ASSISTANCE IN marriage
FOREWORD
When a man
or a woman find a spouse, they may marry thinking that they will live ‘happily
ever after’. They may think that nothing can disturb their happiness and that
their life together will be like sunshine every day without any clouds. They
may also doubt whether there will be any serious problems in their relationship
because everything has gone so well so far.
However, the fact is that we live in an
imperfect and fallen world in which nothing is as it was when Adam and Eve
lived together in Paradise. In practice, this imperfection means that when
people get together, they also bring to the marriage their own difficult
personalities and especially their selfishness, which is a result of the Fall
of Man and certainly the biggest reason of homes breaking up these days. If we
do not want to be freed from this selfishness, it can greatly harm the
relationship.
In any case, below we are going to deal
with this area especially in the light of the Bible. We are going to
concentrate on those common mistakes and ways of doing things of which we might
be guilty because we have not seen them in ourselves, nobody has ever told us
about them, or because we have not understood them in the light of the Bible.
If you notice any of the issues we are going to bring up in your own life, you
can be freed from them; especially if you ask for God’s help.
