FULLNESS OF WHAT YOU MUST HAVE IN MARRIAGE.Part 1

By fullness, I mean things you must do in full to enjoy a great marriage. It entails the totality of things you must do to make your home a place to be. It also means things you must give attention to if your marriage must turn around to become what you want it to be.FULLNESS OF WHAT YOU MUST HAVE IN MARRIAGE.Part 1

You can’t give a half-filled cup of these things and expect a cup-filled with joy, peace and harmony in your marriage. So you must be prepared to give your all, to get all you desire in marriage.

Years back, an old building contractor who was about to retire was begged by one of his clients to help build one more house. He agreed to build it but thinking it is his last opportunity to make quick money, he used inferior materials, half measure of cement, untrained labour, etc. Within a short time, he finished building the house and handed over the bunch of keys to his client, who in turn returned the bunch to him telling him the house belonged to him. The old contractor lived the rest of his life in regret because he had to live in the house he built so badly as half measure of cement cannot build a solid house.

Give your marriage a full measure; it will give you back a full measure of good result and joy.

 

FULLNESS OF WHAT YOU MUST HAVE

  1. Fullness of God.

To enjoy your marriage, you must have the fullness of God in your home.

You can’t enjoy full benefits of God’s love and mercy when God is not in the home. His goodness will be far away from the home if He is not present. The question is, is God present in your home? Your marriage is what it is now because of either the presence or the absence of God Almighty. Don’t just be born again, get awakened to righteousness; give God His rightful place in your home. Live a holy life. Walk in the spirit, be a man or woman of prayer and be a devoted Bible student. Be totally involved in the things of the Lord, submit wholly to His lordship. (1 John 5:3-4)

  1. Fullness of Love. Love is the foundation of any home that will stand straight. For your marriage to be the best, you must love your mate. To show that you really love your spouse is not just a gainsaying, mere exchange of romantic cards, flowers or chocolates. It is deeper than cards. Romantic activities alone are insufficient to make a marriage work. Authentic love for the success of any marriage must include the following: (1 John 4:8)

3.Fullness of Knowledge. Absence of knowledge easily destroys marriage. Fullness of knowledge is the mother of a great and glorious marriage because “Through wisdom is an house builded and by understanding it is established. And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches. Proverbs 24:3-4. Pursue knowledge if you want your marriage to be okay. Seek out wisdom about marriage and family life. Read books, attend seminars, listen to tapes, go for counseling. By all means, improve. Increase your capacity for being a husband or wife, father or mother. Get better in marital skills, lack of skills can kill. You can’t grow farther than your knowledge, please grow.
