THE FOUNDATION OF A "ONENESS MARRIAGE"

A"oneness" marriage is formed by a husband and wife who are crafting intimacy,trust,and understanding with one another. A oneness marriage demands a lifetime process of relying on God and forging an enduring relationship according to God's design. It's more than a mere minglin of two humans. It's a tender merger of body,soul and spirit.

Example:"Oneness" in marriage has been compared with a pair of scissors with two components joined together never to be separated. Scissors'blades frequently go in different directions, but they are more when coming together.

There are three foundational components to a "oneness marriage". King Solomon spoke of the mortar of a marriage,in proverb:By wisdom,a house is built,and by understanding it is established; by knowledge, the rooms are filled with all precious and pleasant riches(Proverbs 24:3-4.)

Before we look at these fundamental values,let us first remember the verse,note the results when a is built,established,and filled according to God's plan. There is no room in this house for isolation; it has renovated, firmly fixed, and the richness of its value and the pleasure of its enjoyment fill every room.

This is a portrait of a oneness marriage:

1. A" oneness" marriage needs wisdom.

Wisdom is a skill and everyday living. It means that we respond to circumstances according to God's design. A wise homebuilder recognizes God as the architect and builder of marriages. As we ask God for wisdom and search the scriptures, He supplies the skills to build our home.

One of the most critical issues a husband and wife must settle in their life together is who will be the builder of their marriage?
King David warned us,"Unless the Lord builds the house, its builders labor in vain."(Psalms 127:1)

2. A "oneness marriage" needs understanding.

Understanding means responding to life's circumstances with insight, and a perspective that looks at life through God's eyes. Understanding your mate from God's perspective results in acceptance of his or her differences, and the beginning in learning how God made that person to complement you.

Understanding produces compassion for your partner; it will give you insight to lead wisely or to follow prudently. Understanding builds "oneness"by establishing the relationship on a foundation of common insight (Proverbs 10:23)

3. A "oneness marriage" needs knowledge.

A marriage is an informational culture. We worship information; but information without application is an empty deity. Every Sunday morning,there are a lot of preachers who present beautiful sermons filled with outstading biblical knowledge. But what do we the believers do? when the sermon ends, we sing a song, say a prayer,and we promptly leave when the service is over.

Where is the time when we absorb into our life what we heard? Do we even take five minutes to reflect on the scriptures? No, instead, we gather with friends or family to know where dinner is going to be; this is our routine every Sunday. What Solomon was talking about is a knowledge that fills a home with precious and pleasant riches. It's more than mere information; it's a knowledge that results in conviction and application. It's a truly teachable spirit that applies God's blueprints amongst the raw reality of life.

Many of us need accountability in order to apply what we learn to our marriage.(Proverbs 10:14; Proverbs 12:1; Psalms 139:6)

In conclusion, a wonderful future is before us all: He gives us a future of unlimited power to bless others,to bless our love,to encourage one another with relationship with God and our husband.

love to you all
