Marriage

He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favour from the Lord.
Proverbs 18:22 ESV

I can testify to the truth of this verse. Hopefully she who finds a husband can say the same thing! When God created the world, the only thing that wasn’t good was that man was alone. That’s why He created woman.

Only once women were created was creation described by God as ‘very good’. Nowadays, most of the powers that be struggle to define what a woman is. Contrary to popular opinion, a woman is someone created that way, not someone who might happen to feel like a woman.

Note that Solomon doesn’t say ‘she who finds a wife’ or ‘he who finds a husband’. Godly marriage is between one man and one woman for life. ‘Gay marriage’ is a figment of depraved human imagination.

I need to clarify that we don’t need to be married to find goodness and divine favour. Even Jesus Himself wasn’t married, and the likes of Jeremiah too. This doesn’t detract from the genuine blessing that marriage is however.

‘Father God, thank You for the blessing of marriage. May we honour it as it deserves, and be thankful for the good marriages we know. In Christ’s name, amen’
