Tomorrow my husband and I will have been on our marriage journey for a whopping 20 months, and we have found our love growing deeper and sweeter every day. We have had two family weddings in the last two weeks. Being the hope-filled romantic that I am, I wanted to share with you the beautiful and powerful charge that my uncle gave to his daughter and her "hero" (my uncle's word) as he officiated their wedding:
There is a passage in God's word that says... women submit to your husband ... it also says men love your wife as Christ loves the church and gives His life for it...
Man's charge is stated 4 x to love ... women's charge is 1 x to submit..
God knows we men get easily distracted from our first adventure thinking it will maintain itself... so seems He solidifies His charge by reminding us of our covenant commitment 4 x to 1 x.
God placed inside the core of a woman's heart the former glory of a reflective beauty. Instilled in her heart is a response system that, when activated and maintained, will grant passageways into the depths of joy, pleasure and satisfaction... in all aspects of life.
She is the beautiful bearer of life... the radiant recipient of love... She takes that received love and becomes a catalyst and the overflow of her heart produces the abundant life that we all so aggressively seek.
Her connection with the grace and beauty of God is astounding and glorious.
A wise man can see this as he gazes into the beautiful eyes of his lover and experiences the soft passionate kiss.
When he acquires this revelation he can then make a proclamation of covenant obligation that goes something like this;
"Only God holds the place of total fulfillment of your dreams, but I vow to the best of my ability to be used of God to help fulfill as many of those dreams as I possibly can and to remind you that your beauty will never tarnish in my eyes."
In the core of a man's heart, instilled by God Himself, is the former glory of a warrior, , a hero.. created to save the day, to rescue the beautiful damsel, to conquer the dragon, to find and live adventures, to maintain protection and prosperity within his kingdom.
A wise woman knows, as she observes the man's clumsy attempt at winning the heart of his beauty, the core drive of his search to be that hero to her.
When she acquires this revelation she can then make a proclamation of covenant obligation that goes something like this;
"Only God holds the place of total fulfillment of your masculine heart, but I vow to the best of my ability to be used of God to help remind you that you are the knight in shining armor to me. I vow to be your helper in your quest to walk out this glorious adventure we call life.
If one genuinely makes this declaration out of a selfless attitude, The response, ...when received, ... produces a trust and commitment that explodes into mutual submission, respect and then into magnanimous oneness of purpose.
Who wouldn't want to submit to a person who has their best interests at heart?
Hold each other accountable to these vows.
Listen to the Lord as He speaks softly when He reminds you that the adventure is just beginning and there will be new ones that will come along both challenging and rewarding. They are as close as your heart, as clear as your vision into the unseen and as powerful as your words.
