IN PURSUIT OF THE GOOD MARRIAGE.
By Pst Richard Minet
Gen. 24:67
And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her: and Isaac WAS COMFORTED after his mother's death.
Genesis 24:1-67 is indeed a catalogue of all that a joyful, lasting and COMFORTING MARRIAGE relationship represents. It covers everything about the subject of marriage, right from the conception of the marriage, to the search, the finding, the making and receiving of the proposal to the consummation of the marriage itself.
Several things in life can and have indeed been bequeathed; wealth, empire, estate, etc, but a good marriage? No!. No skill, carefulness, culture, philosophy, education, wealth, power, fashion or beauty can offer this, a good marriage can only be given by God, the initiator of marriage.
Prov. 19:14
House and wealth are inherited from fathers, but a prudent wife is from the Lord.
No generation has suffered terribly like ours in matters of relationship and marriage. Everyday we keep hearing of how more and more relationships or marriages are either taking the lives of one time sworn lovers or destroying their dreams and consequently their destinies.
The reason behind most of these horrible tales are basically foundational. Most of those who suffer breakage, violation, loss of life or severe marital life threatening injuries, either got it outrightly wrong from the very start or neglected something key that should not have been overlooked in their background. *Ps. 11:3* *If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?
No matter how beautiful or expensively decorated a house is, if it's foundation is faulty, it's just a matter of time before the cracks start surfacing and thereafter, it starts caving and eventually it's collapse.
All the secrets to a COMFORTING MARRIAGE, when, who, where and how to find the right partner, are all very key to enjoying marital bliss and these Gen. 24:1-67 well covers.
