Young couples in particular should be allowed to blend together alone at least in the first year of marriage. Your brothers, sisters, cousins, parents should not live with you at least in the first year except it is absolutely unavoidable. Needless to say that extra-marital affair is completely outlawed!
The first family was not placed in a community but in their own home all by themselves. Today, there is too much interference especially with young couples. The Bible says that the man shall leave his father and his mother and cleave to his wife and they shall become one flesh. It went on to say that they were both naked, the man and his wife, (not the man, his wife and brothers and sisters and they were not ashamed. Two people cannot truly be opened to each other in the presence of anyone else without somebody being ashamed.
Do not discuss any misunderstanding between you and your spouse with your friends and family without first seeking the counsel of your pastor or counsellor. Keep your family issues private.
PRAY: I seal my marriage with the Blood of Jesus. I command the enemy to stay out permanently in Jesus Name!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION: God will protect your marriage against every onslaught of the enemy, in Jesus Name!
