Psalm 45:10
10 Listen, O daughter, consider and give ear:
Forget your people and your father’s house.
Though the psalmist sounds blunt in his words to the woman marrying King David it's another way of stating what God deemed in Genesis and what Jesus recited in the New Testament. Husband and wife are to form a new family unit and that unit is to be their "primary" concern outside of their individual relationships with God. Husband and wife are to be inseparable according to God's plan.
Matthew 19:5-7
5 and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’[a]? 6 So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.”
We are unfortunately in an era where 1 in 2 couples gets divorce within the 1st five years of marriage. It is sad to say but selfishness is at the root.
Matthew 19:8
8 Jesus replied, “Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard.
We as a society no longer deem marriage as sacred. We no longer see it at as permanent. It's seen as, "if I don't like you or it anymore, I will get a divorce." As a society, we change spouses like we change towels. This is not in God's order nor in his plan. However, if one did not make the correct choice from the beginning, then it is more likely to happen. As a society we are seeking what the world thinks of our mate rather than what God thinks. We make our vows in the presence of God, yet do not consult God. Did you know that the enemy's primary goal is to destroy the family unit? Did you know that from day one, his goal is to drive a wedge? Did he not attempt it with Adam and Eve? The goal of the enemy is to have the exact opposite results of God. Remember he wants to be God so the motive is what, "kill, steel and destroy." Selfishness is the quality of the enemy. He uses it in us, to obtain his goal. Why not allow God to use his qualities within us to sustain and prosper what he has deemed shall be?
