Why Husbands Must Pursue Christ In Their Marriage

What does marriage have to do with holiness? Everything, according to God. Marriage is a holy calling, a vocation from God and not just another social agreement. It is sacred and set apart for His glory. Marriage between a Christian man and woman should be more than just a union of two people who care about each other and want to spend the rest of their lives together. Marriage is something far more exalted: a union between one man, one woman, and Christ Himself. In this blog post we’re going to explore exactly why our loving Creator has chosen to call us into such an intimate relationship with another human being. We’ll also delve into some tried-and-true tips for making your marriage holy and how you can grow as individuals through it. At the end of the article, you should understand why husbands must pursue Christ in their marriage.

Marriage According to the Church

Before we get into why marriage is holy, let’s first define what the Church means by the term “marriage.” When we talk about marriage we refer to one man, one woman, entering a committed, lifelong relationship. The Church believes that marriage is a lifelong promise between two people that is meant to be open to having children. In the eyes of the Church, marriage isn’t just a contract between two people. Rather, it’s a covenant between a couple, God, and the Church. As such, couples who enter into marriage in the Church make a lifelong commitment to one another and to God. They also agree to let the Church affirm their marriage and help them build a lasting and holy family.

Marriage is Holy

You might be wondering why marriage is so holy to begin with. After all, it’s a relationship between two consenting adults who love each other. It’s also a path towards becoming a family and raising children. So why would God want to make it even more exalted than it already is? Why not keep marriage as a simple social agreement? Why does marriage matter so much to God? From the very beginning of time, God has been committed to uniting all of creation to Himself, His Son, and the Holy Spirit. God the Father, the Creator of all things, loves His creation beyond comprehension. He created each individual human being to reflect His image and to spread the message of His love throughout the world. Human beings have a choice in this, though. We can either choose to let God love us or we can reject His love. God made marriage as a way to bridge the gap between Himself and His creation. He created marriage as a path for humanity to choose to let His love flow through their lives and for Him to enrich their union and make them whole.

3 Tips To Make Your Marriage Holy

If marriage is a holy covenant between you and your spouse, then you should do everything within your power to make your marriage as holy as possible. That being said, the path to a holy marriage is a two-way street. While one spouse can do their best to make their marriage holy and keep Christ at the center of their union, the other spouse must do their part as well. How can you make your marriage as holy as possible and keep Christ at the center of it? Here are a few tips to help get you on your way: 

1. Read the Bible Together – Every couple has their own unique ways to communicate, but when you read the Bible together as a couple, you’re not only sharing your hearts with each other but also the heart of Christ. The Bible is God’s love letter to humanity, and when you read it together as a couple, you’re reading a part of that letter together. 

2. Discuss the Word – When you take the time to read the Bible together, you should also take the time to discuss what you read. Doing so will help you grow together spiritually and also keep Christ at the center of your marriage. That being said, you should try to avoid discussing controversial issues like politics and current events. Instead, keep the conversation focused on the word of God. 

3. Pray Together – Prayer is a powerful tool for building a strong and holy marriage, but it’s important that you pray together as a couple. When you pray together, you invite God into your marriage and He works to strengthen and sanctify it.
