He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favour from the Lord.
Proverb 18:22
In the proverb given above God clearly tells us about what a blessing a woman is. Through this verse God confirms how important it is for a man to marry a woman in his life. Marriage is actually a blessing for any man.
As the verse James 1:17 says, every good and perfect gift is from above coming down from the father of Heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting Shadows.
Proverb 31 clearly tells us about how a married woman is a blessing to her entire household. It also tells us that God showers His grace upon the marital relationship of man and woman .
So we can say that when a woman gets married, her man receives God’s blessings and heavenly grace in Christ Jesus. The best example we see is of Abraham and Sarah .God blessed them with the child of promise” Isaac”. God did not bless the child of Hagar (who was chosen by Sarah for her husband) to be the child of promise as this relationship was not from God.
In Malachi 2: 14 – 16 it says ,”but you say ,”why does He not?” because the lord was witness between you and the wife of your youth to whom you have been faithless ,though she is your companion and your wife by Covenant. Did he not make them one ,with a portion of the spirit in their union? and what was the one God seeking? Godly off spring, so guard yourselves in your spirit, and let none of you be faithless to the wife of your youth.” For the man who does not love his wife but divorces her, says the lord, the God of Israel, covers his garment with violence, says The Lord of hosts .So guard yourselves in your spirit, and do not be faithless.”
Genesis 2:22 – 24 says ,”and the rib that the lord God had taken from the man He made into a woman and brought her to the man. Then the man said, This at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh;she shall be called woman because she was taken out of Man.Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife ,and they shall become one flesh “.So God made only one woman from Adam’s rib. When a man and a woman gets married, it is the God’s spirit that makes them one flesh. This blessing is from the Lord and if anyone tries to break the marriage he faces God’s wrath. Word of God also says ,”let no man may separate what God has joined together.“
Isaiah 34:16 also says,” Seek and read from the book of the Lord ,Not one of these shall be missing ;none shall be without her mate .For the mouth of the Lord has commanded, and His spirit has gathered them. So a man and a woman in their marriage become one with the help of Holy Spirit . So we need to ask the presence of Holy spirit in our marriages.
1 Corinthians 7:13 -14 says ,”if any woman has a husband who is an unbeliever, and he consents to live with her ,she should not divorce him. For the unbelieving husband is made holy because of his wife ,and the unbelieving wife is made holy because of her husband .Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy.”
In Hebrew 13:4 it says,” let marriage be held in honor among all and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous. “So we all need to honor our marriage.
Prayer
Thank you lord for blessing the marriage of man and woman to produce the best children for Your kingdom. We pray that Your Holy Spirit be there in every marriage.
Amen
