Scripture: Ephesians 5:21-33
Meditation: Being married is hard. It requires adjustments, submission, and sacrifice. Marriage is filled with stress, problems, and trouble. The failure rate of marriages is very high; too high. But marriage is the most amazing relationship that God has given us. Where else has God invited us to be most like Him? It is in marriage, in the union of two lives, where we get to share the same kind of intimacy that God shares in the God-head. It is in marriage that we get to share the creative power of God in bringing life into this world.
Regardless of how many times, or how many different ways Satan attacks marriages, it is worth it, it is worth fighting for.
Live the love that God gives you to the fullest, in submissive sacrifice.
Prayer: God, you are the author of Love. You have given us marriage. Help us to honor you in it. Help us to support and defend every marriage against whatever or whoever would oppose and attack it.
