The Secrets of a Successful Marriage

The bible presents marriage as a divine institution. If marriage were of human origin, then human beings would have a right to decide the kind of marital relationships to choose. Marriage, however, began with God. Marriage was the first institution established by God at the beginning of human history when He "created the heavens and the earth" (Gen 1:1). As the Creator of marriage, God has the right to tell us which principles should govern our marital relationships. In His revelation contained in the pages of the Bible, God has revealed His will regarding the nature and function of marriage and family life. As Christians who choose to live in accordance with God’s will, we must study and respect those Biblical principles governing marriage. Marriage and family life is very important to God and it is of necessity that we know the secrets to a successful marriage. God bless you as you read.
