You Say, “I Do” Not Just To Your Spouse But Also To God

Marriage is not an easy journey. It’s all about commitment and trust. When you say “I do” in front of your spouse, you are not only saying it to her but remember that you also promised something in front of your family, friends, and, most importantly, to God. It is a sacred covenant that you should keep in your heart no matter what happens.

For all the couple out there, remember that you can powerfully honor God through your marriage life. Love your spouse with all your heart. Know that you are already one, and nothing should break your intimate relationship apart. Let your marriage become a beautiful inspiration for your children someday. Show them how to honor their future spouse. May your love story become a beautiful reminder for your children that honoring God is what marriage is all about.

If you happen to be single or planning to get married. Remember that marriage life is a challenging journey. Your commitment will be tested, and you need to equip yourself with enough love so that you will not be burned out. While waiting, take this time to learn how to truly love others. Start with your family. Love your parents with all your heart. Treasure this moment with your siblings. Spend time with your friends.  And above all, strengthen your relationship with God because He alone will teach you how to become a committed and godly spouse.

The journey will never be easy. Every married couple will meet challenges along the way, and no one is exempted. There will be significant changes and unexpected moments. Some of them are not that strong enough to handle every struggle, that’s why they chose to quit. But then those who are committed enough will always stay and do their best to make their marriage work again. They are those who choose to trust in the Lord despite all the hardships and struggles they face.

At the end of the day, what matters most is you choose to honor God through your marriage. So always treat Him as the center of your relationship. A marriage that is founded in the love of God will never be broken. God will be the one who will protect your covenant. Make Him the ultimate source of your love so that you will never grow weary and tired. The journey will always be worth it one day. Sometimes, it’s no longer about what you feel inside, but it’s more on your commitment to God. So stay not just for the sake of your family but also for the sake of honoring God in your life.
