The Cord of 3 Strands

February 10, 2008

The key to a good marriage is...

The Law of Gravity. The Law of God. We ignore either at our own risk.

Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers. Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away. Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous. For the LORD watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.
Psalm 1:1-6

The only perfect marriage existed in the Garden of Eden ... for a while.

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.
Genesis 1:27

Order matters in our marriages and relationships.

Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.
Ecclesiastes 4:12

  1. Jesus

  2. Spouse (_________________)

  3. Yourself
