God's message on unity, oneness and togetherness is spread all throughout the Bible. No part contradicts the other, all consistent and with a single purpose. Like the words in Scriptures, God instituted and designed marriages to be indivisible and united in all fronts, in all aspects and at all times. It is so important for Him that He used the symbolism of marriage to define, bring clarity and illustrate His love for us, the Church. Loving, honoring and serving...promoting togetherness of heart, mind and soul. This is His design for every marriage. But the devil prowls and it aims to divide. It poisons relationships with lies and deceit. It brings dissension, conflict and strife. And a marriage that isn't built within a fortress of faith is vulnerable. We ought be on guard like watchmen at the city gates. We must strengthen the walls that surround us and fortify the bond that’s between us. It is only with God as the commander that a marriage will be strengthened, Jesus Christ as the center that it will be united.

Lord, thank You for letting me experience Your magnificence, the richness of Your love and the abundance of Your grace. I am in awe of this very special relationship I share with You. I feel You move in my life with every waking morning, all through my day and in all the evenings even as I rest. Thank You for this wondrous gift of a heart full of gratitude and knowledge that I can commune with You my King, anytime, everywhere. My profound metamorphosis is all because You live in my heart. Now I know how extra special I am in Your eyes because You are letting me experience the complete beauty of my oneness with my God's best, you have helped me fully understand and take to heart, the intertwined and compelling love of a husband and wife. The love between Jesus Christ and Your Church is the perfect symbolism of the love You have designed for me and my one true love. I ask You Abba Father, to always guide my every step in loving him as he is part of my own body, to serve his needs above my own. I pray that I shall always walk with You and be reminded always to treat our unity as an unbreakable bond to be defended for life and to honor and raise my spouse upon the pedestal of my love. Amen.
Father, keep them in Your name, the name which You have given Me, that they may even be one even as We are. -- John 7:11
