Marital responsibilities speak of the lay down duties of each partner in the marital home, so it takes a responsible man or woman to marry. For a responsible man is the king of his house and the Queen of his home, a responsible man is the pride of his wife, he cannot disgrace his wife or husband openly as a responsible person, so help ask your neighbor “ARE YOU A RESPONSIBLE PERSON?” Before I gone on I will like to establish some facts about marriage.
What is Marriage?
To me Marriage is a cure for loneliness, marriage is a
honourable institution with the bed undefiled (Heb 13: 14) marriage is
described as a sanctified friendship, the oxford advanced learners define
marriage as the legal relationship between husband and wife but biblically,
marriage is an institution ordained by God himself, so marriage is the
institution in the whole world, it started in the beautiful garden of Eden
between Adam and Eve and God was the only officially minister, witness by the angels.
Marital responsibilities somebody may ask pastor what are the marital
responsibilities somebody said, uneasy lies the head that wears the crown, so
that the leadership position of the home is upon you the man. You determine the
success or the failure of your home, As the head, you are not to be a dictator
but a servant.
So the first responsibility you have is leaving and cleaving
– (Gen 2: 24). Hear this, the act of leaving and cleaving does not mean that
you should hate or abandon your father or mother In – Law, No. honour and care
for them because they are the vehicle through which you enter the world but
cleave to your wife because she is your helper and companion at all time,
cleave to your wife because she is your adviser, she is your economists, she
care for your food, happiness, health and general well being, she takes care of
your children, visitors and properties.
Number two Marital Responsibility is
love Eph 5: 25 – 33, 1 Cor. 1: 3, Hear me; Love is the magic of marriage, how
it works nobody can describe or explain, but the bible says love your wife as
you love yourself. How should I love her, as Christ loved the church and gave
himself for it, so give yourself to loving your wife. When should I love my
wife? Love her, not only when she behave well, not only when she is
economically viable, not only when she satisfies your sexual demands, love her
at all time.
Third Responsibility is provision 1
Tim 5: 8, It is your duty to provide where to stay, what to eat and what to
wear to your family. It is also your
responsibility to provide spiritual needs in the home, spiritual need like
bringing everybody in your house to salvation, to prayer, bring them in bible
reading and family alter and it is the duty of your wife to support you in all
these things for a successful marriage.
Prayer
O Lord help me to fulfill my marital responsibilities faithfully in Jesus
name
