*THE CHRISTIAN MARRIAGE IN 2021*
Many marriages after the solemnization has nothing to compare to Christ.
Aside the solemnization procedure, nothing else is in Christ nature.
Our advisers are out there. Christ and the bible are pushed aside.
Then we wonder why the marriage is heating up and the pressure is mounting up.
*2021 will be different.*
Any sympathy that’s outside the word will only bring sorrow.
*Don’t allow anyone to understand your plight who will advise you against your marriage* .
In simple English, a Christian marriage is the one which is patterned after Christ
And a Christian marriage doesn’t mean both couples are doing the right thing…
What it means is that the one person who knows himself or herself in the union is doing the right thing.
For the fact that brother is lashing out fiery tongue doesn’t make him a Christian.
Possibly after marriage you saw his other side…
For by their fruits ye shall know them. Not by their sharp vision of sister or their acoustic tongues
For the fact one of them turn out as an error of mismatch doesn’t stop the marriage being a Christian marriage
In as much somebody is standing for Christ, then Christ is still reigning in that home.

2 Corinthians 4:7-11 KJV
But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. [8] We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; [9] Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; [10] Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. [11] For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
Once you still carry Christ in you I’m spite of marital storms Christ remains with you
*Contextual text is here*
1 Corinthians 7:12-16 KJV
But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away. [13] And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him. [14] For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy. [15] But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases : but God hath called us to peace. [16] For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?
What the bible says is: when you have a mate who lives contrary to the Bible it doesn’t matter whether he is John or Joan he is unbelieving.
Stay with him or her as a worthy Christians.
That by your profession of Christ you may convert him or her.
*Today’s Christian is a different ballgame*
We are like the thermometer. We are unstable.
The thermometer adjusts to the temperature of its surrounding.
Today’s Christian will cook good dish when the husband supply’s.
Today’s Christian will go into adultery when the husband too goes into adultery
Today’s Christian will fall back into sin when he notices his mate has relapsed into sin.
If you know what God calls you, *TREASURE* you’ll not fall into unrighteousness because your partner has fallen.
Instead you stand possibly to redeem him from the fallen state.
Today’s Christians will fight over baby issues like mere not waiting on each other while stepping out of the home.
The truth is: If you’re not living the Christian life in your marriage, you cannot experience the Christian joy in the home.
_This is why you have to recalibrate before 2021_
If your righteous disposition is based on your spouse attitude you’re still at the elementary spiritual class.
*Marital joy and bliss don’t come because your partner is perfect. It comes as a spiritual gift after you have live out the Christian life and truth with your spouse.*
This is why from my experience I have marital bliss where nothing broken or nothing missing.
It’s not because my wife does all things perfectly well but because with God in honesty and truth towards her.
And it doesn’t mean that I don’t let her down sometimes but it’s not deliberately to spite her or being vengeful whatsoever.
*God sees the heart, when your heart is sincerely committed to living as a Christian in your marriage, that is when you begin to enjoy marriage indeed.*
If you’re waiting for your spouse to change that habit before you enjoy your marriage you may have to wait for a lifetime.
Marital bliss is just a decision away from you: The commitment to live the Christian life in your marriage irrespective of what your spouse is or what he turns to.
Thank you for today.
