Marriage
Most of the problems today in Christian families so to say are caused as a result of choosing the wrong partner. This particular problem constitutes about 95% of problems experience in Christian homes today; and except God has mercy on them they would not be able to scale through in the course of life.
The act of choosing the wrong partner is not peculiar to contemporary Christians. We can also find the example of that in the Bible, considering the character of Samson and Delilah in the book of judges. Who married the daughter of the philistines, those whom God had commanded the children of Israel never to marry either by giving their daughters in marriage or their male child seeking for the hand of their daughter in marriage. Of course you could see what ended the life of a once dexterous and conquering Samson. He was betrayed by the same woman he married from the philistines and suffered a shameful fate in the hands of their lords.
The kind of fate suffered by Samson is what anybody who chooses a wrong partner today symbolically experiences. That is why you discover that a newly wedded couple is tired of their union within a very little period of time they spend together and are seeking to file for divorce. That is why we discover a great deal of wickedness and hatred in Christian homes today, where there is supposed to be love and hospitality. Wives do not respect their husbands again neither are the husbands faithful to their wives anymore. The union that is meant and designed to bring joy to each of the partner has turned to be bitterness and sorrow. Except they both identify their mistakes and go back to Calvary for remission of their sins, they can never make it to heaven.
The danger and sorrow inherent in choosing a wrong partner cannot be uttered or quantified. It is like a dart fired at a man’s heart or a deep fresh wound punctured with a sharp pointed nail. It grieves me a lot when some believers think that they can marry anyhow without the leading of God; or that they could choose their spouses with a canal mind and view without any due protocol observed.
We must always understand the fact that we are new creatures in Christ Jesus and as a result of that we must not conform to the world in choosing life partners. We are to adhere to all what God has said concerning the choosing of life partner and marriage because it is instituted by God.
