The Blessings And The Purpose Of Marriage

    1. Companionship

    The number one purpose for marriage is companionship. God instituted marriage so that a man or a woman will have someone of the same kind to commune with. The only way somebody can truly keep you company is when they are your friend. And for someone to truly be your friend he or she must be in the same class with you. For you to enjoy intimate friendship in the marriage institution, you must understand the two major laws that govern marriage.

    Until we understand the law of love in marriage, one party will be suffering and there will not be true companionship, the word says “Husbands love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it” “and let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself” love is a commandment not a suggestion.

    The reason why some men have not been able to love their wives like their own flesh, is because of the false believe that a woman is lesser than a man.

    God created man and women equally but they are to function differently. There are countless places in the bible were God show us that we are like HIM. “As He is in heaven so we are on earth, the same glory that my Father has given me, I have given it to you, as my father had sent Me; even so have I sent you, the same work that I do, shall you do, even greater works than this shall you do”. God never refers to us as inferior or lesser than He is, the bible refers to us as joint heir with Christ.

    Your wife is not inferior to you; she is the same as you are, because Christ the head of the church told us that we are the same as He is.

    The idea that a wife is not the same as her husband is from Africa Satanic tradition made by men that never knew who God is, and how He intended marriage to become.

    How can the same flesh with you now become less than you? How can you claim your eye is more important than your nose?

    Until this is understood and applied in marriage, you may not enjoy the full blessings in marriage.

    God made a man as the leader in a home, and it is impossible for the eyes to lead without the nose following; that makes the wife a co-leader and a follower.

    The law of Submission:

    The second law that governs marriage is submission. The law of submission was given before that of a man to love. This was done on purpose, because God knows that submission will naturally win the love of a man. No man refuses submission. Simple obedience to scriptures will make you have your home the way God intended it.

    (Eph5:21) “Wives submit yourselves unto your own husband as unto the Lord”.

    This is a commandment not an opinion. Back in the primary school days, there use to be a class prefect in every classroom; he or she is usually appointed by the class teacher over the other pupil. Whenever they disobey the authority of the class prefect, the class teacher feels they had disobey her authority and in turn discipline the pupil; so also it is when a women disobey her husband, she is not just disobeying her husband but God that place him as her leader.

    1. Fruitfulness – The first word God said to a man and his wife is to be “fruitful”.

    Marriage is for fruitful living.

    Oxford dictionary defines fruitfulness as producing much fruit, fertile, producing good result. One of the original intent of marriage is to enable the people involved to produce a better result. Marriage is God’s mystery of solving hardship; marriage is a tool for prosperity anywhere in the world.

    Until marriage came, Adam was just working in the garden as a worker not as an owner.

    He was only working and eating as a laborer, he was on survival party but after Eve came; God started blessing him and gave him ownership over the earth. See (Genesis 1:28-29)

    Before marriage, Adam was limited to the garden but after marriage the bible says “you have fruit not just what to eat, but now have the ability to reproduce the fruit with the seed in it, which is in all the face of the earth”.

    No matter where you are, as long as you are married, you are to be blessed more than ever before.

    Let me tell you this, as a man there is a level of blessing you may never attain until you get married. And if you are already married and still remain poor, demand for it, it is your right to be blessed. Marriage is GOD ANTI POVERTY PROGRAMME.

    1. Pro-creation – (Genesis 1:28) ” Then God blessed them, and God said to them, Be fruitful, multiply and replenish the earth”

    Replenish means to fill up again, to refill, to top up.

    Multiply means to have several, many, God was referring to having children here. He had to use two different languages for emphasis. The moment you get married, children becomes your right, barrenness is an illegal state in the life of couples. Another scripture says” children are in- heritage of the lord; the fruit of the womb is a reward for getting married. So, another purpose for marriage is for pro-creation.

    1. Prayer power/spiritual strength – (Eccl 4:9-12)” Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour”

    When you are weak in prayers, you have another person to pray you up. For instance, I usually wake up at night to pray and study and my husband wakes up 5am to pray, because we have to pray together as family, I have to also join him, that makes me pray more. The bible says “One shall chaste a thousand, but two ten thousand”. Marriage gives your prayers a multiplier effect.

    1. Sexual pleasure – Marriage is for pleasure; one of the intent God created marriage is for us to enjoy sex.

    He says “Be fruitful, multiply, replenish the Earth”. God already design procreation to come as a result of man and woman knowing each other bodily.

    God is the one that created your sexual urge inside of you and marriage is the reason he created it, so you can have pleasure exclusively.

    If you ever wonder why you are having feelings towards the opposite sex, marriage is the reason.

    God is not wicked, He thought of you having sex ever before you knew it existed.

    Please, do not use it against him. See (1 Corinthians 7:3-5).

    The scripture says “Your body is not your own but for your spouse” This means, your body is for your spouse to enjoy.

    One of the purposes or intent for marriage is for sexual pleasure.
