our marriages is guaranteed.

Joshua 1:8
This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.

Troubleshooting

When we go against the methods for troubleshooting as explained by the manufacturer,

we tend to spoil the gadget.
Divorce is not the way out of a GOD giving marriage.
Remember

Malachi 2:16

"For I hate divorce!" says the LORD, the God of Israel. "To divorce your wife is to overwhelm her with cruelty," says the LORD of Heaven's Armies. "So guard your heart; do not be unfaithful to your wife."

Answers

All our questions about marriage cannot be answered by anyone,

Your answer is in the manufacturer manual (the bible),
Go back to the bible.
The bible will answer all the questions you are asking about your marriage,

Joshua 1:8

This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.

Good success in your marriage comes only from God.

John 3:27
John replied, "No one can receive anything unless God gives it from heaven.

Take your time to study and meditate,

The Holy spirit will give you the right interpretation.

John 14:26
But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.

Relief

I have not come to crucify you,

But to encourage you, and to tell you,
Your relationship/marriage can still work out,

Matthew 18:11
"For the Son of Man has come to save that which was lost.
Jesus Christ has redeem us from all our transgression

Galatians 3:13

But Christ has rescued us from the curse pronounced by the law. When he was hung on the cross, he took upon himself the curse for our wrongdoing. For it is written in the Scriptures, "Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree."

If we go back to the manufacturer,

If we read and meditate on the manual (Bible).
He will redeem us,

2 Chronicles 7:14

Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land.

He will restore all that we have lost.

Joel 2:25
The LORD says, "I will give you back what you lost to the swarming locusts, the hopping locusts, the stripping locusts, and the cutting locusts. It was I who sent this great destroying army against you.

Conclusion,

The main problem we have is actually because we don't have the manufacturer as our friend and father,

We are far away from him,

Matthew 15:8
These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.

all this principle cannot work if we don't have GOD as our friend and father,

You need to be  a child of GOD
You need to accept Jesus Christ as your personal LORD and Savior
If you already have..are you close or far away from GOD?
Remember GOD is interested in you and me

Matthew 11:28

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

Without the manufacturer (GOD),

without the understanding of the manufacturer manual (Bible),
We can't operate the manufacturer institution (marriage).
The solution to our marital challenges is not with anybody,
it is in the word of GOD.
