Mark 10: 9 reminds us, “Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.”
There is a great effort globally, from high places, to destroy marriages as we know it. Many of the articles on marriage and divorce which you may read these days, have an air of arrogant vehemence against marriage and seem to celebrate divorce and the negating of the institution of marriage.
The truth is, Satan hates a Godly marriage, because it brings blessings and is a covenant with God. When a covenant is broken, as the book of Malachi says, there are consequences and rewards.
Marriage also impacts governments, economies and nations and influences crime, violence and the moral fabric of any society. GOD HATES DIVORCE!
Many Reasons For Divorce
In order to deal with divorce, we need to first understand why the marriages are breaking up. We also need to understand Spiritual Warfare.
There are many in the Kingdom of darkness who are assigned specifically to fight to destroy marriages and take down families, and if you are not willing to fight, then you will be added to the statistics. (Ephesians 6).
The Gender Agenda has been put in place to create a new family dynamic and norm; and that new dynamic does not carry the blessing of God. Remember, God created one man for one woman with specific instructions. (Genesis 1: 27 – 28). As such, divorce will terminate that instruction, which in turn affects the population, hinders Godly offspring, and sets the trajectory for the elimination of man’s dominion and purpose.
Divorce also strengthens Satan’s plans in a nation (John 10: 10). It opens the door for adultery, fornication, same-sex relationships and is in fact the opposite of God’s instruction to man to be fruitful and multiply. (Genesis 1: 28).

What We Need To Know
If you don’t know or understand your role in a marriage – whether you are male or female, don’t marry yet.
Know the value of marriage. Marriage is more important and more significant than your title, job, or money. Just take a look at Bill and Melinda Gates, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, or Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith.
A person’s relationship with God is a reflection of their relationship in marriage.
It is extremely important to the health of your marriage to build on God’s foundation. If the woman is not the missing rib of the man to whom she is married, TROUBLE! If the man has taken on the wrong rib – TROUBLE!
God’s blessing does not rest on unequal yoking.
Making choices for marriage Hollywood-style – that is, based on looks, finance, emotions, and connections, is in true “Young and the Restless, Days of Our Lives” fashion and is not what God said.
Women, please stop the hunting and seeking and let the man fulfill his role. (Proverbs 18: 22)
Good Communication and Prayer a big part of the covenant.
Understand truly what it is to leave and cleave. Your past baggage must go as there are things you will need to let go from the past in order to grow and move forward in the union.
Both parties need to understand what submission truly means and that it first begins with submission to God.
Avoid denying each other of the benefits of your union. If you believe in denying your spouse of sex, then don’t get married. It was never meant to be a tool for manipulating your spouse.
Fight For Your Marriage
Remember that the first man and woman were a microcosm (a small scale version) of the Church. Marriage was created to bring glory to God.
There are many battles we have in life, however, this battle for Marriage God’s way, is one of the most important battles. It is time to destroy the current statistics.
