Covenant Marriage :: [Ep. 11]
Is your marriage a covenant or a contract? Which do you want it to be? How did it start and how do you want it to finish?
A contract is man-driven. A covenant is God-created and sustained. A contract is temporary at best. A covenant by design is permanent.
In marriage: A covenant says: I choose to trust you, even when you make mistakes.
A contract says: I will trust you when you earn it.
A covenant says: How can I love you with Christ’s love?
A contract says: How will you serve me and make me happy?
A covenant says: I will give you all of my resources.
A contract says: You depleted my resources, you owe me.
A covenant is based on trust between parties. A contract is based on distrust.
A covenant is based on unlimited responsibility. A contract is based on limited liability.
At the very fiber of our being, our Creator put in us a deep desire for covenant relationship. Even if you're in a "Contract" marriage, things can change from this Day forward.
For further study and encouragement, read Matthew 26:26-28, Psalm 105 and Psalm 116 in the Message version.
