In the marriage God gives us a lot of blessings, also there will be problems that we are going to face. God left us this as a gift. And when the problem comes, He is going to be with us and his mercy too. Because He is good, even the problems surround us.

It is important to comprehend that, to reach the marriage, we need to pass a process of friendship and compromise. In the period of friendship we know our partner, so we can proceed to the compromise phase, when the marriage is soon. If we want that our marriage be steady and enduring, we need to take our time to know this person, who will be our wife or husband.

One of the problems that a lot of marriages face, are the economic ones, that comes in any moment and there are no guarantee that there will be a support from the partner to face these situations. The time of friendship allows us to see the reaction from our partners when these problems present to our lives.

Another difficulty that the marriages could have, are the problems that may cause the family of the partner; these kind of problems can lead to a divorce. This occur when there are no limits to the family of both in the decisions that both of you take.

Another theme, is the intimacy, but we are not talking about sexuality. Intimacy, like knowing the deepest things of our partner´s heart. For this reason, it is necessary know him or her, in a long period of time. We need more than just a few months. The men do not take a lot of importance about the details, as women do. For this reason, as men, we need to pay attention to those details that surrounds our beloved, so we can take care of her and not to hurt her for our lack of attention.

The fourth aspect, is the authority of the home. Many times this arises for the intention of usurp the place that corresponds the man, or because he does not want to assume it. It is important to understand that in the marriage happens a lot of extraordinary experiences, but there are problems too. And we need to face them.

Gen 2:24 (KJV) Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

According to this verse, this is the moment in which the marriage institutes, when both became one, and it talks about an instruction by God for us. When we initiate the marriage, there are two main gears, which need to unite in a perfect way, so both can work and fulfil their functions. If this not happen, nothing will be okay. Each one have different customs and beliefs from home, and make that both perfectly combine is complicated. For this reason, we need to die to ourselves, so it can work. It is possible that we may grew in a hostile ambient, there were no limits, so we think that this is normal. It is no necessary to reach the physic aggression, it could be offenses to our partner´s heart. When we say hurting words, we are making wounds that are hard to heal. We know that God can cure these wounds, extending his healing hands and is medicine to our souls, so he can cure everything. We need to comprehend that we need to die to our pride, to all maleness and everything that hinder in our marriage, because we are sheep and Christians.

When the problems come, is necessary that the Lord come to the rescue of our marriage. Only Him can make us happy.

Eph 5:25-33 (KJV) (25) Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; (26) That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, (27) That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. (28) 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: (30) For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. (31) For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. (32) This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. (33) Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.

Everything that express these verses is very important, but let´s see the verse 32, this talks about the mystery of the marriage between Christ and his church. For God the marriage is very important, he compares it with His marriage. This helps us to comprehend that the marriage is not a simple thing, It is something bigger before the Lord´s eyes. Sadly, there are people that talks about this or its partner in a wrong way. When this happen, they just destroy what they have. If we already initiated a marriage, we have to accomplish, loving our wife. When we get married, the Bible says that we are pastors, priest, kings and queens; our job is to take care the vineyard, which is our family, our partner and children. So when the father ask us, we present ourselves before his presence, in a pleasant way. Also respond him that the sheep that he gave us are safe, and no one have lost, because this is our job, our responsibility.

Rev 3:2 (KJV) Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God. If we are having troubles in our marriage, and crossing through situations that leaded us to the border of the desperation, today the Lord commands us to be watchful and strengthen the things that are pending of resolve. The Lord gives us the opportunity to have victory in these things, in these situations, so we can recover all that is possibly lost, or in the border of became lost. We need to be watchful about all the blessings that the Lord already gave us.

Pro 12:4 (KJV) A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.

The wife is the crown of the husband, and we have to take care of her, and not cause damage to her. The Bible says that we have to take care of her, like fragile glasses, because together with us, they are heirs of the kingdom. Our responsibility is love and take care of them.

Rev 3:11 (KJV) Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

Naturally, the women look out for security and a home, where they can be secure. So, when they look a man, they expect from him security. So, like men we have to offer security to our wife. Like mature men, we have to do it, with formal thoughts.

Mal 2:13-15 (KJV) (13) And this have ye done again, covering the altar of the LORD with tears, with weeping, and with crying out, insomuch that he regardeth not the offering any more, or receiveth it with good will at your hand. (14) Yet ye say, Wherefore? Because the LORD hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast dealt treacherously: yet is she thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant. (15) And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the spirit. And wherefore one? That he might seek a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.

Let´s see some definitions about the word “treacherous”:  

When we are single, we offer anything to the girls, and they trust us. But once we are married, the promises that were made, are forgotten. The passage above says that the Lord does not accept the offering, when we were acting in a treacherous way against our wife, when she covers the altar with her tears. God not sees pleasant the offerings, when this is surrounded for this circumstances. When He does not receive our offering, we will have economic troubles because the devourer will not be reprimanded.

There are men that mistreat his wife and they serve the Lord, preaching or in the tables. The testimony of our partner and children need to be the most important for us. Even more than all that the people can think or say. At the end, we are going to present ourselves and our decisions to our Heavenly Father.

Understanding, that the sheep that he gave to us, so we can take care of them, is a figure of our family.

The word “Treacherous” came from a Hebrew root H898 “Bagad”, and among its significances we can find this words: unfaithful, to act covertly; deal deceitfully, offend, transgress, depart.

Mal 2:15-16 (KJV) (15) And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the spirit. And wherefore one? That he might seek a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth. (16) For the LORD, the God of Israel, saith that he hateth putting away: for one covereth violence with his garment, saith the LORD of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously.

If today we are in the winner´s side, He can take control of our home, but if we do not know the Lord like our savior, we need to change our life. So, he can make his will in us, because he is a God of impossibles.

Sometimes he take his time, because we are hindering the way, we do not let him make the miracles he want to do in us. The Lord wants to do his will in us. He wants to extend his scepter to bless us, but he have to move forward, walk to his encounter.
