The things of this earth will pass away and all things will be made new....

I have watched and prayed and waited as I notice things happening in our lives. Our marriage, a covenant marriage on the Holy word of God. We had witnesses.  All of them. Friends and family from both sides of the family.  We gathered everyone on May 17, 1997.  To profess our love to one another, to make a statement in front of friends and family. We professed to one another and to our friends and family and to the world to say nothing and nobody would ever tear us apart.  That no one could touch the love we had for one another.

Haha can you guess what happened?  We did even finish the reception and my family had already left?  They were confronted about differences in TRADITION.  No one even mentioned this to me or my groom for life.  It all happened behind our back.  

It was already settled at our wedding, our covenant marriage.  

Others had taken over, they were strategically working behind our back to get conflict going.  Why is this?  I see it that satan was working hard because he knew what he was up against.  There is nothing more powerful than a vow between husband and wife to honor and obey God before parents, before siblings, before work, before all those distractions on earth. 

Oh they make it powerful. Our wedding which was truly a beautiful wedding with vows and a promise before God was already trying to be destroyed by those clearly who didn't have the same objective.  The Lost.  

Jesus died on the cross for us. God gave His only son Jesus.  

The bands are a symbolism on this earth to show that we have that dedication and commitment to one another.  There is no one, NO ONE that should interfere with that commitment or that vow made to God and before God.  

Mark 10:9 AND THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH; so they are no longer two, but one flesh. 9"What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate."

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary says this....

10:1-12 Wherever Jesus was, the people flocked after him in crowds, and he taught them. Preaching was Christ's constant practice. He here shows that the reason why Moses' law allowed divorce, was such that they ought not to use the permission; it was only for the hardness of their hearts. God himself joined man and wife together; he has fitted them to be comforts and helps for each other. The bond which God has tied, is not to be lightly untied. Let those who are for putting away their wives consider what would become of themselves, if God should deal with them in like manner.

                               to make a marriage work mistakenly translates into a belief that "it takes two" to break a marriage up. We subconsciously assign blame accordingly.

However, the truth is that it only takes one to wreck a covenant, as we can learn from God's own relationship with the northern kingdom of Israel.

Our own understanding of marriage is modeled on the very covenant God made with his people.

God was Israel's husband (Isa. 54:5), who took her to be his own and vowed to feed, clothe, cherish, and be faithful to her (Ezek. 16). In stark contrast to God's faithfulness and care, Israel and Judah shamelessly disregarded the covenant: neglecting, abusing and betraying him. The prophets repeatedly called their behavior out as the violation of the covenant it was: adultery (Ezek. 23:37, Jer. 5:7).

God's marital covenant with the northern kingdom of Israel had been wrecked by her hardhearted behavior, and in Jeremiah 3:8 we hear these words: "for all the adulteries of that faithless one, Israel, I had sent her away with a decree of divorce." In Isaiah 50:1, he asks, "Where is your mother's certificate of divorce, with which I sent her away?"

How strong is your covenant marriage?
