4 "Haven't you read," he replied, "that at the beginning the Creator 'made them male and female,'5 and said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh' ? 6 So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate." Matthew 19:4-6
Marriage is a covenant between man and the Lord. We, as a couple, are not only saying our vows before God to honor and obey one another but we are vowing to honor and obey Him. The institution of marriage is such an amazing gift from God and it should not be taken lightly. In this culture of meism the divorce rate is over 50% which means we are taking matters into our own hands rather than trusting and believing in the Lord for all things. Man chooses to quit when things get tough rather than honor the vows of forever. The truth is when a believer in Christ waits upon the Lord for their mate to come, it is a spiritual experience. And the union is sanctified and blessed. So today I raise my glass to my niece and her future husband and I pray, " What God has joined together let man not separate" and then I say, "You waited upon Him and He answered your prayers and I could not be happier for you both."
Dedicated to my Dad, who I lost eight years ago today. You are always in my heart.
