“Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity: for that is thy portion in this life, and in thy labour which thou takest under the sun.”
Ecclesiastes 9:9 KJV
Solomon says, “Live happily with the woman you love through all the meaningless days of life that God has given you under the sun. The wife God gives you is your reward for all your earthly toil.” Solomon spouted God’s truth but never practiced it. However, it is the truth of God. Marriage didn’t come by evolution, or by man’s doing, it came to be because God instituted it. The marriage covenant was established as a foundational, "one-flesh" union, for a permanent joining of a man and a woman. For the reason of marriage, a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. The Lord Jesus Christ affirmed this truth when questioned about marriage. In the liberal culture that is happening where sexual immorality, gender transition etc are increasing, we are to honour the sanctity of marriage as God has instituted, and keep our vows of purity to one another, for God will judge sexual immorality in any form, whether single or married. Let’s be happy in our marriage and those who are not married, be happy in being single and being devoted to God even more. Marriage is honourable and godliness with contentment is great wealth. Amen!
