DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS IN MARRIAGE
1. The department of Relationship.
This is the aspect of the marriage where the man and the lady(couple) interact as friends, this is the major aspect of marriage. This is where the act of companionship is proved. When the Bible says that I will make a suitable companion for him, it has to do with this department. It flows with mutual respect and love. It involves healthy communication skills and understanding. This is where your character shows. Your intelligence, your perseverance, your level of tolerance, patience and forgiveness are revealed here. Sexual fulfillment depends on the outcome of this department. If there is a problem in this department of your marriage then either or both parties in the marriage may become miserable, God's desire may be hindered and the marriage may come to an end.
2. The department of Spirituality
In this department, your relationship with God as a couple matters. The closer you are to God, the more your nature or character is refined, the closer you become as a couple and the lovely your relationship becomes. This department handles every assault of the devil. Understand that the devil is mad against marriages and the families and his weapons are the sinful nature called the flesh in you, the sinful traits not dealt with, the negative notions, the negative conclusions you have against your spouse that is driving your utterances, your actions and attitudes towards your spouse, your unwillingness to forgive. The devil also uses natural laws to attack. When the devil captures a marriage or a family, he has captured a generation. The spirit rules over the physical. If this department is intact a lot of issues will be handled in the marriage. This department can control all the other departments. When God is in charge then everything is under control.
3. The department of Responsibilities
Marriage is a responsibility, there are needs to meet. You have needs to be met, the person you married has needs to be met. The marriage has needs to be handled. In marriage, we meet each other's needs, you are concerned about the needs and the interest of your spouse and how to meet them. You find out what the needs of your spouse are through interaction and observation. This is where self centeredness is not allowed. Selfishness and insensitivity of the needs of your spouse is the killer of this department and it can affect the whole marriage. Team work is absolutely necessary here. Without team work there will be problems. Understanding is also required here. Money is needed here to handle some needs. So, both parties have to work it out. This department also handles goals, projects and future plans for both individuals and that of the family. If this department has problems, severe tension will hit the marriage.
4. The department of external affairs
This involves how both of you handle your parents and siblings, information or advice from people, social relationships, relationships with the opposite s*x, meeting the needs of those outside your marriage. If this department is mishandled, wahala pro Max will be the result of the marriage. You can't take your spouse for granted and expect peace.
5. The Department of Raising Children
This department matters to the health of the marriage. The children are not to be used to replace the love both husband and wife should share. And they should not be used as a reason why the couple is not at peace. Raising Children is a big responsibility. However, it is God that gives children. If children do not come then go to the government and adopt children. Whether a male child or a female child is decided by the predominant male or female Gene in the man. The woman does not determine the gender of a child, it is decided by the man.
So, if you are deciding on who to marry, judge careful and tick the five boxes before you say "Yes, and match to the altar." If you are already married then work hard and make sure those five departments of your marriage are intact, else it will scatter.
May God save your marriage/ family.
