Marriage Minute December 2,2018
Malachi 2:13-16 “And this second thing you do. You cover the Lord’s altar with tears, with weeping and groaning because he no longer regards the offering or accepts it with favor from your hand. But you say, ‘Why does he not?’ Because the Lord was witness between you and the wife of your youth, to whom you have been faithless, though she is your companion and your wife by covenant. Did he not make them one, with a portion of the Spirit in their union? And what was the one God seeking? Godly offspring. So, guard yourselves in your spirit, and let none of you be faithless to the wife of your youth. ‘For the man who does not love his wife but divorces her’, says the Lord, the God of Israel, ‘covers his garment with violence,’ says the Lord of hosts. So, guard yourselves in your spirit, and do not be faithless.”
God designed marriage to be a covenant, not a contract or a nonbinding agreement. There are differences between a covenant and a contract. A contract is an agreement between parties. However a covenant is a pledge. When taking a covenant vow, it means that you “seal” or “sign” a contract.
A contract is a mutually beneficial relationship. Yet a covenant is commitment that is required to be fulfilled until it ends. A contract exchanges goods for another. A covenant is a sacrificial gift of oneself to the other person.
“She is your companion and your wife by covenant” She is your life partner; she is a joint-heir, your sister, spouse, helper, friend, wife.
Prayer: Father, help me to honor my covenant to You and my spouse.
