Marriage Is a Commitment

It is very important for us to keep our marriage vows. Marriage is a relationship that affects the entirety of our lives. First of all, it affects us as individuals. But it also affects others. Our marriage affects our extended families. It also affects our children. They say the greatest gift parents can give their children is to love one another. There is, however, even more to marriage. It builds character.

Marriage is a commitment that reflects our integrity as individuals. It is the greatest commitment that we make in life. If we are able to keep our marital commitment, it shows everyone that we are able to keep other promises and commitments that we make. However, if we sever the commitment of marriage, how can we keep the commitments in other areas of our life? If we are not able to love the closest person to us in this life, our spouse, how are we able to love other people? Staying committed to marriage shows to ourselves and others that we are a committed person, able to keep our promises.

Moreover, marriage develops our character. Becoming one with another individual is a difficult task. If it were not so, the Bible would not warn about divorce so sternly. God knew that marriage is not easy. However, it is worth it. In marriage, we need to lay down our pride. We need to learn how to work with another person. We learn to compromise in marriage. We also learn patience. In other words, marriage prepares us for other areas of life. If we are patient with our spouse, we can be patient with a difficult person in church. If we learn to stay married even when things are hard, we build a muscle of endurance that can help us to stay in difficult work environments.

Finally, marriage is a primary relationship where we can learn to view others as more important than ourselves. The secret of staying happy in marriage is a commitment to the other person’s happiness. When viewed this way, marriage can be a gift that keeps on giving. It is a commitment that teaches us how to stay committed. It is a love that teaches us how to love. It is a relationship that fortifies us for life with all its ups and downs. Marriage done God’s way is a commitment to a life-long happiness.
