Expect a Glorious Marriage (1)

You will agree with me that in many homes, the level of love between a couple few years after marriage is not usually at the same level it was few months after the wedding. In most families, it is always on the decrease. It seems their love life is under attack, and definitely so. But God can rekindle that love again if you agree to follow His word. One of the first steps to rekindling, reviving or renewing your marital relationship is in your expectation to have a glorious marriage. 

For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off

Proverbs 23:18

Your expectations as a couple go a long way in seeing your home a blissful one. Do you totally believe in the covenant of successful marriage? Then you need to desire in your heart to see it become a reality and experience as a family. Your expectations which are the desires of your heart must also be in line with the words of your mouth. The Bible says: “Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer” (Psalm 19:14).

This means that both the desires of your heart and the words of your month equals your expectation. Having doubt in your heart and confessing with your mouth or vice versa will not guarantee your expectations to be a reality. To have a glorious marriage, both the words of your mouth and the desire of your heart must be faith-filled to see that expectation become a reality.

Forget about old things; they are old. God is set to do a new thing in your family this month that will make you live every day of your life thanking Him. God is set but you have to be set too. To be set, you must be determined to do some things, especially if a successful home is what you desire this year.

Don’t ever give room for complaints or comparison “…but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise” (2 Cor. 10:12). To single young men and women, what do you expect in marriage? It is important you set your expectation before getting into marriage. Your expectations shall not be cut off! Till today, those expectations have not been cut off. If you expect the best, it will be yours!

Prayer: Father, I repent from every ill expectation. I receive grace to see right and expect the right things. Help my relationship and marriage from the bondage of ill expectations that I may have a glorious marriage in the Name of Jesus, Amen.
