Success In Marriage by Faith & David O. Oyedepo

I am excited about writing this book on marriage in collaboration with my husband. I believe that the revelations God gave him on marriage years before we were married, and which have worked for us, need to be shared.
Our marriage has been very exciting. I have tasted God's goodness in it, and I must say that I'm thoroughly enjoying myself. I often humorously say that although the Bible makes it very clear that there is no marriage in heaven (and I believe it), but I believe my mansion will be next to my husband's when we finally get to heaven! I can't imagine what heaven will be like for me otherwise.
Marriage is The legal union of a man and woman as husband and wife. It is the foundation for the Family, because until it is in place, there can be no Family. A Family is a social group in society, consisting of a man and woman and their offspring.
Marriage is meant to be exciting. If yours has lost its excitement, God can impart His joy and goodness into it once again. He can make something special out of your home.
I saw something in Genesis 2:7, that changed my life.
And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
God made man out of dust, a valueless thing. No one goes out in search of dust. As a matter of fact, when your shoes gather a bit of dust, you wipe it off. That tells you just how valuable dust is. But as worthless as it is, God made something worthwhile out of it.
We can draw a spiritual parallel from this: no matter how worthless you regard your spouse, something glorious can still come out of him or her. You may think your marriage is valueless, but God can make something outstanding of it.
Not only that. God did not fold His arms after forming man from dust. He also breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul. What transforms ordinary dust to a living soul is the breath of life. Isaiah 34:16 tells us what that breath is:
Seek ye out of the book of the Lord, and read: no one of these shall fail, none shall want her mate: for my mouth it hath commanded, and his spirit it hath gathered them.
I believe that the breath of life is what has been gathered together and compiled into the Bible. So, whatever is revealed in the Word and is received has the power to transform an ordinary man into an extraordinary person. The same is true concerning marriage. No matter how hopeless your home may seem now, when you open up to the Word of God, God will make a success out of it.
So many marriages are "dead" today, even though both parties are still living together. This could be due to the absence of the "breath of life" (the Word of God) in such marriages. As soon as that breath comes into your home, it will come alive. And just as Adam became a living soul by the breath of life, your marriage too will become a living marriage!
My greatest heart desire for you as you read this book and apply the principles therein, is that your home will come alive and become full of joy, laughter and excitement, as mine is. It is well with you!
