Their Strength

The strength of a marriage comes from the Most High (a threefold cord). The truth is we are only as strong as our weakest points. The enemy attacks your weaknesses not your strengths. Therefore, it is wise for us to not only know our weaknesses and strengths but those of our spouse as well. I hear knowing is half the battle and if that is the case then the other half of the battle would be walking in righteousness.

There is so much going on in the world that has men and women cutting each other’s throat like where is the loyalty and honor amongst the two of them? Think about this we argue because there is a division in opinion, views, and ideas. We argue over what we think is right and what we want. Understanding that there are three people in a marriage, and one is always right gives us balance. If him and her can’t agree on something, then Christ (the one that’s always right) will give an answer that will end the feud. This is unity, anything else is division.

Can two people walk together unless they agree? No, a man can’t lead if she won’t follow, and she won’t follow if he isn’t following Christ. Men want women to submit but refuse to submit to the power over them. Ecclesiasticus 26:23 tells us that a wicked woman is given as a wicked man’s portion, but a godly woman is given to a man that feareth the Lord. One thing the Lord takes delight in is a couple that agree together. Hear me well some people are wicked and refuse to submit.

To lead a man must be strong and courageous and to follow she must be submissive and teachable. More than that she needs to see that he is submitted to someone above him. If she feels that she’s the only one having to submit the thoughts that will plague her mind is that she is her man’s footstool  and that’s not the image the Most High wants his daughters to have of themselves. When we respectfully agree to disagree and let Christ have the final word, we are stronger than anything the enemy can throw at us.
