Marriage and Sacrifice
Just before my wife and I got married she had to resign from her job. We were both working in the same organization then and we could not continue working there as a married couple so someone had to resign.
Before this time, she was a rising star in her office and had already attained the position of Head of her unit in just 3 years. She had great potentials to rise even faster as she was very smart, hardworking, and innovative.
However, we both sat down to do the math, and came up with the decision that she should resign and get another job, while I remain for the stability of our new family. It was a tough decision, but we had prepared ourselves for the sacrifices we needed for success.
At another time in our marriage, my wife's job required her to travel away from home and around the country from Monday to Friday. Our kids were still young and needed the presence of a parent. So for about 2 years, I would finish from work, race home, and ensure I gave them quality time before they finally retire to bed. In this period, I went for no outings, parties, friends meet up, etc. I Sacrificed them all to do my job as a Father.
Eventually, my wife and I realized that her job was taking her away from the family for too long, and we decided that she should not continue that line of work, but get something that will keep her more in town than out of town. - Sacrifice
So marriage is much more than the "I Love you's". There is a lot of RESPONSIBILITY & SACRIFICE.
Many people got into marriage without the requisite knowledge, and worst still, are still trying to run the marriage without getting knowledge. You can't give what you don't have.
There is SO MUCH ABOUT MARRIAGE that so many couples don't know and they just continue in frustration and disappointments. Whereas, if they only knew what to do, they will be living in bliss and joy. Little wonder that the Bible states that " _My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.._ ." (Hosea 4:6) IF YOU REJECT KNOWLEDGE, YOU HAVE AUTOMATICALLY ACCEPTED DESTRUCTION. Don't run away from knowledge. Embrace it.
Almost all of the times I have the opportunity to counsel a couple going through challenges, I discover that either one, or both spouses, are running their affairs with little or no knowledge. It is like driving a car without learning how to, you will eventually find yourself in a ditch.
One of the reasons people don't seek knowledge is because they think they know it all. But only God is omniscient. Another reason is because they are not willing to pay for knowledge. Unfortunately, the same people will spend much more on things that will be consumed, or get out of fashion. Others run because they believe that God should do all the work to make things work. But any Faith that makes God absolutely responsible for the outcome of your life, is an irresponsible faith (Bishop David Oyedepo).
