Why
God Is In Control Of Our Marriage
As soon as we wedded, that night we prayerfully handed over our union in the hands of God to control and govern, because he established it according to the Bible Gen. 2:18, which says that Adam was alone and he prompted him to create Eve as his help meet. And we have observed that as many as that in the Bible who planted God in their various marriages weren’t disappointed, even up to tomorrow.

Why
We Pray Together
Through prayers we are making everything possible
Truly speaking our marriage is really surviving because we are praying together always. Apostle Matthew in his book, Matt .18:19 advised us that If two shall agree on earth, ( in our family) and ask for anything it shall be done for us.

Why
We Are Poor In Spirit
We are really poor in spirit because the book Matthew 5:3 taught us that Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. We are not quarreling nor fighting because of our God’s, even though my spouse slapped me angrily. Or curse me I behave myself as if nothing negative happened. So that we shall not give devil chance to come into our matrimonial home and destroy us. At the end my spouse who slapped me and cursed me will be on his knees and say mom please I am very sorry. I have offended you and against God please forgive me so that God will also forgive me. And I will look at him right in his eyes and tears rolled out from my own eyes. Which will make me to embrace him immediately and said to him I forgiven you in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. And after that moment we started a new life of joy and happiness again.

Why
We Are Behaving Like Children
To be sincere with you, we are behaving like children and humbling ourselves to each other at home. Which makes us to enjoy our marriage today according to the book of Matthew 18:3- 4 which says, Verily I say to you except you be converted and become as a little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven… In the same manner if married man and woman did not Behave like children they cannot enjoy their marriage.

Why
We Don’t Denial Each Other Sexual Intercourse
The survival of our marriage is because we do not denial each other sexual intercourse, which is our pleasure. We only abstain from sex when we are praying and fasting either together or individual for the purpose of betterment of our family, according to the teaching of Apostle Paul in the book of 1 Corinthians 7:5
6
Why
We Hand Over Our Problems To God Thru Prayers
Friends, our marriage survival today was because whenever problems come or challenges which are beyond our control. We do not invite people first but we will call God our Creator thru prayers to take it and solve it for us. Just as it’s written in the book of Ps 50:15 Call upon me in the day of trouble, I will deliver you and you shall glorify me and the book of Jeremiah 33:3. And before we knew it the problem will disappear out of thin air.

Why
We Didn’t Give Satan Any Room In Our House
Brethren, take it or leave it, our marriage is surviving at this moment because we didn’t give give satan the devil room in our matrimonial home. Neither give him a little chance to come in in our marriage, no matter the circumstances or situations we found ourselves. Because Bible says that, be sober, be vigilant because your advastery , enemy, satan the devil is moving like a lion looking whom he may devour, 1 Peter 5:8. And Jesus advised us to be gentle like dove and wise like serpent.

Why
I Love My Spouse As I Love Myself
Our marriage is surviving because I love my spouse as I love myself, the manner I am taking myself that is how I am taking my spouse anywhere I am, go or belongs. No segregation of any kind just as the book of Ephesians 5:28 encouraged us that So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loved his wife loved himself. And Jesus admonished us to love one another as we love ourselves
9
Why
We Are Committed To Each Other
The survival of our marriage is because we are committed to each other in all areas of life. Just as Jesus Christ committed himself in the work of his father in heaven. Ephesians 5:25 which says that Husbands love your wives even as Christ also loved the church and gave himself for it. That is life committed which every couple must commit to each other. He said earlier that he for the business of his father which is in heaven.
10
Why
We Are Speaking Good Of Ourselves Daily
We keep on growing in love because we are speaking good of ourselves daily. Speaking what we will love to hear from each other. Because King Solomon in his teachings in the book of Prov. 18:21 which says that Death and life are in the power of the tongue and they that love it shall eat it’s fruits. You see if you do not control your tongue will use it negatively to destroy yourself and Marriage. Apostle James said that tongue is fire.
11
Why
We Don’t Allow Our Parents To Dictate For Us
We are still enjoying our marriage because we don’t allow our parents nor relatives or friends to dictate for us. Or tell us what to do to each other or live our family life. Because the book of Matthew 19:5 says that For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, shall cleave to his wife and the two shall be one flesh? Verse 6 Wherefore they are no more two but one flesh and whatever God had joined together let no man put asunder.
12
Why
Two Heads Are Better Than One
Our marriage is surviving because we are believing that two persons, husband and wife are better than single individual. King Solomon said it in his book of Ecclesiastes 4:9. And God created everything on earth male and female even animals even the trees in the bush according to Gen 1:27.
13
Why
We Are Not Associating With Evil Communicators Or Association
We are enjoying our marriage now because we are over looking at everything that will cause divorce in our union. And even we are giving rooms to intruders neither paying attention to gossips of people around us. Who are coming to us with great laughing and smiling faces in order to mar our marriage, by telling us other people’s awful faults which real and not. Because Apostle Paul said in his teachings in the book of 1 Corinthians 15:33 … Evil communication corrupt good manners.
14
Why
We Do Remember Our First Love
Our marriage is on today because from time to time we are bearing in minds, remembering our first love which made us to marry each other without looking at the back, neither listen to anybody in our both families. You see, before we wedded our parents and some of our siblings discarded the ideas of marriage with one reason or the other which is best known to them. But we maintained our love, disregarded them , went ahead and married ourselves. So it was God who helped us to brought the marriage in existence in our lives. So whenever dispute or conflict arises between us. And as soon as we remember how our parents and siblings said no to our union and we insisted that we must marry ourselves. Immediately our hearts melted, tears rolled out from our eyes. We cried like babies, we embraced, hugged , kissed , equally went to bed and have sex and that settled every problem on the ground. Which the book of Revelation 2:4 helped not to forget our first love towards each other.
15
Why
We Are Industrious, No Lazy Partner
In fact, our marriage is surviving because we are Industrious, none of us is lazy nor idle. We joined our hands together to work out money and other resources in order to help ourselves. And solve all our family problems without depending in other people for help. Because the book of 2 Thessalonians 3:10 which says that If any would not work neither he he eat..
16
Why
We Are Open To Each Other
Frankly speaking, our marriage is beautiful today because there is hidden agenda in our family. I am open in all ramifications of life to my spouse. I do tell him everything with all my heart. My spouse knows my ins and outs, he knows all my relatives, he knows all my friends both male and female. He knows what I can do and not, what I can say and not, including where I go and not both privately and publicly. Likewise my spouse because Apostle Paul in his teachings in the book of 1 Corinthians 13:6 He taught them that We should rejoice in the truth not in iniquity.
17
Why
We Are Assisting Ourselves In The House
The survival of our marriage is because I do assist my partner in the house to cook food, wash clothes, plates, clean or tidy the house and so on. One adage says that if you leave the world for one person, it will kill him. Another one says, playing of dogs are, if you fall on me and I will fall on you. And another one concluded it this way, if right hand wash the left, and the left hand will wash the right which makes the world move smoothly without potholes. And Apostle James in the cause of his teachings in his book chapter 2:17-16 says that Faith without work is dead, I will show you my faith with my work.
18
Why
We Study Bible Together
If you don’t study, eat and do everything together I wonder the person you will do it with
Our marriage continuosly moving on with full of excitement because we studying Bible word of God together. And encourage and counsel ourselves with it. And confess our offenses to each other, forgive ourselves which makes us behave and correct ourselves both privately and publicly. Because Apostle Paul said to Timothy in 2 Timothy 2:15 Study to show yourself approved…
18
Why
We Are Proud Of Ourselves
We are really proud of ourselves that is the reason our marriage is surviving. We tell each other, I love you more than anything you think or imagine on earth, I cherish your ideas, your talking is godly, very beautiful it is like the voice of angel. Because it’s written in Gen .2:23 Adam saw his wife Eve and he called her, bone of bones, flesh of flesh…
Please don’t love your spouse with love of orange, when you get orange, you open it and taste it, it is very sweet. You will put it in your mouth and squeeze all the juice in it because of the sweetness in it. And after licking it and you will throw it up and kick away with your leg.
20
Why
We Do Not Allow Children’s Love To Put Asunder
When we started getting children we didn’t allow their love to put asunder in our marriage. Because we didn’t bear them in mind first but help meet and we are not giver of children but God rather blessings after wedding day. So whether children or not we must live in peace and maintain our first love which is agape. I must love my spouse the same thing with her. And more over children are the third party in the family not first nor second. Prophet Moses said in book in Gen .2:18 that God saw Adam alone, He said that it’s not good for a man to live alone. Not because of children but wife.
21
Why
We Are Humble To Each Other
Our marriage is surviving because we humble ourselves to each other, no arrogant life in the house. I do behave as if I am serving and learning from my partner likewise him to me. Whenever I offends him I will go to my knees to him and say sorry please I have offended you, forgive me. And he will do so as lift me up to himself and embrace me with kiss. Because King Solomon said in book in Prov .15:33 that … Before honor is humility.
22
Why
We Behave Ourselves In The Public
As A matter Fact, Our marriage is alive today because I do behave myself, make my spouse happy through behaving myself outside our house and in the absence not do anything silly that will jeopardize of reputation in the public. We try ourselves to protect our image so much in everything we do. Because 2 Timothy 2:15 says, Study to show yourself approved…
23
why
We Give To Others
Our marriage keep on surviving because we give both individually and collectively to other people around us and both in the church and community. Including the poor and physical challenged in the society at large, because Jesus said in the book of Luke 6;38 Give and it shall be given to you good measure , pressed down , shaken together , running over shall men give to your bosom. For the same measure you give shall be measured to you.
24
Why
We Didn’t Allow Lack To Separate Us
Our marriage is on today because we didn’t allow lack of money and material things to separate us or cause us quarreling and fighting in the house. Because we have agreed to marry ourselves not material things nor money, so whether there is money or not our marriage remains. And we believe that if there is no money today tomorrow it we shall it. Our God we believe in and serve will permit us to die in hunger according to the book of Deut. 8.18 which says that God is He that gives one power to make wealth, it is written in Luke 1;37 For with God all things are possible. That is our power.
25
Why
We Avoided Disagreement And Argument
We are really enjoying our marriage because I and My spouse decided and stop to engage in any foolish argument that may ruin or mar our beautiful marriage and the same thing with disagreement . In fact, we avoided to discuss any issue or matter that may cause us anything conflict in anyway or form. Even we also avoided anyhow individual and group in our house. Because the book of Matthew 5;29-30, warned us to cut off any hand and also pluck out any eye that will lead us into hell fire, which is also applicable to the enjoyment of our marital life. One adage said that you must remove something from the meat before eating it. That is how enjoyment of marriage is.
26
Why
We Took Care Of Our Elderly Parents
We are really enjoying our marriage survival because after our wedding we never stop taking care of both parents, although they didn’t accepted our union initially, but that didn’t stop us from visiting them, sending money and materials to them. And the more we help them they more they pray for us and encourage us to live in peace and love ourselves as Jesus Christ loved the church and gave His life to it. We are doing that because the book Moses said in Exodus 20;12 which says ,Honor your father and mother so that your days may be long on earth… In this world if your father or mother bless you , you are blessed by God, the same thing with curse. However we helped our parents because we believed that in the same manner we took care of them in future our own children will also take of us as it is written in the book Apostle Paul Gal.6;7… which concluded that For whatsoever a man sowed that shall he reap also.
27
Why
We Respect Our Children
To be sincere with you ,we are enjoying our marriage because of children. When we look at their faces and thing or imagine about the bad condition they will be when we mistakingly divorce our marriage. We hold ourselves , said satan you are a liar, you will never destroy our marriage and children. We came back to our senses like the prodigal son in the bible and pray to God to uphold us with His love which cannot fail. We hold ourselves ,forget whatever brought dispute and embrace our children together and pray with them . Because if our marriage breaks, the lives of our children have broken at that very moment. Proverbs 22;6 encouraged to train up children so that when they grow they will not depart from it.
28
Why
We Didn’t Neglect Our Parental Advice
Our marriage is surviving today because we are always remembering the teachings of our parents especially the ones they taught us after our wedding day. That night my father came to us and said, my son now you have married, as I married your mother, after our wedding till we are living in peace. I and your mother are fighting nor quarreling but offence is inevitable but I do over look at it, the same with your mother. If you engage fighting, you may kill her or she kill you. Therefore say no to it so that none of you will commit crime and end up in jail. Be committed in prayer and fasting that is the only thing that can save your marriage and your lives from destruction. After few days our mother came in and offered her own advice. She called me her handsome son thank God that He has given you your own heart desire. I love you and your wife with love of God which is agape, please do not disobey the advice of your father, your know me and your father weren’t quarrelsome parents, follow our footsteps and God will bless you more than your expectations. Please my son do not fight nor quarreling but both of you should live life that should please God so that he will bless you as He said in Deutronomy 28:1-13. We held our parental words strong till this day.
29
Why
When My Annoyed I Do Keep Quiet
The major thing that makes us to enjoy our marriage today is whenever my spouse is annoyed, angry I must keep quiet, I will never speak a word. And I will not behave rudely in his face or presence until that spirit of annoyance left him. You see within that period I never add salt into the injury. Because anger is a little madness that can tear marriage into pieces within a second. A soft answer turns away anger but grievous words stir up anger, Proverbs 15:1, King Solomon taught us that.
30
Why
We Didn’t Abuse Our Sex
Our marriage is surviving today because we didn’t allowed sexual Interlopers or intruders to share our holy thing inside our bodies. That is, we didn’t indulge ourselves immorality, we are obedient to ourselves especially during trial period when there was no food and money in the house. Lack didn’t force us into such illicit acts. Because the book of 1 Corinthians 3:16-17 taught us that our bodies are the temple of the holy God and who so ever destroy it through immorality God will destroy the person. And the book of Exodus 20:14 caution us that We shall not commit adultery.
31
Why
We Are Attending The Same Church
Another thing that helps us to enjoy our marriage bliss is because we are attending the same church, serve and worship our God, no dispute in our faith. My spouse is committed in in prayer warriors’group likewise me. I am full member of men’s ministry and my wife is also in women group. Whatever gospel of Jesus the preacher preaches in the church, we must record it and if get home. During our family devotional Bible study, we will take it as case study and rehearse it again to enable us master and practice it. And take it to correct ourselves from mistakes which had made in the past. And the corrections will add more love into our marriage. Because our Bible let us know that we should not forsake the assembly of the saints, being the church Jesus erected with His precious blood. Hebrews 10:25.
32
Why
We Pay Much Attention To Each Other
In fact, brethren, we are surviving in our marriage because we are paying much attention to ourselves in all areas of life first before any other thing at home. Both in good and bad situations, such like the time of illness or pains. King Solomon taught us in his book Ecclesiastes 3:8 that A time to love and a time of peace. We are really observing these every day in our marriage and allow each time to take it’s cause without separating us or negatively affect our union.
33
Why
We Learn From Others
We are surviving in our marriage now because we are learning from other people’s mistakes. We do not allow what happened to others happen to us. As a result, we opened our ears wide to hear exactly what separated or caused them divorce or sue one another in law court and avoid intoto. So whenever we heard what separated other people and marred their marriage, we will discuss it together, agree not to behave that way or do that thing to each other in the house. King Solomon admonished us during the cause of his teachings in his book Proverbs 4:7 Get wisdom and with all your getting get understanding. And we also pray to God to make us to live peace like couples who are living in peace.
34
Why
We Are Reasoning Together
This is another aspect of life that makes us to enjoy our marriage and live together. Is reasoning together with my wife at home. You see whatever project we want to do in family, I and my wife must sit down and discuss it over and over to enable us have good agreement. Because prophet Isaiah said that God to the people in the world come now and let us reason together in his by Isaiah 1:18.
35
Why
We Control Ourselves
Another thing that keeps our marriage moving on and on is self control. Because if you can control yourself you can control everything around you, which includes your spouse, children, relatives and everything you can see with your physical eyes, hear their voices with your ears or feel it on your body.
36
Why
Outsiders Don’t Know What Are Doing
This is another area that is making us to enjoy our marriage to the brimful. Because we don’t give outsiders, both relatives, neighbors and friends to know what I and my husband doing. Whether we are rich or poor, we eat and don’t or hungry. We didn’t give them chance to know even some of them will come to us with theirs how big they are or small, but only listen but cannot contribute , only I see comment I and husband used to say, I seeeee or I hear you. Because Apostle James taught us that our tongues are fire, a world of iniquity, so is the tongue our members . That defiled the body and families and setted it on fire the course of nature and it is set on fire of hell, James 3:6.
37
Why
We Have The Same Taste
Our marriage is still alive this day because I married my taste. As a result, we are having the same taste in everything you can think of or talk about. Both in clothing, foods, drinks, makeups even physically we look alike, to the extent some people call us twins whenever they see us on the way or functions. We live the same life style. We thank God because it’s His make up not us may His name be highly exalted forever and ever. Amen.
It Is God That Gives The Spirit Which Makes Couple Enjoy Their Marriage, In The Same Manner He gives One Power To Make Wealth
