Holy Matrimony

Are you intending to enter a "Holy Matrimony" or an "Unholy Matrimony?"
Will you recognise that which is Unholy in your marriage?
What will you do about it? When? Why? How?
What if the Unholiness is not all yours?
How will you broach the subject? Why? When? Where?
Will you call in help - that helps - if you need it?

"Weeds are easier to pull and get rid of when the ground is soft and the weeds are still small - and also big enough. You cannot pull very tiny weeds."

You will not even SEE the weeds unless you regularly and objectively survey your "marriage garden."

Do your personal weeds need a good "spray" so that they will die because they are poisoned; or do they need rooting out entirely?
How will you successfully "spray" some of the weeds of your significant other?
What will you do about the "spraying" and rooting out that may be needed, and is not possible for you to do because it is not your stewardship?

Rejoice and be patient with all your good plantings - they may yield their beauty and strength in due time. Some of your good intentioned and planned plantings will not survive in your garden - they may need conditions that are not possible in your marriage. Some unexpected beautiful plants will naturally spring up in the environment you are able to provide - wonderful surprises when you discover and identify them! Celebrate them - they are gifts!
There are many, many beautiful, good and suitable "plants" from Heavenly Father's "Nursery" from which you can choose. Choose from His variety. You will not be able to have all of His plants in your mariage garden. Design and tend your unique "Marriage Garden" - your personal offering to God, and each other, and your children born and unborn. Design and tend your marriage garden which will be possible for you - mainly one (or only one), or you two (equally or unequally) - both to flourish and have great joy in.

God is the Great Gardener of each "Marriage Garden".
"Marriage is ordained of God."
Consult Him.
Listen to Him.
He is the Only One who really knows "Best" in each individual marriage design, tending and purpose.

Significant Marriage Gardening to us all in our individual gardens in all the places of the great wide world - and on other worlds without number...
