Exploring Your Christian Marriage Friendship

In Genesis, when God made us male and female; He also invented sex. It was part of the creative process which He declared as exceedingly good. You can always recall the words you read in Genesis 2:24, to help solidify your marital union, even in time of trouble. For this reason… "a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh."

Know that God rejoices when we enjoy the His gifts. More often than not, those beautiful moments are normally an extension of Christian marriage friendship. However, our marital union of course involves much more than becoming one flesh because we are not only physical, but also intellectual, social, plus spiritual beings. And, to be truly one, couples must be united in virtually all aspects or forms in their lives.

Through God our Christian marriage can become healthier and it will grow. Knowledge of God and of His ways is prerequisite to both fruitful friendships and marriage relationships. Complete union between husband and wife is like Eden restored; it takes time to achieve. No couple becomes truly one on their honeymoon. Oneness is the achievement of a lifetime.

In other words, Christian marriage friendships are our strong beginning. Yet, we do not find the garden all planted and blossoming on our wedding day. We make our own gardens in a much more gradual way. We have to plant, cultivate, and train the tender blossoms of LOVE. With loving looks, kind words, and unselfish deeds today, we nurture our harvest for tomorrow.

Those who come only to pick, yet not to plant or cultivate… they do not find the brightest blossoms. Much like this, we surely all know that unless plants receive sunlight proper nutrients, and water they will slowly die.

The same thing is true of your marriage and effectively every Christian marital union. Unless your marriage gets the proper care and fondling it is going to wither and die. So, why not savor, seed, and soothe your Christian friendship first? As we compare above, your marriage is much like the plant that wants, deserves, and needs carefully ongoing and sincere attention. Yet, sad to note, hundreds of couples still seek very little knowledge about how to make marriage GROW. That is the fact.

So, what method or principle works reliably and dependably for keeping your marriage at its best? Begin with sincere Christian marriage friendship. Yet, continuing answers lay firmly within biblical example. For instance, God lets us know that in a sincere Christian marital union, each of you is going to make a sacrifice by accepting one another’s weaknesses and strengths. And, at the same time, both you and your partner will try to straighten out such weaknesses only via a spirit of loving supportiveness.

Therefore, seeking God’s help and enlightenment is ultimately important. When you have to make such sacrifices, sometimes it will not seem fair… much like even when Jesus had thoughts that perhaps God’s way was unfair to Him, until learning that the ultimate truth was leading to a much more highly positive outcome.

Also if you are patient and willing to give (even when it seems your partner is not giving) then you will surely see the blessings of Christian marriage friendship which blossom into marriage that you could never have imagined previously. Then, the miracle of two becoming one in everything no longer seems like a sacrifice, because it becomes overshadowed by great joy.

Christian marriage exemplifies the image of God’s relationship with Himself and with us. From that divine and powerful relationship, anything is possible.
