An Upward Look
A Daily Devotional Observation from God's Word
December 5
SCRIPTURE VERSE FOR TODAYFor this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. (Ephesians 5:31)
Marriage can be either heaven on earth or hell on earth. About half of all marriages in the United States end in failure in the divorce courts. God has a better way! The first marriage was performed by God in the Garden of Eden. There God decreed that man would leave father and mother and be joined unto his wife and the two would become one. Husband and wife are one flesh, one home, and one family. That doesn’t mean we will always agree, but it does mean that we will compromise, that we will work as a team, and that we will work to keep the home intact and functional. Marriage is beautiful and worth saving! ~ PS. Now, you who are reading this and unmarried, just file it away for future reference.
