God's purpose in Marriage





Basically there are FIVE "P" -  God's purposes in Marriage

1. Pro-life 
This is the basic purpose why God call a man and a woman in Marriage union. 
As stated in Gen 1 : 28 " Have many children so that your descendants will live all over the earth and bring it under their control. "

2. Pleasure in Relationship
Marriage union is between one man and one woman and both of them should enjoy the joy in the marriage.
Marriage life is not happily ever after story and there are always challenges in every stage of life but the question is how we could find the joy in marriage life despite all the challenges we face.

3. Passion of Love
We are created to love each other because God is love. Love is the foundation of marriage life, love is not only about feeling. It's also about a choice and a commitment to endure and persevere in tribulation times.
As stated in 1 Cor 13 : 4 - 8
"Love is patient and kind, it's not jealous or conceited or proud, Love is not ill-mannered or selfish or irritable ; love does not keep a record of wrongs ; love is not happy with evil but is happy with truth. Love never gives up and its faith, hope and patience never fail. Love is eternal"

4. Pledge of Commitment
When we exchanged our wedding vow in front of altar and witnesses, we have committed to be with one another until death do us apart.
That's not just a promise but a covenant that we made with God.
It has a powerful obligation. Marriage is a serious matter. It's not just a children play. We need to commit to be true and stay side by side in good and bad times.

5. Power for Mission
Last but not least, we are called to be a living testimony about Love.
Marriage is not just about husband and wife and children. God uses us to be His instrument to evangelise others and let others see and understand about what Love is.

Reset to Zero Ground

Last week was an emotional roller coaster, as I mentioned in my previous blog . On September 28th, I received a revelation: my period arrived eight days earlier than expected according to my app. I was overjoyed, believing that God had answered my prayers. This felt like a sign that being a stay-at-home mom was my next role. I had promised God that if I wasn’t pregnant, I would be willing to follow His will, including nurturing my three boys at home. My first reaction was one of disbelief: "Really? Is this it, God? The end of my career and all my hard work?" Then, I met Tante Elaine, a speaker from Indonesia invited to discuss the importance of being fruitful. Her life story resonated deeply with me and provided another affirmation of my path. She reassured me that I am multitalented and that God might have plans for me that are greater than I can imagine for His Kingdom. She encouraged me to be patient during this process, reminding me that just because we can’t see the frui...
