Some will argue that marriage isn\u2019t just a piece of paper, so they fornicate and live with someone thinking that this is okay. It\u2019s not. Marriage is a holy institution designed by God Almighty. It\u2019s what makes strong families and strong nations. As families fall, so do nations as we are witnessing in our once great nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s God\u2019s definition of marriage: \u201cHave ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.\u201d (Matthew 19:4-6)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ken and I married almost 41 years ago. Here is a song that was sung at our wedding. It describes God\u2019s perfect plan for marriage. You can listen to Alan Jackson sing it&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Zdwq4rZIF8M\">HERE.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With this ring I thee wed<br>And I give to you my life<br>Mine is yours and yours is mine<br>And we can live that way forever<br>With this kiss we will seal<br>That we now are man and wife<br>Two in one, one in two<br>That\u2019s the way it\u2019s got to be<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With this love we can live<br>We can\u2019t keep it to ourselves<br>He is mine, He is yours<br>We can live our lives in telling<br>I give my heart, I give my soul<br>I give you all my worldly goods<br>Two in one, one in two<br>That\u2019s the way it\u2019s got to be<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I will cling to you, you will cling to me<br>And in the shadow of the cross we\u2019ll live on bended knee<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With this prayer I commit<br>That we both become as one<br>He in us, we in Him<br>Saying vows to one another<br>Hold them fast in your heart<br>Till the day we see the Son<br>Two in one, one in two<br>That\u2019s the way it\u2019s got to be<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I will cling to you, you will cling to me<br>And in the shadow of the cross we\u2019ll live on bended knee<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With this prayer I commit<br>That we both become as one<br>He in us, we in Him<br>Saying vows to one another<br>Hold them fast in your heart<br>Till the day we see the Son<br>Two in one, one in two<br>That\u2019s the way it\u2019s got to be<br>Two in one, one in two<br>That\u2019s the way it\u2019s got to be<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s the way it\u2019s got to be<br>That\u2019s the way it\u2019s got to be<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Marriage is not fornicating and living together. It\u2019s a commitment for life between a man and a woman. It\u2019s a love that bears all things, hopes all things, endures all things, and never fails. It\u2019s becoming husband and wife, one flesh. It\u2019s a mystery, but it\u2019s good since it was created by our Creator. It\u2019s worth saving yourself for, young women. It\u2019s an incredible blessing growing old with one man, sharing children together, and now grandchildren. The blessings are abundant!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.<\/strong><\/em><br>Hebrews 13:4<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THIS IS MARRIAGE THE WAY GOD INTENDED THIS is Marriage the Way God Intended \u2013 The Transformed Wife &nbsp;November 5, 2021&nbsp;&nbsp;Lori Alexander&nbsp;Comments&nbsp;0 Comment Many want to redefine marriage these days.
