Marriage takes three to be complete;
It’s not enough for two to meet.
They must be united in love by love’s Creator, God above.
Then their love will be firm and strong;
Able to last when things go wrong.
Because they’ve felt God’s love and know
He’s always there. He will never go.
And they have both loved Him in kind
with all the heart and soul and mind;
And in love they’ve found the way
to love each other every day.
A marriage that follows God’s plan
takes more than a woman and a man.
It needs a oneness that can be
Only from Christ-marriage takes three.
—B Stuckwisch
So how do you feel about this? Do you feel that marriage takes three? Based on last weeks poll question, the majority selected that God is the most important ingredient in a marriage.
If we are not prayerful in selecting a partner (specifically the partner that God has chosen for us) we can sometimes set ourselves up for failure and challenges. It’s imperative that as a couple you have a common ground that you can come back to. For us, it’s a personal relationship with God and knowing that this marriage is not just about the two of us. It’s also about God who is apart of our marriage as well. When all else fails and goes wrong, when egos are inflamed, when tempers are flared, we can always go back to our common ground. The third person in our marriage.
Early on in our marriage and even during our courtship, we invited Him to be a part of everything that we did. Whatever point you are at in your relationship it’s not too late to invite Him in. Whether you are married, single, engaged, separated, widowed or divorced I believe we can all benefit from knowing that if it’s a great marriage that we desire; marriage takes three.
