“It’s a boy.” the nurse told him while handing the baby.
“Sweetheart, it’s a boy.” said the father while holding the baby close to his wife so she could see him, despite her tiredness from delivering her child she slowly but excitedly opens her eyes to see her baby.
Amazed on how such a small being look so wonderful, he hugs his wife and told her “I love you.”
The father starts to make great plans for his family. Keep his work by working diligently and aiming for a higher position. Earn well for his family’s needs and education. Make his own handmade crib, do the washing and cooking for his wife while she’s not yet able and many more plans on his list.
Many are the things that a father and mother can do to their own family.
There is nothing compared to a relationship that can happen in a marriage in which God is made the leader.
Marriage was not man’s idea; it was God’s idea.
God created man with the capacity to feel attraction for the opposite sex; man towards woman and woman towards man. God gave Adam a perfect helpmate, someone that would partner with him; a woman who would be his helper and support. Together they would make a team.
In His infinite wisdom, God chose two completely different people and brought them together in a covenant of faithful and permanent love. When this happens, a miracle takes place. These two individuals join together in a mysterious way to become one. The purpose of this union is to bring forth a new generation for God.
Within divine guidelines, marriage is one of the greatest blessings, especially when you understand that the blessing of God is enriching and does not bring sadness to our lives. In other words, God will keep you from ending up in separation.
As is written in 1 Thessalonians (NIV) that each of you should learn to control his own body in a way that is holy and honorable. We all should aim to be pure until God blesses us with the person whom he chose to be our spouse. For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life (1 Thessalonians 4:7 NIV) and that Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience (Colossians 3:12 NIV).
Anyone then, wanting to build this great tower called marriage, must first see if they are able to put God first.
