The importance of marriage still stands today. The commitment to stay together, even more, is required in marriages. Yes, certain factors cause a union to fall apart.

But marriage is sacred and a creative act of holiness. One scripture that adequately explains the lifelong commitment in marriage, is found in Malachi 2:14-15: “But you say, why does he not?' Because the LORD was a witness between you and the wife of your youth, to whom you have been faithless, though she is your companion and your wife by a covenant."

A certain movie that comes to mind, was one where a man fell into a season of complex problems. He lost his job. He got injured, he ran out of money and his house was foreclosed on. He progressively lost everything that he worked hard for and to add to his evident pain, his wife admitted that she had an affair.

Evidently, he reached a point of hurt, unforgiveness, and hopelessness. Never the less he had to make a judgment that would change his life. And that decision was not about him as much as it was regarding his innocent children and the woman of his heart.

The personal decisions we make in marriage are crucial and at times we conveniently forget, that others are also hurting. God design marriage as a covenant agreement that would bless not only the man and woman but families, generations, and nations
