 Valentine’s Day is just about here, and individuals are gearing up to get there special someone something nice, but I want to bypass the candy hearts and cute cards; I want to talk about Marriage. I have been married for 15 years, and in those fifteen years my husband and I weathered some storms, but in all of it we have remained joined, it’s not always easy, but I do believe with the Lord all things are possible even a well balanced marriage in every area.

 In the garden God made Adam and Eve, and they joined coming together as one flesh.

Genesis 2

 But for Adam no suitable helper was found.  So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs and then closed up the place with flesh.  Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.

  The man said,

   “This is now bone of my bones
   and flesh of my flesh;
she shall be called ‘woman,’
   for she was taken out of man.”

  That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.

  Adam and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame.

 

Too many marriages today are joined to everything else, but the one thing they are suppose to be joined to, and that is each other.

 

 Here is a short list of some of those things that are a pseudo joining.

1. The wife is joined to her career.

2. The man is joined to his career

3. The man or women is joined to the children who eventually leave home to start their own family.

4. The man or women is joined to their friends, colleagues or outside family members.

I heard of people say the reason why they divorced is because they grew apart.  That tells me one of them was joined to something else.  

In the beginning, the Lord never said he joined Adam to the animals of the field, which was Adams work. The Lord joined Adam to Eve, his help mate in all things.

This Valentine’s Day I pray you take a look at your marriage, is there anything your joined to that is hurting or hindering your marriage, and if there is, you will find that is probably why you have lost that loving feeling.

Take time with your spouse work on the US part of the marriage.

The only person you are joined to unto death when saying your wedding vows is your spouse, too me that is a serious joining that the Lord does not want us to over look or pass by.

Celebrate your marriage, renew your vows to one another, fan the flames and above else pray to be reconciled together, it is never too late or too hard.

Lord I pray that you will reconcile marriages; Lord heal there soul man and soul women, so they are balanced in every part of their marriage and life. In Jesus name Amen

Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate." Mark 10:9
