The revelation of a story
There was a custom when Jews got married in ancient times. Newcomers who are about to enter the marriage hall should immediately enter the bridal chamber and enjoy themselves after swearing to each other. While their relatives and friends are waiting anxiously outside. After making love, the husband will hang bloody sheets outside the window. At this time, it is time to start celebrating. Brothers and sisters, relatives and friends began to cheer and bless each other. What they celebrate is that the wife overcame her own selfish desires before marriage and left her husband a complete self. She kept her promise to her husband. Then, it is up to the husband to continue to fulfill this agreement and take care of his wife until she is old.
From this story, a mature and devout Christian (Jewish in spirit) should make the following preparations before entering the marriage hall:
1 Want to be a single winner.
I should start to deal with the problems in my life and make myself a responsible, responsible, confident and strong person through prayer. At the same time, be prepared to enter a relationship. Christian marriage pays for each other. So ask yourself, are you ready to pay for the other half?
Start a love relationship with the principle of "three noes"
Mature and devout Christians are not allowed to have premarital sex in a relationship.
Marriage should be respected by everyone, and the bed should not be filthy; For everyone who commits adultery will be judged by God. (Hebrews 13:4)
God's will is to make you holy and avoid fornication; Let each of you know how to protect your body with holiness and glory. (1 Thessalonians 4:3-4)
Don't turn off the light, don't take off your clothes and don't lie down. Most people think these are cruel. But God let us get married for his own purposes. Nowadays, more and more people think that marriage is the grave of love and there is no fun after marriage. More and more people have adopted the methods of cohabitation and trial marriage before marriage. In fact, for devout Christians, the commandments set by God are of great significance. We started a relationship with the principle of "three noes" in order to give each other a promise. Marriage is sacred, so to leave the most valuable things to the other half, often the most valuable things have to pay a price. When we enter the bridal chamber and open our hearts, we can proudly say to the other half: what I want to give you is what I paid a price to keep, which is extremely precious.
3. Enter the "spirit" before marriage.
While maintaining the sacred relationship before marriage, we should pray for spiritual unity with each other. If two people disagree, can they go together? (Amos 3:3)
They need to build together in the Lord, see the same vision, pray together and fight together. This relationship is based on rocks. It is a great blessing to enter marriage with such spiritual unity and then enjoy the happiness given by God to husband and wife.
They made a Covenant with each other under the witness of God and everyone.
When we are ready to pay the price and keep the most precious chastity for each other, the spirit reaches unity. Then, under the witness of God and others, I said: In the name of God, I solemnly promise to accept you as my wife (husband). From now on, I will always love and cherish you in Christ, whether it is good or bad, rich or poor, sick or healthy.
Why did you choose to get married in Christ?
My friends, when we choose a holy Christian wedding, we must do the above before we can make a commitment in front of everyone, and such a marriage will be protected and blessed by God. Harvard university in the United States found in a national statistics that the divorce rate in the United States is every three couples1; However, if couples get married in church, the divorce rate will drop to 65,438+0 for every 65,438+05 couples. If the husband and wife not only hold weddings in the church, but also attend church parties regularly and often pray and read the Bible together, then the divorce rate for every 1 1.
With the blessing of God and the cover of the church, love or marriage will be different! Are you tempted to see such a beautiful marriage here?
