The marriage vow of “till death do us apart” apply throughout our lifetime. This marriage that iam talking about is the union of male and female and preferably of the same faith. The bible tells us that there is ONLY 1 reason where this vow can be broken ie reason of adultery and after that, to remain single for the rest of our lives. If anyone of us gets divorced other than this reason, we have committed adultery. There are NO two ways about it.
A married life is full of challenges just as like any other lives we had. Therefore, our married life needs to be nourished on daily basis in order to be healthy. If I may ask, how many times in this week have you done any 1 of the following ;
1) Tell your spouse that you love him/her.
2) Spend time with your spouse sharing what has happened or what have you done in the past week.
3) Showing appreciation for the work that your spouse has done.
4) Sharing the word of God together.
It is my opinion that pre-marriage counselling is a pre-requisite for a happy and blessed marriage because the counselling sessions would explain what is required of the couple in the marriage, what needs to be done for the marriage to be nourished, what are the basic skills needed to deal with conflicts in the marriage.

Amen to what you have said!! :)
I just like to add that the pre-marriage counselling should be done with christian counselors so that they can instruct the couple in the Lord's way.

I am delighted to know that what Jesus said about marriage is wonderful, but I would like to know ( being a man) what I am supposed to do for I made mistakes in life in my marriage but I cannot receive forgiveness from my spouse only humiliations. She wouldn't pray with me and she wouldn't talk to me no matter what! I can see that it is a demonic attack through witchcraft but she wouldn't agree to pray with me not even share anything even a greeting. If she talks to me is for a week then keep quiet for six months to a year. I am a Christian, I have two kids that I love but I feel I have no future with this kind of a relationship and I wonder what to do. Please advice.
Thank you, Evans Kenya.

Hello Evans Kenya
Your two kids need you and your wife because you are a family. A broken home is devastating to children. I know because my parents split up when I was 7 years old and there was pain and long term consequences.

Jesus cares about you, your family and your marriage. He definitely does not want to see it fall apart.
You have been forgiven by our Father in heaven. If your wife doesn't want to forgive you even though you have apologized to her and have amended your ways, then the only thing you can do is pray. Lift her up in prayer & let God work in her heart. You need to exercise patience. Anything to do with a person's heart, it always needs time, because one can't just turn it on and off like a light switch. In the meantime, ask God to show you in what areas of your life that needs changing, what you can do to win her heart over.
If you are truly sincere, God will honor this.

I myself was in a difficult marriage and while I was in prayer, I felt the need to look at myself and not at my husband, whether I was in the right or not. When I sincerely committed myself and my marriage to the Lord, the Lord started to change me. The circumstances in our marriage did not change but I did. Eventually God worked in my husband's heart and very slowly things started to change in our relationship for the better. But it was a long process and I needed to exercise patience & trust in the Lord.

Thats why the bible tell us that preferably we should married to the person sharing the same faith as ours. This is important because 2 persons are united as 1 in marriage. How can God unite 2 persons of different faith as 1 together?

In my opinion, you should resolve the problem of your wife being attacked by demon first. Bring your wife for spiritual healing kidnap her if you have to in order to cast out the demon in the name of Jesus. The bible has shown us how Jesus cast out demon in Matthew 8:28-34, 7:14-21. based on my experience, you might need to do it few times and prayer as well. God Bless.

FormerPooky am happy for you question, but I dont see what else it would be other than demons for she doesnt bother with children even school visits and in their family of six, she is the only remaining in marriage. There seems to be a foundational spirit problem.Please advice otherwise if you feel am wrong. My email is [email protected] Thank you.

OK, are you nuts? Kidnap her? I don't see anywhere in the bible where forcing someone to do something against their will, or Gods will, is permitted. Trying to kidnap someone to cast demons out of them because they are not behaving the way you want them to is unbiblical insanity. You need to go back and understand the nature of God and free will. God forces no one into anything, so what makes you think we have the right to?
And probably what she needs isn't just spiritual healing and a demon cast out. I doubt she has a demon at all. I think she has hurt feelings. Normal, natural human emotions that this person obviously must have discarded, and trampled on. Perhaps not even showing true remorse and regret and repentance to her. You're telling this man to kidnap his wife and cast out a demon because she won't come back to him. What if he did something where he doesn't deserve her to come back? What if he cheated on her? What if he hit her?

You have a long way to go before offering more advice if this is the best you can do. Breaking laws, forcing wills, making assumptions .. crazy.
