Marriage

When I decided to get married, most of my married friends asked me if I’m really sure with my decision. They told me that it’s not easy being married and I will have to go through a lot of adjustments, testings and trials. But when hubby and I had our pre-marital counseling, we were so blessed to have heard our pastor telling us that it’s good to be married. He was the first person I’ve heard with that kind of statement. Becuase of this kind of statement, my mind was conditioned to have a happy marriage. Indeed it’s good to be married. It’s a good feeling when someone is there to protect you, guide you, support you and love you no matter what. It’s true that there will be periods of adjustments but when God is in control of the marriage, no problem can ever take you apart as a couple. I’m not saying that my marriage is perfect but I’m allowing God to take full control of it so that I can have a happy marriage.

As I read Andrea at Embracing Him, I was really inspired and encourage writing a post about my marriage. I am still young to be sharing about my marriage but I know this is all for the glory of God.

A sanctuary is a place of refuge and protection; shelter. Our marriage should be a place of refuge and protection for each other. It is allowing your partner to feel that with God’s help they are safe with you no matter what the situation may become. In scarcity and in abundance, in sickness and in health or no matter what the situation may be. It is allowing them to know that they still love you and accept you no matter what.

Two years ago, my husband has been diagnosed with Mitral Valve Prolapse (MVP) and suffered a lot of uncomfortable moments at that time. He can’t enjoy life the way he wanted to and he did come to the point of being depressed. I was with him during that moment but sometimes I get affected with how he feels and ending up not understanding his situation. I just end up praying and praying and praying, and God’s grace was so abundant in our lives that He allowed me to feel what my husband is going through. I praise God that he healed my husband from that sickness.

I can say that our marriage can only be a place of protection, a place of refuge when God is in it. When God is involve in every aspect of our marriage we can never get wrong with everything we do. We can always have a sanctuary in our marriage.
