Marriage is a Covenant

The definition of covenant:  a written agreement or promise usually under seal between two or more parties especially for the performance of some action
So we enter into a covenant with each other for marriage. It is supposed to be a lifetime commitment. What happened? God's new covenant with us is for eternity! He expects us to honor our marriage covenant unto death as He honors His covenant with us.
1 Cor.7:27-28 Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek to be free. Are you free from a wife? Do not seek a wife. But if you do marry, you have not sinned, and if a betrothed woman marries, she has not sinned. Yet those who marry will have worldly troubles, and I would spare you that. You see for yourself that God says we will have worldly troubles if we marry. It is because we try to make each other happy instead of keeping God first. Seek God and He will give you both the right feelings you need for a happy healthy marriage. The devil knows our every weakness. He is always there to entice you about other people outside your marriage and he will use your weakness to create misery in a marriage. Run from this for it will be your downfall. Love your spouse like it is the last day you will ever see them. Put them first over your selfish wants and be amazed at the difference you will see. Infidelity is not only with people but with things. You can love your hunting, fishing golfing etc. or your shopping, grand kids, crafting, etc. just as much as you could love a mistress or a lover. Pray everyday for the Lord to keep your marriage safe from worldly troubles. Repent from sin and run if you are being tempted!!!1 Cor.7:39  A wife is bound to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is free to be married to whom she wishes, only in the Lord. Eph.5:22 Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord.Eph.5:25-27 Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish. 1 Tim.3:12 Let deacons each be the husband of one wife, managing their children and their own households well.God himself describes His relationship to us, his bride, in terms of a marriage. Rev.21:1-6 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away." And he who was seated on the throne said, "Behold, I am making all things new." Also he said, "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true." And he said to me, "It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the thirsty I will give from the spring of the water of life without payment.
