Happiness is Harmony in the

H

armony in marriage is
very important if you are
going to make it work for
the long haul. Yes, there will be
phases in your marriage where
you may feel like both of you are
not on the same page. Through
those times you have to fight
the desire within you to leave.
Sometimes the grass that may
look greener on the other side is
just fake grass. Don’t fall for that
or you may end up regretting it.

What does God think about harmony in marriage? This is EXACTLY how he feels about harmony:
Mark 10:6-9 “But from the beginning of the creation, God ‘made
them male and female. For this
reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined
to his wife and the two shall become one flesh’;so then they
are no longer two, but one flesh.

Therefore what God has joined
together, let not man separate.”
You can’t get any clearer than
that with how God feels about
harmony. He expects both the
husband and wife to become
one in marriage. That is as harmonious as you can get. That
is like both of you on your mark
in the dance the “tango”. That
takes works and dedication to
pull the tango off. Your marriage
