God's Constitution on marriage is two wholes becoming one, which is much stronger than two halves becoming one. Remember, the Lord God gave Adam His Spirit. And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being. If our society is built on marriage, then what is marriage built on? If it is built on one or two rotten eggs, you have a rotten omelet, as I stated earlier. God created humanity and a world that began with an individual. Marriage is important for the survival of humanity; however the Lord God built humanity on individuals. Those who are married should realize that the only thing that binds them together is a covenant. You are the same old you, and your spouse is the same individual he or she was before you married them. Remember, the marriage contract or covenant, is only as good as your word (your promise to keep it).
Now without the Holy Spirit, it is almost impossible to have a successful and happy marriage. he provides the power to enable you to keep your vows. The world has a saying, "promises are made to be broken". Maybe that is the problem with those who claim to be Believers in God's principles but conduct their lives totally differently from God's Word. God designed everything in the Kingdom around the individual, beginning with salvation. He never saves groups, only individuals. I remember Evangelist Billy Graham while he was in one of his London crusades, where it was reported that about a million people made commitments to Jesus Christ. However, God didn't scoop up those million people in a great big Holy Spirit shovel and dump them in an ocean of the blood of Jesus. No, each one sat in a single seat, heard the Word as individuals and the Holy Spirit came to each of them and saved them individually as he received Christ. Each got out of his or her own seat, personally and walked to the front to confess Jesus as Lord of their lives.
Keep in mind, they stood together in large groups but that mass was made up of individuals, all making individual choices. That is the way the Lord God works. Even when the disciples were baptized in the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost. When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. And there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under heaven. And when this sound occurred, the multitude came together, and were confused, because everyone heard them speak in his own language.
Remember this, each of us has to answer to the King on the day of Judgement as individuals.
Genesis 2:7 Acts 2:1-6
