Marriage was designed to last the life-span of the couple. It was designed to be a covenant union; not a contract that can be terminated at will. Christians who divorce are to remain unmarried for the rest of their lives. Therefore the choice of one’s life partner must be carefully considered before it is made. The role of a friend in your life may be temporary. Some people do best in managing crisis. They may find it difficult to manage success. It could be the other way round. But a spouse is that special person who has the grace to stand with you through thick and thin. Remember that the vow is till death do us part.

With a forgiving heart, humility, patience and endurance, differences can always be resolved through prayer. Make a commitment to make your marriage work; rule out the possibility of divorce. Enter into marriage, lock the door and throw away the keys. Be each other’s best friends. Communicate openly and honestly. Pray with each other and for each other. Above all, love each other unconditionally! There is no force greater than love! Where there is love, sins and hurts are covered. 1Peter 4:8(NIV), “Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.”
However, there are very few and rare scriptural grounds for taking the option of divorce, but they should only be taken where it is ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE to continue in the relationship.

PRAY: I terminate the curse of marital instability and divorce in my family, in Jesus Name!

PROPHETIC DECLARATION: May the Lord preserve you and your family; may you grow old together with your spouse! Every plan of the devil to destroy your marriage will fail! The Lord will continue to pour fresh love into your hearts and family, in Jesus Name!!
