When the šŖšÆš“šµšŖšµš¶šµšŖš°šÆ of marriage is prioritized over the šŖšÆš„šŖš·šŖš„š¶š¢šš“ within it, marriage becomes an idol.
Yesāagreements and covenants matter deeply. But that sacred commitment can only exist when both people honor and uphold it.
When one partner abandons, neglects, misuses, or abuses the other, the covenant has already been broken. Asking the harmed person to stay silent or āpreserve the marriageā in the face of betrayal or violence š„šŖš®šŖšÆšŖš“š©š¦š“ the very holiness we claim to protect.
Honoring marriage means honoring truth. It means naming harm, not hiding it. It means valuing safetyāphysical, emotional, psychological, spiritual, and financialāabove appearances.
šļø A truly high view of marriage begins with a high view of the image-bearers šøšŖšµš©šŖšÆ it. Safety first. Always.
