“Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom.
And in all your getting, get understanding.” Pro 4:7, Pro 24:3
Wisdom and understanding are the two main pillars of
destiny being it business, marriage, and ministry. In marriage, wisdom and
understanding cannot be underestimated as they form the foundation of an A1
marriage.
What is an A1 marriage?
An A1 marriage is a marriage that is peaceful, full of
love with no unnecessary disputes. The following highlight the characteristics
for building an A1 type of marriage:
Love the Lord:
When you love the Lord it’s easy to love your partner. In Ghana, according to
our marriage culture, you don’t only marry your beloved but you marry your
beloved and his/her whole family. Loving God make all things work for you
because when you walk in the love of God you attract everybody to you
naturally. Generally if the love of God affect you, it will also affect all
those around you. Love cares more about others than self.
Respect the word of God on your life:
When your respect the word you simply do what it says because the word of God
contains the wisdom of God; the word of God contains all the solution to every
problem so when you allow the word to guide you and your marriage, you will
experience a good marriage. “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to
my path” Psalm 119:105 ”Your word I have
hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You.” Psalm 119:11 “I will meditate on
Your precepts, and contemplate Your ways. I will
delight myself in Your
statutes; I will not forget Your word” Psalm 119:15-16
Be caring: everyone who want
to enjoy an A1 marriage should be caring. Both
men and women should care for
each other. Caring for someone shows how much you love and value the person.
Caring is not far-fetched: it comes in different forms but it all narrow down
to treating each other well or giving your best to your partner. ” There was
a rich but foolish man in the bible called Nabal. He has a beautiful and
virtuous wife called Abigail; a lady full of wisdom. There was also a young man
called David who was in need and humbly ask for help from Nabal but he turn him
down and spoke rudely to him so David determined in his heart to take revenge
on Nabal because whiles David was in the wilderness, he took care of Nabal’s
flocks free of charge. David felt betrayed and plotted to destroy the whole of
Nabal’s household but lo and behold, Abigail got to know what his husband has done
and immediately went to meet David to plead on behalf of his husband after that
she compensated David for what her husband has done to him.” Even though
Abigal was married to Nabal, she cared for David when he (David) needed
help. That is true love.
Be a peace-maker:
“Blessed are the peace-makers, for they shall be called sons of God.” Matt 5:9.
Always learn to say I am sorry and avoid unnecessary argument which ruins
marriages. Learn to create peace in your relationship and avoid doing things
that makes your partner unhappy. “Great peace have those who love Your law,
and nothing causes them to stumble.” Psalm 119:165

Be content with what you have: Never
forget that the person in your life (your beloved) is a blessing. Don’t look at
other people’s relationship to compare it with your own because every
relationship is different. Don’t be in a rush to get things that your partner
can’t afford. Know your partner’s strength and weakness and encourage each
other in spite of the challenges.
Accept your corrections so that you can
improve and grow: understand that no relationship is perfect
and that we are all learning. Be open to be corrected so that you can learn.
“My son, do not despise the chastening of the LORD, nor detest His correction;
For whom the LORD loves he corrects, just as a father the son in whom he
delights.” Pro 3:11-12
It is better to receive an open rebuke than a secret
correction.
Be spirit controlled
(humble and discipline): For to be carnally minded is death but to be
spiritually minded is life. The following reflect the characteristics of a
spirit controlled person: love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness,
faithfulness, gentleness, Self-control…Gal 5:22-23
Why must we be led by the spirit in our relationship?
Because when we are under the control of the Holy Spirit, we walk in purity and
in holiness thus making our relationship pleasing to God.
