The Foundation for Marriage Success

“If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?”

                                                                        --Psalm 11:3

The Power of Foundation

The life span, strength and hope of every building lie upon the foundation.

The foundation carries the highest task of a building.

Whatever affects the foundation determines the condition of the building

The foundation controls the building.

We all know that no building can stand or survive by itself. It relies and depends solely upon the foundation.

Meditate on this: “If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous (you) do?”

Different Kinds of Foundation…

If you observed carefully you will see that the above scripture did not say ‘foundation’ but rather ‘foundations’.

But WHY?

Because, a man life is consist of different kinds of foundations. Our life consists of several parts or divisions. We have the marital life, business life, academic life, spiritual life, social life, sex life, thought life, etc…

Every part of our life has it own foundation. This means that your business life has its business foundation. Your academic life has academic foundation.

But we are looking at your marriage life and its foundation.

The Foundation for Your Marital Success…

We want to consider the foundation for marriage success.

As a single, youth or teen…I ask you this question: “what foundation are you laying today for your marriage tomorrow?

Understanding the ‘BED’ Foundation

“Keep the bed undefiled…”--- Hebrews 13:4

What does it mean to keep the bed undefiled?

What does the ‘bed’ represent?

When Apostle Paul talked about the bed, he wasn’t trying to describe a four corner wooden and foam furniture! He was addressing the marriage foundation.

The Bed represents your marriage foundation.

The condition bed (I hope you know what I mean) will determine the outcome and success of your marital life.

Laying a Solid Marital Foundation

Your marriage or marital life is one of the most crucial and vital part of the human life.

Your marital life will have a direct and indirect effect on every area of your life.

As a single or a youth, you must strive to lay the right foundation before you enter into marriage.

**MARRIAGE IS A LIVING HELL WHEN IT IS BUILT ON A DESTRUCTIVE FOUNDATION**

The Secret of Success

“The way you lay your bed, so you will lie on it”, says a Wise Man.

***KEEP THE BED UNDEFILED***

This is the secret of success. It is the solution. It is the key to laying a solid marriage foundation.

When the bed is defile, your marriage foundation is destroyed.

Defilement breeds destruction.

Our bed is defile when we engage or live a sexual immoral life as a youth or single.

In our relationship, dating or courtship with our partners or lovers, we must do ourselves the greatest favor by abstaining from every form of sexual looseness, immorality and promiscuity.

Through sexual immorality, we releases and invites the spiritual enemies that will work to destroy our marital life.

Our bed is undefiled when we flee and abstain from sexual immorality and we are ultimately building a solid foundation for our marriage success tomorrow.

Remember this: “If the foundation be destroyed, what can the righteous do?”

Read books; attend seminars; listen to tapes, audio cds, and mp3; watch videos and DVD.

These things are good.

But…

Know this: INFORMATION GATHERING DOES NOT SCARE THE DEVIL FROM DESTROYING YOUR MARRIAGE; IT IS RIGHTEOUSNESS…

In all your learning, strive to live a sexual immoral-free life.

Protect your bed. Your bed is the seed of your marriage harvest.

Living the Life...
