Son 2:15
Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes.
I want us to notice three things from the above scripture.
- Take these little foxes.
- The foxes are little, insignificant issues.
- Our vines, (marriage) have tender grapes.
When we run marriage with godly principles, it has the potential to yield great results.
I want us to note here that godly principles are not necessarily logical.
Below are some logical reasons why either the wife or husband leave their matrimonial bed
- My husband or wife snores and sleeps roughly. I can’t cope with not having a good night’s rest.
- My wife just put to bed. She needs enough space to nurse our baby.
- I need my privacy, so let’s have separate rooms.
- I need to teach my wife or husband a lesson, as we have not been on talking terms for a while.
- My wife is currently on her monthly period. I will be back when she is done.
However, God’s principles knock out every form of logic you might be thinking of.
- Once married, you are now one flesh. Leaving your flesh in one room is not part of the deal.
Learn to accept the one you married, for love is patient. - Do not abandon raising your kids to your wife alone. Be with her, especially at night.
- You won’t get any privacy by leaving your spouse in one room and going to another. God frowns at such acts.
- No matter what issues you have, you deal with them by talking. Staying in separate rooms will only make you go apart.
- Having her monthly period is normal. You knew this before marrying her, so stay with her. If you can’t stay with her for 5 days in a month, then you can’t stay with her for life.
God bless your marriage.
