1 Corinthians 13:13
“And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the
greatest of these is charity.”
I believe that this verse describes to us
the three pillars upon which a good and lasting marriage is built. Everybody understands
that love is needed for marriage to continue so I want to bring the aspect of
faith and consequently hope and how these two things will keep a marriage
steady and enjoyable.
Let us begin with hope. The bible calls
hope the helmet of salvation. The function of the helmet is to protect the head
or our thoughts. When you can keep yourself from having distracting thoughts;
and there will be many that will come against your mind; and you can keep your
thoughts focused on your spouse, your love for him or her will be steady and
wholesome. For the Scriptures say “if
thine eye be single thine whole body shall be full of light.”
This
is because, one of the reasons people begin to have divided minds in marriage
is when they begin to think they can have it better with someone else, or
focusing on the beauty or handsomeness of another person other than their
spouse. You see hope purifies and hope maketh not ashamed.
