healthy couple
Ephesians 5:25 33
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave Himself for it, who, having been cleansed by the washing of water with the word, sanctified, and set before Him a glorious church, that it might be holy and without blemish, without spot or wrinkle or such. In the same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. Whoever loves his wife loves himself. No one hates his body at any time, but nourishes and protects it, just as Christ nourishes the church. Therefore, a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and the two become one flesh, and this is a great mystery, I am speaking of Christ and the church. But each of you must love his wife as himself, and each of you must love his wife as himself. also fear her husband
A healthy couple builds a healthy family, and a healthy family builds a healthy society and a healthy nation. Furthermore, a healthy couple is the cornerstone of a healthy world.
Home is the most beautiful place in the world. A beautiful home is where a healthy couple lives, and a healthy home is created by a healthy couple. I hope that each other will be a lesson and grace while thinking about what to do to become a healthy couple.
1. The two must become one.
Matthew 19:4 6. "He who made them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh."
Before we got married, when we were with our parents, we each lived our lives according to our own ways, our personalities, our plans. In order to become a couple, after leaving your parents and becoming a couple through the framework of marriage, you must become one body, not two. One body is not acknowledging two entities, but acknowledging one. The two thoughts must become one. Their plans must become one, and their lives must become one.
You can find in the Bible that a healthy couple cannot be a healthy couple if they cannot become one.
Genesis 21:10-11. “And he said to Abraham, “Cast this slave girl and her son, for the son of this servant shall have no inheritance with my son Isaac.” So Abraham became deeply grieved for his son. I thought differently. Anxiety never came and there was no time for worry to leave, and they became enemies to future generations. We have to wait until we have children by faith according to God's word, but giving Hagar as a concubine because of Sarah, who was impatient, became a problem as a healthy couple.
Genesis 27:41. “Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing his father had blessed him, and said in his heart, ‘The time to mourn for the father is near, and I will kill my brother Jacob. He tried to pass on the blessing to Jacob. The couple had different opinions. In the end, it left the mark of a murder spree between the two sons, and they had to send their beloved son away. For 20 years, Jacob suffered a lot of humiliation by his maternal uncle. A healthy family is one in which the couple becomes one, but when the family is not united, it cannot be a healthy family. Joseph, the eleventh son of Jacob's family, was loved by his parents. The brothers were jealous. When Joseph shared his dream of becoming king, his parents took it deep in their hearts, but the brothers became the object of envy. Eventually, the brothers threw him into a deep pit to kill him, and in the end sold him as a slave. Parents remember how sad they knew Joseph was dead. When families do not become one, unhappiness will eventually result.
Numbers 12:1 3. Aaron and Miriam were in Moses' family, and Aaron and Miriam criticized Moses for marrying a Cushite woman. It is true that Miriam was stricken with leprosy at that time. This is also a tribulation for the family. If the family does not become one, there is no comfort in the home. When a couple becomes one, a family can become one, and when the family becomes one, a healthy family is established.
2. A healthy home is when we love and obey.
"Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself for it." When husbands love their wives, it is the husband's duty to his wife to love as Jesus Christ loved the church. It must be borne in mind that a husband must give his wife a self-sacrificing, devoted love before demanding submission. You must love your wife in this way so that your wife may be holy and without blemish before the glorious Church of the Lord.
If you are not loved and protected by your husband, you will not be protected or loved in the world. No one is evil or flawed from the start. Because the wife does not receive the love and protection she deserves, her heart is broken, an evil heart is created, and flaws are created. People with unhappy circumstances may have personality problems. A husband must love his wife while sacrificing herself so that she can be used beautifully in the Church of God by being flawless and holy. A wife who reciprocates her husband who loves her as her own body is to be submissive. If you ask your wife to obey without love, or if you demand love from your husband without submission, you cannot be satisfied with each other. They make each other uncomfortable. It cannot be a healthy family.
Grey, an 80-year-old grandfather, made morning coffee with the guests he was with, put it on the table, and said, "My bride is still in bed, so I'll bring her coffee." We testify that the back of an old man over 80 bringing coffee to his wife looked like an angel. Just as the Bible says that the outward man grows old, but the inner man is renewed day by day, even a husband in his 80s can have a wife in his 80s as a bride. Bride is not a pronoun for the woman on the first day of marriage. In a marriage that is exhausting and often boring after a long married life, you should try to keep your partner as your bride and groom. A couple who lives like this are successful and healthy couples.
3. When you receive the necessary substances, you become a healthy couple.
There may be many things that a person needs to live, but materials are necessities of life. It would be nice to have a lot, but if you need as much as you need, you can continue a healthy married life. The Bible says, "He who does not want to work shall not eat." Working and eating are linked. It means that those who work get something to eat.
In Matthew 25:14 and below, when the master went to another country, he gave one man five talents, another two talents, and left another man one talent. After many years had passed, he returned and reported to the master, and those who had received the five and two talents immediately went to work and reported that each left a ship. The one who received one talent did not work, but hid it and brought it back. As a result, those who received five and two talents were praised and invited to the master's banquet, and were able to take on more. The person who was in charge of one talent was taken away, scolded, and kicked out. Among the many lessons, those who work will have an abundance, and those who do not will lose everything.
There are many blessed people in the Bible, but I think Jacob was the one who received the most blessings. He was rejected and became the father of kings, so he is a person of blessing. When he was a slave in Laban's house, he was not treated properly as a worker. He faithfully did what he had to do, regardless of the hospitality. “I didn’t abort an animal, I never ate a male, I made up for the bites, I asked if I was robbed during the day or at night, and I worked hard for 20 years, suffering from the heat during the day and the cold at night. After doing this, Laban Even if you do not know this, God inspected and rebuked Laban.
I believe that those who do their best in what they do and do not look to people but look to God will surely bless those who work. A couple can maintain a healthy relationship only when they have the substances necessary for life.
4. The couple must be healthy.
When married, it is joint property between the two of them, neither the man's nor the wife's. When you are healthy, you will do well at work, married life, taking care of children, and living your life of faith. Health takes care of your body. What I am saying may not be medically correct, but for the sake of health, I recommend this.
1) Go to bed early and wake up early.
2) Continue to exercise appropriate for your body. Don't do it all the time, but do it consistently every day as a daily routine.
3) Food Do not overeat, eat the amount you need, and do not overeat.
4) You must not abuse your body. I need a break.
5) Don't be pessimistic, thank God for the blessing of health, look at yourself and don't be afraid.
6) Your home should be a place of rest and relaxation.
7) Don't worry, let's leave it to God and live.
A healthy couple is a couple in which two people live as one, loving and submissive to each other, and receiving the necessary materials.
We wish you and your family a healthy family.
