"Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ... Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord... Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her"
Ephesians 5:21‭-‬22‭, ‬25

The husband and wife must submit to one another.

Many people nowadays forget about this verse or maybe they are not aware of this. Some neglect it and their marriage ends up as miserable as one can imagine.

I am a witness to a lot of issues on marriage. Adultery is one. The other is pride. Others just came out of these sins. I admitted and confessed to God that I got a lot to do with the adultery stuff. Should I say 3 marriages already? The one is mild, the other is average and the last was extreme. Good thing everything fell into the right places as I pray to God. I was saved. The other marriage was saved when we decided to stop our weird kind of relationship. But I lost him as a friend. It was sad but it was for the better for my life and for his family. I'm glad to see his posts in fb that he enjoyed the company of his wife and daughter. But I could not like or comment anymore. The other was just a good friend who enjoyed malicious conversations. I try not to fall in his trap and just go on with joking around with him. I'm not sure on what's happening to his marriage but as he tells us their marriage is still pretty good. But why is that he needs to have flings and dirty conversations with other women? And the extreme one? I fell for the trap. Their marriage is damaged. My friend's wife was full of pride and she could not take what God has designed for her as a wife. I experienced all the sadness my friend has and I was there to comfort him as what he did when I was still sad from my ex. My friend loves his wife but our relationship was unexpected. We end up both getting hurt. Yeah, we saved our friendship but we are both broken especially his marriage. But the wife did not knew.

I believe it all happened because of the sin we all have committed and neglecting what God want us to do as a person and as a married individual.

My friends told me that the place where they work is like a temptation island for married people. They use each other for their worldly desires. Hearing that, someone, maybe God, told me to go there and free them from sin and cleanse their hearts. I see visions that I will minister to people in a group and share the word of God. God strengthens me everyday and is making me ready for this mission. If this is really my mission, I will know soon and while I am waiting I will take every opportunity to be equipped and create the greatest armor in my spirit, with faith and wisdom that I may not be swallowed by the enemy living freely in that place. I have experienced all these to testify to them the effects of not obeying God.

Lord God, I exhalt your name in the most high! I thank you for another day, a day of opportunity to know you and show me the way I should live by your will. Thank you for letting me experience these things so that it maybe known. Marriage should be as intact as your relationship to the church. As you have offered your son to us and how Jesus died for us, the man and the woman joined together by marriage should be of the same level of submission to one another. Keep me Lord in your love and guidance as I do your wil, my purpose, my mission. I declare in Jesus' name that I will no longer commit the sins I had before and help the married ones to restore what was taken away by carnality through your word and your guidance. Amen.
