The Importance of The Holy Spirit In Your Marriage

Reading Time: 2 minutes

The third person of the Trinity, the Holy Spirit was promised to us believers as Jesus was ascending.

Joh 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever;

He is supposed to comfort us. The comforter lives in us forever. He is not leaving us, He is in us to stay. He is not planning to go anywhere now, tomorrow, or in the nearest future. He is to comfort you in your marriage. There are times we need the comfort of the Holy Spirit, not that of our spouse.

Joh 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

There are so many things we need to know about our marriage. There are things about yourself first of all you don’t even know. It takes the Holy Spirit to teach you about yourself.

As a wife, there are some times we are just complicated because of our make-up. Sometimes we are just so emotional, we wonder what’s wrong with us. Nothing is wrong, we are just unique and we need to be uniquely understood.

The Holy Spirit was there when God was creating us so He knows.

We need to understand our spouses. Without understanding our spouse, quarrels will be the order of the day. Have you ever had a misunderstanding with your spouse? Both of you are seeing things from two different perspectives and each is sure they are right. You need to know the different sides and the complex temperament of your spouse. It takes the Holy Spirit to do this job.

The institution of marriage itself needs to be understood. Marriage is so dynamic, so complex, so unique, so diversely different. It takes the Holy Spirit to help us steer the course. He wants to help us and teach us and show us how things will work in our marriage.

The most important key in our relationship with the Holy Spirit is not having Him but allowing Him to fulfill His Ministry in our lives and marriage. Most of us have the gift of the Spirit, but how many of us have a working relationship and fellowship with His person? Until we have this relationship we cannot benefit from what He has to offer.

My prayer is that we develop this relationship with the precious Holy Spirit, Amen.

God bless your marriage.
