Marriage as God intended for mankind from the beginning was not meant to be a punishment or some form of a regrettable affair. Unfortunately, many frustrated married people and divorcees have concluded that marriage is a whip as it were.

But what a misnomer about the institution called marriage? Today, instead of marriage being embraced as a means of reaching one’s full potential and living a better life, now it has become an evil limitation that many married people suffer from and perhaps a nightmare to a majority of others. Some even termed this sacred union between a man and a woman as a necessary evil that they’ve dragged themselves into or they have to give in to someday (those who are unmarried).

The truth be told, all of these notions about marriage are incongruent with the original design of God for the oldest and strongest system on the globe- Marriage. At best they are man’s phenomenal deceptions aimed at tampering with the credibility and sanctity of the marriage union as intended by God when He introduced it to mankind. There are a vast number of individuals who dread marriage in our time- some are still single while others are either married or separated. This is due to the nasty and cruel stuff that goes on in a lot of conjugal relationships these days.

However, being afraid to get married is not the solution to escaping a bad marriage. And like Jesus said in Matt. 19:8 “… from the beginning, it was not so.”
Marriage according to God’s plan and purpose was supposed to be a leverage for better living and accomplishment for every man or woman who gets to a point where they have to cross into the marriage frontiers.

That was why He said: “It is not good for a man to be alone”. “We will give him marriage, We don’t need it here (Heaven), we are already at our best and All (Self) Sufficient, but mankind will need it, so let them have it.”
The wise man said: “Two are better than one”, – this is best realizable in a marital relationship.
But what do we see today? Marriage has been turned into a vampire colony as it were for many wives and husbands; although from the beginning it was not so.

Quite many couples today see their marriage as a curse of life due to the bitter untold encounters they face in the union. So for this group of couples, marriage is a whip. Yet this was not God’s original intention for institutionalizing this glorious and mysterious union between a man and his wife.

Anyone that would love to maximize marriage as God intended must come to terms with the fact that marriage is God’s will (beautiful plan) and not God’s whip for us even though the devil tries to make it look like that from creation. Marriage is a necessity of life for those who are given to the idea; so once you think you are due, don’t be afraid, venture it. But do it under divine guidance and believe me, it will redefine your whole life and destiny for good.-cum-progress.

It is God’s will for us to succeed in marriage and invariably in life. God never designs anything to fail and marriage was His first major idea after He created man. Marriage is not a thing to be scared of at all. Rather it is one of the provisions of God for maximizing our being when we are matched correctly with the bone of our bone and the flesh of our flesh.

Undoubtedly, the idea of marriage had more positivities from its inception than all the caricatures that ages have made of it till now. Often than not, the majority of couples who have become sufferers when it comes to marital issues- chose it, consciously or unconsciously due to their ignorance and false beliefs about this supposed life-enhancing institution. Marriage is a union of two that can be made to deliver its best for any couple but not without individuals taking decisive responsibility for it.
