Marriage is a covenant, the earlier we understand this, the better for everyone concerned. A covenant is the most solemn, binding from of commitment that the Bible describes. No lasting form of relationship can be built according to biblical principles without a covenant. Proverb 2:16-17 review that the woman who is unfaithful to her husband breaks the covenant she made before God.
Malachi 2:14 review that God is speaking to husband who deal "treacherously" with their wives, that is who cheat on her wives. What God is saying In essence here is that - " it doesn't matter how frequently a man prays or how much time he spends in the presence of God or in the church. If you are unfaithful to your covenant Commitment with your wife, I will not listen or hearken to your prayers, you are just making noise and wasting your time. "God declares such men as covenant breakers.
" for both men and women, therefore, unfaithfulness to the marriage commitment is breaking covenant".
We must not allow the obstacles and vicissitudes of life get in the way of building a strong marriage. When we fail to sacrificial love our wife as Christ loved the church (ephesians 5:25), we begin to compromise this most cherished relationship.
