Marital bliss therefore happens when a man and a woman in holy matrimony enjoy and experience divine blessings on continual basis.
To have marital bliss therefore, a man and a woman in holy matrimony must consciously know and apply such knowledge to attract the blessings of God.
When the blessings of God manifest in your home you would without any doubt have marital bliss.
Therefore now let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may continue for ever before thee: for thou, O Lord God , hast spoken it: and with thy blessing let the house of thy servant be blessed for ever. 2 Samuel 7:29 KJV
To attract marital bliss, you must go back to the foundation.
- Who are you? You must know yourself. There are three of you.
There is the person you think you are. There is the person others think you are. There is the person God knows you are and can be through Christ.
Are you a son of God (Made in the image of God / led by the Spirit of God -Rom 8 :14)? Are you a daughters of man -Gen 6:2 (Created from the Rib of Man )? Are you a daughter of the land (formed by societal influence)?
Scripturally, only sons of God are permitted to marry the daughters of men. Generally, those who marry the “daughters or sons of the land do not enjoy marital bliss.
And Dinah the daughter of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.
- Set the Tone: Make your home a destination !
Biblically, it is our responsibility to set the tone of love and warmth in our home. Most people think that task belongs to the wife. She is responsible for certain aspects, but do not miss the fact that the man’s responsibility is to set the tone.
If I am loving my wife as I love my own body – making sure she is fed physically and spiritually, rested, secure, cherished and cared for – then the right tone will be set. A beautiful and enjoyable destination will be established, a place worth returning to over and over again!
- To truly experience the light that is your destination, you must experience it for yourself.
It emanates from our hearts. It is visible everywhere. It changes everything it touches. It will change you.
Let your home be light-filled. I don’t mean having a lamp on in every room. I mean to be Christ-centered and emanates the true Light of the World. We don’t have the perfect family or the perfect home, but what we do have is The Light. It emanates from our hearts and is visible everywhere. It changes everything it touches, and it will change you. The light that is calling is Jesus. Is He the light in your home?
- Be kind, tenderhearted, and forgiving.
Do you want the secret to a happy Home? Then you need to follow one verse: “Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you.” This one command is the single most important verse regarding marriage and the home.
I read about a godly man who had been married over fifty years, which at the time seemed like an eternity to me. The interesting thing was the joy, exuberance, and sweet flirtation I always observed in his marriage. I have never forgotten something he practised. Each morning, he rose very early to go to work. He would fix the coffee pot and leave a china cup out for his wife, as opposed to his old mug. However, the thing that really stuck with me is that he would leave a little love note underneath her cup and saucer. He would tear a piece of paper towel, a part of an envelope, a newspaper coupon, or whatever was handy and jot a few loving words down for her eyes only.
Her first encounter every morning was a love note. Nothing poetic, simply short, sweet, and true words! “You are my sweetheart.” “I love you.” “You are beautiful.” “Have a great day, Love.” “It’s rainy today, but you are my sunshine!” And so it went. Little thoughts, little gestures…HUGE results.
Do you want your marriage to sizzle and to last? Be kind, tenderhearted, and forgiving.
