Preparation for marriage

Because marriage is one of the biggest and most important events in our lives, marriage is a great concern for young people who are about to marry.  However, it is our reality that the right preparation for marriage is not done as well as the great concern about marriage.  Rather than trying to build a true foundation of marriage, too many young people are immersed in non-essential areas such as "love" and realistic preparation for marriage.  But the marriage built on such a non-essential weak foundation cannot help but fall down even if a storm of affliction rages a little bit intense.

                The foundation of marriage is to know that Jesus Christ is our Lord.  This is to believe and acknowledge that our marriage is in the reign of God the Father and His control and that the Lord, who knows and loves us best, is giving us the best.  On that foundation, it means the dedication to love God and love each other as a couple, practicing God's love and neighbor's love, which is the commandment of the Son Jesus.  Based on that dedication, we are constantly experiencing the presence of the Holy Spirit in our marriage.  Only when we know that Christ is our Lord, our marriage will be built on the firm rock, Jesus Christ (1 Cor. 10:4).
