Marriage is an honorable institution and this is a covenant that should not be taken lightly, as it so often is. God honors marriage and when a man asks a women to marry him, God gives him a promise. You see, the woman is God's daughter and like in the natural, a father who loves his little girl, even when she is grown, he will always see her as his little girl, and will be very particular and protective over "The apple of his eye."
Marriage is the only union that God honors, and with this union, God gives the man certain privileges. One of them is the favor of God. When a man takes a wife, he is saying to God, "I will cherish, love, and take care of her as you did when she was alone and waiting on a mate. Now I have arrived and I want to make a covenant with her like you made with the Body of Christ." These are the words that men should be saying to God about the women they want to marry.
When the marriage takes place, at that moment, God puts into motion His divine favor. When the couple's motives are right and their love is genuine, then the husband will step into the unwavering, unlimited and uncompromised favor of God because God wants his "little girl" to
be well provided for and loved.
Living "Common Law" and/or dating without commitments are not favorable. Do not expect that union to be blessed. Do not expect anything from God. There are many couples who are living together outside of marriage who are seemingly
doing well, but continue to watch and you will soon see its demise. God's word is true with a promise.
"He that finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord" (Proverbs 18:22).
Ladies, if a man asks you to "shack up" with him, he does not respect you and his expectations for that relationship to work is little. Gentlemen, if a woman suggests living together, you'd better run because she is up to no good.
Cohabiting outside of God's will is just a waste of time. So if you are reading this article and you are considering just living together outside of the covenant of marriage, do not expect to be blessed and do not expect any acceptance from God.
"Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed undefiled; but fornicators and adulterers, God will judge" (Hebrews 13: 4, ASV).
