The enemy hates marriages because marriage is a strong force and God's gift for us. Just like any good thing that God gives us the enemy wants to destroy it. The devil is jealous and wants us to suffer in our pain and depression. That’s why most marriages are going through a crisis because they are deceived just like Eve ate the forbidden fruit of life. Because our mouth has power, to bless or to curse, our mouth is our weak point to destroy ourselves and our marriages. It’s not the other persons fault but what we need to work individually first before we can understand the marriage crisis and address it.
The devil is always seeking to tempt and destroy as it is his full time job. The worst part is that we enable it. Let me give you an example: Have you ever put down your spouse and later realized that you didn't mean to put him down? Have you ever said things that you really didn't mean, like I hate you, you are a loser, why did I ever marry you, I could find someone better than you! Have you? Well, those actions come from the devil manipulating you to do these things to your spouse because he knows it will lead to a divorce. You might not realize it but your actions are a way for the devil to attack your spouse directly. We need to close these doors so that the devil does not walk into our lives to destroy, rob and kill. We can do this by praying and fasting and rebuking the devil from entering our lives. If I could describe our God I would tell you He is a God of restoration no matter the situation! If you are separated, your spouse is with another person, or you are in the process of a divorce or even if you are divorced: God can make the impossible happen. Because God created marriage to be the covenant between your marriage and God. If you doubt God then you are doubting His power that He can do for your life. God’s desire is to give us abundance and blessings in our marriage so overwhelming that you would be so amazed of how much God loves his children. Trust in him and rebuke the devil so that we can live our lives with Jesus and have peace and love in our marriage.
10 And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. (NIV)
3 But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a wife is her husband, and the head of Christ is God. (ESV)
24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. (NIV)
4 Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral. (NIV)
7 Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers. (NVI)
3 Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, 4 and endurance produces character, and character
