Love and Romance in the Christian Marriage

INTRODUCTION

Marriage today is certainly different from marriages hundreds of years ago or even fifty years ago. Most of our lives we have heard the terms, you cannot buy love; love is more than things and having sex is not love. When we marry, we marry for love, for the good and the bad, in sickness and in health. We did not marry with a contract of conditions that states, me first. Most marriage do not succeed because everyone wants to be equal. God created us all equal but, He did not formulate marriage on equality Acts 17:25-28. But no one wants to submit. Marriage has changed from being monopolized by the husband to being shared with the wife, although the rule for marriage goes unchanged. We have forgotten the word.

There is no equality in love and romance, but only respect, honor, reverence and love. There are many things, that couples say to one another that begins to dim the light in their marriage. Many Christian married couples devise their marriages on equality. They forget who they are and their image begins to change from a beautiful woman to a quarrelsome woman; and from the figurative of Christ to a yes man, a man with no authority in his home. You never know a person fully when you say I do. You just expect great things in your marriage but how can you when you have overlooked the presentation. We must believe the word of God faithfully as it is for our life.
