There are a number of reasons from, marrying for the wrong reasons, or a couple just 41grow apart". 1 do flot want to focus on why marriages break up, but simply on how to keep them together. According to the Bible, we see that both the husband and the wife are commanded to love their spouse. Specifically we see that the husband is supposed to love his wife like Christ loved the church and gave himself for it. (Ephesians 5:25 KJV) Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; (Titus 2:4 KJV) That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love thei), husbands, to love their children, What we are talking about is a sacrificial love that thinks of the spouse and not just yourself. That is against our nature, but that is BAHAI NAMES Tear ye asunder the veils o nomes ond cleove ye their kingdom..He who is the Monarch of ail nomes is corne.

The Lord loved the church in three areas. He gave of himself and met our spiritual, emotional, and physical needs. It is through Christ that our spirit is saved and will spend eternity with him in heaven. Emotional needs deals with our soul and he gîves us the grace and peace through his word daily to succeed in lîfe. Physically the Lord sees to it that we have food, shelter, clothing, and other necessities of life. In other words, the love of Christ goes far beyond feelings and emotions. It is a love that has action. If a marriage is going to last, then the husband and wife must love each other completely. God created us spirit, soul and body. AUl three of those areas need to be cared for. Any marriage that breaks down can be traced to a break down in one or more of these areas.

The Apostle Paul prayed for a church that he ministered to that the Lord would preserve them blameless in ail three areas: (1 Thessalonians 5:23 KJV) And the ver.y God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. So for those of us that are married, I want to encourage you to make sure that you continue to take steps in making your marriage a success by specifically meeting your spouse's needs. Here are a few ideas on how to do that: 1. Spend time reading the Bible and praying together to meet the spiritual need. 2. Spend time talking to your spouse and lîstening to them to see how their day went, or do an activity that they want to do to help meet emotional needs.
