POT 2: Fill this pot with the wisdom of God. Through wisdom is a house builded; and by understanding it is established. And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches. A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength. For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war: and in multitude of counsellors there is safety. Wisdom is too high for a fool: he openeth not his mouth in the gate (Proverbs 24:3-7). Get wisdom; get a better understanding of God, marriage and your partner, if you desire new wine (Proverbs 7:4).

POT 4: Fill the fourth pot with water of deep loving, open and effective communication. Without effective communication, even the presence of wine in marriage will be insufficient. Learn the art of speaking and listening, which enhances a great marriage. In the house of the righteous is much treasure: but in the revenues of the wicked is trouble. The lips of the wise disperse knowledge: but the heart of the foolish doeth not so Proverbs 15:6-7.

Talk in love.
Talk to build.
Never talk to destroy.
Listen with your ears and heart opened widely.

POT 5: Fill the fifth pot with the water of love. You can’t build a great marriage without deep love, tenderness and affection. Deep, heart-felt love, demonstrative love, service, provision, friendliness are the road to a blissful, joyful and wine-filled marriage. Helping, supporting each other, doing well to each other is what is called love. Don’t withhold it from your spouse. Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it Prov. 3:27.

POT 6: Fill the sixth pot of your marriage with romance. This involves giving each other attention, affection, playing together, sharing, touching and fulfilling love making. Don’t ever go elsewhere outside your marriage for romance. Let your spouse satisfy you and be excited with each other in love. Sex in marriage is the commandment of the Lord. To have wine in that marriage you must give sex a chance and banish sexual sins. Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well. Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets. Let them be only thine own, and not strangers’ with thee. Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth. Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love. And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger? Proverbs 5:15-20.
