Genesis 2:18,24: “
And the Lord said, it is not good that the man should be alone, I will make him an help meet for him… therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife; and they shall be one flesh.”
The family is the foundation of civilisation. It is the church within a church. It is a world within a world. It is the building block of the society. It is the root of both church and the state.
The family is like a book; the children are the pages and the parents are the cover. Nobody has a choice how he is to be born or given birth to. The concept of family originated from God and it is the school of human virtues. If things go right in the family, if marriages go right, everything will go right everywhere.
WEDLOCK OR PADLOCK?
Many people will help you to organise your wedding, but marriage is between two people. The next horrible thing after hell fire is a bad marriage. Marriage is an institution created by God. Marriage can make or mar your life in no small measure. But a good and godly marriage is a bedrock of correct living and success.
There is no difference between wedlock and padlock. Wedlock is padlock ? Those concerned are padlocked. Marriage is either a holy wedlock or an unholy padlock. The wedding ring that many people desire so much is the smallest handcuff in history. The truth is: it is better to be laughed at that you are not married than for you to be unable to laugh because you are married…
When a marriage is wrong, the children from such a marriage are in bondage… The enemy knows that once he causes disunity in a home, that family would not move forward.

KEYS TO A HAPPY MARRIAGE
Understand the weaknesses of your spouse and pray for him/her to overcome them.
Whewwe treated the keys to a happy marriage. We made it clear that God instituted marriage and that His purpose is for you to enjoy and not to endure it. We also learned some keys to a happy marriage.
Another key, according to our memory verse in Proverbs 21:9, is that a wife should be a peacemaker in the house. A wife who is a peacemaker is a winner. A wife with an argumentative spirit makes life miserable for her husband. When a man knows that he will be warmly welcomed by a contended and peaceful wife, he looks forward to going home on time.
Communication is another key to a happy marriage. Every couple should make it a point of duty to communicate effectively with each other. Don’t form the habit of communicating with your spouse through text message, WhatsApp or written note under the pillow. This particular habit has made a man to lose a big contract which could have led to his family’s breakthroughs. A wife got the message from him but because she was not in talking terms with her husband, she wrote the reply and put it under the pillow. It was too late when the husband eventually saw the message.
An open door of effective communication with your spouse will give you a happy and peaceful relationship. Better communication means better satisfaction in a relationship in which you discuss everything with each other and thus reduce the incidence of fight or quarrel. For communication to be effective in marriage, couples should learn how to be specific when issues arise. A statement like “that’s what you do all time” is not helpful nor healthy for marriage. Still on tips of effective communication, at times, when you feel bitter or disappointed about an issue, try and communicate it to each other in order for change to occur.
But in so doing, try as much as possible to express the negative feelings constructively instead of abusively or by condemning your spouse. Also, to have an effective communication and a successful marriage, both spouses must be able to hear each other’s complaints without getting defensive.
