“Do all things for God’s glory.”—1 Cor. 10:31. ????????

[Bible Speaks]

“Do all things for GodÂ’s glory.”—1 Cor. 10:31.

????????

For many today, the only thing that matters is their personal happiness. But a servant of Jehovah sees things differently. He knows that God provided marriage as a gift to further His purpose.

????????

(Genesis 1:26-28) And God went on to say: “Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness, and let them have in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens and the domestic animals and all the earth and every moving animal that is moving upon the earth.” 27 And God proceeded to create the man in his image, in God’s image he created him; male and female he created them. 28 Further, God blessed them and God said to them: “Be fruitful and become many and fill the earth and subdue it, and have in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens and every living creature that is moving upon the earth."

Adam and Eve had respected that gift, the whole earth would have become a paradise filled with happy, righteous servants of God. Above all, God’s servants see marriage as an opportunity to bring glory  to Jehovah. Loyalty, unity, and spirituality are godly qualities that fortify a marriage.

So whether we are preparing for, strengthening, or trying to save our marriage, we must first see marriage for what it is: a divine and sacred institution. Keeping that truth in mind will move us to do our best to make marital decisions based on God’s Word. In this way we show respect not just for the gift of marriage but also for the Giver of that gift, Jehovah God.
