Be Professional Students of Marriage

A professional student is someone that continually is learning. We should be professional students of God, meaning that we sould always be striving to further develop our relationship with God. We are given a text book known as the Bible to teach us how marriage is supposed to be done according to God.

God created marriage, so as married couples we should always be finding ways to strengthen our marriage. We are to use the Bible as our main source. However it is also vitally important to not only do marital Bible study together as one but to bring in other resources as well.

Make sure that if you bring in other resources, they are extracted from the Bible. They can be retreats, videos, books, websites etc. They can jump start your love for each other by bringing it closer to today. Always be willing to communicate, express, and discus your marriage in a open and honest manner, keeping God at the forefront.

Todays marriage is under constant attack. When marriages fail, it has a direct affect on every other institution from education to financial to also fail. It is not a coincedence that when the divorce rate increased the quality of the educational system also failed and the world went into financial ruin.

There is no where in the Bible that says marriage is easy. In order for marriages to be successful, they must be worked on all of the time. Take the time to make sure that your marriage is healthy. Until people start working on their marriage none of the other institutions in the world will be successful. Give our children a chance to have something when they become adults. At the rate we are going now, we are not leaving our children with much.

In Isaiah 43:18-20, "Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing now it springs forth, do you no know it. I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert." If you are having troubles in your marriage, listen to God and let Him do a new thing and make a way in your wilderness.
If God can raise Jesus from the dead, then he can raise your marriage from the dead. Stay focused on God and he can and will bring life back to your marriage.
