Topic: Secrets to Marital Bliss!
Dear Reader,
God designed your marriage to be sweet and exciting. If yours has lost its excitement, God can impart His joy and goodness into it. As you read this article and apply the principles therein, my greatest heart’s desire for you today is that your home will come alive and be full of joy, laughter and excitement in Jesus’ name!
This week, I will be sharing with you on Wisdom as one of the secrets to marital bliss. To enjoy marital bliss, wisdom is required. God’s Word says: Through WISDOM is an house builded; and by understanding it is established (Proverbs 24:3).
I have noticed in the course of counselling people that most of the problems encountered in homes result from lack of wisdom, and wisdom is what makes a home sweet. With wisdom, you know what to do and at the appropriate time. As a husband, if you walk in wisdom, you will know how to relate with your wife and train up your children, not beating them up and posing to be a terror to your household. Wives who are full of wisdom relate easily with their in-laws and other members of their families.
From the anchor text, you need to search for wisdom to operate your home. Therefore, open up and receive the wisdom you require to handle those situations correctly so that peace and joy will fill your home.
The opposite of wisdom is foolishness. It is a problem rooted in the realm of the spirit. It is what causes a woman to react negatively, speak abusive words and misbehave (Proverbs 9:13). It is what causes a man to chase after other women to the destruction of his soul (Proverbs 7:7-23). Foolishness is a destroyer of the peace and sweetness in the home. If you learn to walk in wisdom, you will enjoy fulfilment in your family life. God’s Word says: Wisdom is the principal thing (Proverbs 4:7).
The type of wisdom I am referring to here is not that which comes from education. So, don’t regret your level of education saying, “If I had gone to an institution of higher learning, I would be wiser than I am now”. The wisdom you require to shine in the family is from God. It is knowing what to do when confronted with an unpleasant situation and is based on your knowledge and application of the Word of God in your life. God’s Word says: Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock (Matthew 7:24).
Who then is a wise man? He is one who hears and does the sayings of Jesus. These sayings are located in the Bible. As you hear the Word of God and apply, and practise it in your life, you are walking in wisdom.
Do you desire the wisdom of God in your life and home? Why not surrender your life to Christ today so that a measure of God’s wisdom will be imparted upon you? If you are set for this new birth experience, please say this prayer: “Dear Lord Jesus Christ, I come to You today. I am a sinner. Forgive me of my sins and cleanse me with Your Blood. Deliver me from sin and satan to serve the living God. I accept You as my Lord and Saviour. Make me a child of God today. Thank You for accepting me into Your Kingdom.”
If you prayed this simple prayer, you are now a child of God. He loves you and will never leave you. Read your Bible daily, obey God’s Word and seek Christian fellowship (John 14:21).
