Saw an interesting programme on TBN UK today. About what the Bible says and guides us about the meaning of marriage.
One point that i found food for thought was that one in two relationships end in divorce these days! I don't know if that is accurate, i hope not. That's depressing.
The reason was being discussed. Apparently this dismal statistic could be because people expect to find 'THE ONE' upon whom they then pin all their hopes and expectations that all their problems will be solved. That this amazing person will change their lives and give them happiness forever. Soul mates.
That of course we know as christians is impossible. No one human being can fulfill all our needs. We are all imperfect after all and only one person is perfect - Jesus Christ.
So, a marriage or relationship based on assuming our chosen spouse will totally fulfill us is not built on a firm foundation. Whereas if we choose to have Jesus in that life together we surely head for success as He will never fail us.
What do you think?
