Two Funerals and One Wedding

You love each other. You love each other’s children. Hopefully, you’ve dated for at least two years now. You may now be engaged. Congratulations! Now it’s time to prepare for two funerals and one wedding.

The Bible warns of the harmful impact of being selfish. Selfishness can lead us to say words that hurt or take actions that damage our relationships. You need to prepare for two funerals and one wedding daily. A friend of ours from Korea told us of this saying. Each person must become unselfish. Only then can there be a wedding of one.

Suggestions

Keep these Biblical principles alive every day in your marriage, and you’ll grow closer together in Christ Jesus. Only then can you truly have a successful remarriage.

1. Keep putting Jesus first; keep loving Jesus most. Make it a priority to keep your relationship with Jesus growing by reading the Bible, praying, serving in your local church, and doing these things together.
2. Speak life words to your spouse. Use words to build up your spouse, encourage them, and speak life over them.
3. Forgive each other. Your spouse will do something that hurts you, and you will be in a position to extend forgiveness. The Bible calls us to forgive their mistakes to keep our relationship strong. Your spouse is not perfect; neither are you.

Prayer

God, I ask you to bless our relationship. You are doing something new in my life, heart, and this union. Lord, I give you my past hurts to heal me. Please help me change any wrong patterns I have created due to my choices and the choices of others. A kind word turns away wrath; help me to remember that. I know I am only human, so help me remember my spouse is human, too. God, I pray that you will bless our union as we get married and help us continually grow closer to each other and closer to you. Please put a hedge of protection around us and send your angels to watch over our children and us. In Jesus’ name, amen.
