Lack of Information
The most prevalent problem in marriage is the lack of
information. There was a time I took it upon myself to bring relevant knowledge
to the church about marriage. I began to preach about marriage at any given
opportunity I had, both nationally and internationally. Whether it was on wedding
days, Sundays or even mid-week services, I talked about marriage. I did that
for a couple of years and then began to preach about marriage from city to city
organizing my own programs and working with Churches just to see that people
have joy and happiness in their homes.
I will never forget this deacon from a very big church who
attended one of the seminars with his wife. On the second day of the seminar,
they testified that they did not sleep till about 2.00 a.m. that night because
they realized that they just had to sit and discuss. They talked seriously for
the first time and many things were resolved that night. They happily shared
their testimony and confessed it was a new beginning for them. As far as I am
concerned that was the beginning of success in their marriage.
Ephesians 5: 20 -23; 31
“Giving thanks always for all things unto God the father in the name of
Jesus Christ; submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. Wives
submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is
the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of church and he is the savior
of the body”
“For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother and shall be
joined to his wife, and the two shall be one flesh.”
Since I gained a good understanding of the above passage, my
marriage changed. If you would sit down and study the above scripture, I
guarantee you that your marriage will also change. Let us critically examine
verse 31:-
“For this cause shall
a man leave his father and mother and shall be joined to his wife, and the two
shall be one flesh.”
Marriage entails that a man leaves his father and mother in
order to be joined to his wife in every sense of the word. Therefore marriage
is all about leaving and cleaving. You leave your parents and cleave to your
wife. Cleaving means to become bonded or to become one solid unit.
Why do you need to leave? It is necessary because if you do
not leave there will be too many interferences in your marriage. You need to
leave physically and psychologically because many who refused to leave are
having problems in their marriages today. The only way to avoid having the same
problems is to leave and cleave.
