Marriage is a commitment to our husband or wife, and a commitment to God. Not only is it a commitment, but it is a promise as well. Look at what Jesus says about marriage:
"But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let no man put asunder." Mark 10: 6-9
If you've ever been to any weddings you've probably heard those words. I think this passage has been recited in so many wedding ceremonies that we have forgotten what it really means.
There is a song called "Dancing in the Minefields" that I have attached below. This song has a wonderful Christian perspective on marriage. My favorite line in the song says, "It was harder than we dreamed, but I believe that's what the promise is for."
How true is that? We don't make promises for things that are easy. We make promises for the things that take work, faith, and commitment. Even promises are hard, but not nearly as hard when we have Christ.
