We often hear that the “perfect” life includes a fairy tale marriage – you know, the happily ever after kind. But what if the real secret isn’t about finding your own happiness, but something way bigger?
What if God designed marriage to make us holy more than to make us happy?
Marriage’s purpose is to help us grow closer to God. It shows us our weaknesses and gives us a chance to reflect, and hopefully improve to become more like Him. The hard times in marriage can turn into something good if we face them with prayer, humility, and trust in God. Marriage helps us learn how to
serve, love, and obey God in a deeper way, making it a selfless and holy relationship.
Think about it: marriages that focus only on personal happiness can sometimes fall apart. But when we see marriage as a sacred journey, something truly special, it can be a powerful tool for spiritual growth. It’s kind of like a permanent spiritual boot camp!
When we see marriage as a way to grow spiritually, it helps us build a stronger relationship with both our spouse and God.
When we strive for a holy marriage, we become better reflections of Jesus’s love and learn to love each other the way God loves us – unconditionally and sacrificially. It’s not always easy, but the journey itself is a beautiful testament to faith and commitment.
Take the step to join Grace Marriage ministry and watch how God transforms your relationship for His glory.
