MARRYING GOD’S WILL IS NOT A GUARANTEE FOR A SUCCESSFUL MARRIAGE.
A few days ago I asked a question about the kind of marriage most of us want.
I got plenty of responses and I appreciate all of you that responded.
Amongst the reactions, I saw some say they want God’s will.
Some said a peaceful marriage. Others said heaven on earth kind of marriage.
Let me say this, all your responses are valid and I pray that your marriage is as you want it.
But let me tell you something.
God’s will doesn’t make your marriage work. God’s will is only an indicator or a guide that you are with the right person. Wanting heaven on earth kind of marriage is possible but it’s not just by words.
Many people stepped into God’s will but didn’t manage it well. There are many that God showed their life partners, but today, they are divorced.

What!!!
Can we say God’s will is not right for you?
Does it mean that your heaven-on-earth marriage prayer wasn’t heard?
Noooooo.

Listen.
There is more.
God’s will is not what makes your marriage work. What makes your marriage work is the practices you carry out in your marriage. The action you carry out within his will.
God’s will is great, but you need to learn his ways too.
You can’t separate God’s will from God’s ways in your marriage. They work together.
God’s will is the word,
God’s way is the action.
What action are you carrying out? Are you following God’s instructions as instructed?
Are you loving your partner as Christ loves the church? Are you submitting to your partner as you submit to the Lord? Or are you busy doing what you like, claiming you are in God’s will?
Are you obeying love as described in 1 Corinthians 13? Or do you just want His will without following the way? Do you not forgive, are you not kind, hold grudges, or are you impatient?
Look deep into it and you will understand… their is more to it
