This is for my married or soon to be married brothers and sisters. Singles, if you have an ear, Listen and understand.
Marriage, a symbol of the Church married to Christ, Israel married to God the Father. In which he is the bridegroom and we are his bride.
My Brother: Love thy Wife as Christ Loves you. He has given you a precious gem located in the depths of a hidden valley. Sparkling, shining as a pearl from the oceans deep. Treat her as a rare diamond, your help meet. Do as you would to your Wife as if you were in the Presence of the Holy of Holies in heaven. First, cleanse thyself from the cares of this world, wash thy spirit in the presence of Prayer. Then come together with thy Wife in worship through intercourse. For our members are the temple of God and belongs to Christ. As the Holy of Holies is Pure and cleansed with the blood of the Messiah, look at thy Wife in the same manner. Do not Treat her as a harlot or a whore as if you were a heathen, a pagan idolater but as thy Self, whom belongs to Christ. For Adam spoke to Eve and said “This is NOW bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.” So, Likewise, sacrifice for thy Wife, give thyself to her for when you do, you are giving unto your own inner-parts and thus you benefit when she is pleased and full of your Love.
My Sister: Treat thy Husband with respect as it is due to him. You are his rib, his help in times of a storm. You are the gentle melodies that soothes his heart when the storms have matured and aged over him and doubt begins to pour upon him. Rub on him, comfort his emotions, he is in battle, in front of you as a shield, physically and spiritually, the priest in y'all home. When his faith moves to and fro, remind him who's battle it really is and that his manhood is found in Christ and Christ alone. Know that you are his WIFE, cherish your submissive position as he should cherish his. With long-suffering through child bearing and nurturing God's creation,know that your minister is NEVER in vain.
My Brother and My Sister: Be both humble and submissive to our Lord Jesus Christ. When two, in this case are gathered together in his name, there he is in the mist. Remain believers in Christ despite the Trials, for they will come, but rejoice, for Jesus has over come this wicked world. He has crushed the serpents head. Do not withhold intercourse from one another if either one is in need, lest the devil shall tempt one to Sin. If anyone shall Sin, may the other embrace them with mercy and loving kindness of our Father. Do not divorce,for when we Sin, Christ does not forsake us. Instead of condemnation, we have found grace in the Sight of God. Allow for your spouse to find Grace in your Sight when/If Sin abounds, for they are your own flesh.
Now as the Lord says to mankind “be fruitful and multiple”.
