Build a Strong and Happy Marriage

INCLUDE JEHOVAH IN YOUR MARRIAGE

The cornerstone of a secure marriage is loyalty and submission to the One who instituted marriage.  (Read Ecclesiastes 4:12) Husbands and wives  can include Jehovah in their marriage by following his loving guidance.  The Bible says about God's ancient people:  "Your own ears will hear a word behind you saying, 'This is the way. Walk in it,' in case you should go to the right or in case you should go to the left." (Isaiah 30:20, 21) Today, couples can "hear" Jehovah's Word together.  (Psalm 1:1-3)  They  can further strengthen their marriage by means of  a Family Worship program that is both enjoyable  and spiritually refreshing. Daily prayer together is also invaluable in building a marriage  that can withstand the onslaughts of Satan's world. 

"Whenever our joy has been clouded by personal difficulties or misunderstandings," says Gerhard in Germany ,  "the counsel from God's Word has helped us to develop patience and practice forgiveness.  These qualities are indispensable in a successful marriage."  When couples work hard to keep God in their marriage by engaging in spiritual activities together, they are bonded to God and to each other in a close and happy union.
