WEDDING RINGS

I still wear my wedding rings as a promise to my family that I will not give up on us being a family.




I still wear my wedding rings because I believe in my ex-husband. He is a good man and he loves his children so much that he would do anything for them that is within his power to do.



I still wear my wedding rings because I know that my ex-husband and I don't have any problems that are too great for God to heal.



I still wear my wedding rings because I made a vow that I intend to keep, "for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part."



I still wear my wedding rings because 26 years ago we had something that made us want to spend the rest of our lives together and I believe that something is still there underneath all the worldly things that Satan has thrown at us.



I still wear my wedding rings because I want our children to get married, with us sitting as a couple and no step-parents involved.



I still wear my wedding rings because I want to be an example to our children and grandchildren that marriage is a lifetime commitment.



I still wear my wedding rings because I want to have our grandchildren come to Grandma and Grandpa's house to see both of us!



I still wear my wedding rings because families belong together.



I still wear my wedding rings because I still love my husband and it is my promise to him that I will never give up on him, just like the father of the prodigal son never gave up on his son. He was watching for him on the day he returned and he ran to meet him and they had a great feast in his honor. He also put a ring on his finger and I still have a ring to place back on my prodigal's finger the day God brings him home to his family.



That's why I still wear my wedding rings.

Danger of Isolation in the Marriage

When the marriage turns sour, unhappy and painful most people will try to have a extramarital affairs by being unfaithful to the marriage vows which leads to emotional adultery, and then later into physical adultery. Emotional adultery is unfaithfulness to the spouse in thoughts or heart or cheating on their spouses emotionally. When the spouse of unfaithful person knows the truth he will get hurt and his agony of betrayal is immeasurable and the marriage rips apart. His whole world would have collapsed.


To avoid such kind of adultery the spouses need to be affectionate, accountable, understanding and should able to pay attention to their needs. Temptations are opportunities that either it will strengthen us or corrupt us morally which lead us in bad path. When they come along, we are given a choice to either turn away with God's help or surrender to the temptation. We must be spiritually minded to resist temptation, realizing that eternal spiritual values are more important that temporary earthly pleasure or gain. We should never fantasize about sinful thoughts. We can overcome temptation through Prayer, scripture reading, by resisting or avoiding it.

If you put your trust in man or woman outside the marriage you are guaranteed to get hurt at some point, someone is going to let you down and deeply disappoint you. "Paul said believers put "no confidence in the flesh" (Philippians 3:3). Much of the hurting and the hopelessness you experience is a result of being let down by someone you trusted or someone close to you. You are trusting in someone or something other than God to bring you happiness and hope.

A family with a stable marriage supports healthy socialization, healthy relationships,, healthy society and healthy nation and there by contributing a good morals. I hope the spouses understand each other needs and make God as the centre of marriage and work out their issues by not giving rooms for the devil to destroy their marriage.

No Divorce and No Remarriage!

Today, divorce and re marriage have become socially acceptable in our society. Everyday, we come across a lot of people including our families, friends, neighbors who have been divorced and remarried. Jesus explained how God had made marriage in the beginning and instructed that “what therefore God has joined together, let no man separate” (Matt 9:6). In a true marriage husband and wife are one because they are both parts of the body of Christ and are to reflect The unity of Christ and the church, The sacrificial love of Christ for the church The headship of Christ over the church, and the submission of the church to Him and The perfecting of the church by Christ. As Christ perfects the church, the husband perfects the wife and the wife perfects the husband.


Bible is clear that God hates divorce, that He considers the marriage vow as a sacred covenant. The divine and Gods standard for marriage is lifelong commitment to one's spouse. In an news article called “Americans Marry too much” By Pat Wingert
NEWSWEEK we see that We are quick to divorce, repartner, and remarry faster than people in any other country. We don’t see in biblical times remarriage occurring very frequently as occurring in our country. Every individual is created differently just because we have different opinions and disagreements in the marriage , it should not be a ground for divorce and remarriage as no one can find a perfect partner.

Divorce causes remarriage and remarriage causes repeated and continues adultery. Remarriages also equally considered a sin. In Mark 10:11, 12 says “Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her. And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery”. Divorce e/remarriage/adultery is not just a one time act but a continuous state of adultery and will exclude one from the kingdom of God. Yet, divorce and remarriage is a sin that can be forgiven just as murder or lying, if one confesses and forsakes it.

The Bible is clear that only unmarried and the widows can remarry.

1 Cor 7:8-9 “Now to the unmarried and the widows I say: It is good for them to stay unmarried, as I am. But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.”

Rom 7:2 “For example, by law a married woman is bound to her husband as long as he is alive, but if her husband dies, she is released from the law of marriage.”

As more and more people divorce, the church too easily accepts divorce as normal. Our laws now make obtaining a divorce an easy thing, thus encouraging many to give up on the marriage and choose what looks like an easier solution.
