Discovering the Purpose of Your Marriage
Although the institute of marriage appears to be made a mockery in today’s society, it takes nothing away from God’s original intent. God gave Adam vision. Then God gave Adam, Eve. She was not given to him as a subordinate nor to be an inferior to control, but Eve was given to Adam to “help”. Eve was to help fulfill the vision in the earth that Adam received from God which was given for them both. Adam could not accomplish the vision on his own. They were to operate as a team to accomplish the vision given to them.
Working together as a team is the same concept God intends for today’s marriages. God puts man and woman together in order to fulfill His vision in the earth. Our failure to understand God’s team concept causes many failed marriages. We usually get married and immediately begin working independently or against each other. We have missed the whole purpose of why “two become one”.
Just like we believe that God has vision for individuals, there is also a vision that God has for every individual marriage. We must simply come out of our individual corners and begin to discover, with the intent to understand, the reason for our marriage team.
In our study workbook, “Building an Effective Marriage Team” along with our marriage camps, we help couples attempt to discover and understand the reason for their team. Through heartaches, fighting and misunderstandings we too had to discover the real intent of marriage. We now work together as a team fulfilling God’s vision for us. We want to do the same for you. We encourage you to take some time and talk to your spouse and learn who he/she is. Explain to them who you are or at least what makes you tick. Read, “Building An Effective Marriage Team” and also follow through the evaluations that are in the book. We also encourage you to come to a marriage camp if you are in the Ohio vicinity or even invite us to come where you are. We would truly enjoy sharing with you God’s concept of marriage and hopefully we help you discover the true purpose for your marriage team.
