CHRISTIAN MARRIAGE 8: A CORD OF THREE STRANDS
(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. Christian Marriage
a) What does the Bible say about marriage? What did Paul mean that it is better to remain single? Did he mean that singleness is preferred above marriage? What are biblical principles and guidelines for both husband and wife? How can divorce be avoided? Does God permit divorce? Is marrying outside of your faith biblical?
2. A Cord of Three Strands
a) Marriage is a wonderful experience and when a husband and wife can work together with the Holy Spirit, it is one of the most beautiful experiences that any human can ever have. Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 shows that “Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up. Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone? Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.”
b) When two cords of husband, and wife bound together, they are not easily broken, and when three strands are woven together, these three cords are not quickly broken. If the third cord or strand is God, then three are better than two. And even the Devil can not break what God has joined together.
