Sweethearts WHose Marriage Was Mad In Heaven

Bible Reading:  Genesis 24:61-67

Key Verse: Verse 64 – “And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she         

                    lighted off the camel.”

Key Words: when she saw Isaac

The Bible truth regarding Isaac and Rebekah is one of great intrigue to me.  Abraham sends his servant out to find a wife for his son with only three commands.

1. His wife must be one of us (verse 4).
2. She must be submissive (verse 5).
3. You must not fail.  Failure is not an option.

The same principles need to be applied to marriage today.

1. Marry one of your own.  A believer should not marry an unbeliever.
2. Submission for the wife is vital (and I might add, love for the man is vital as well).
3. Failure in marriage should not be an option.

As you read about Isaac and Rebekah, you can see it was indeed a marriage made in heaven.  When we fail to marry in God’s will, unhappiness in the marriage relationship will result.

I recently read about a speaker at a woman’s club who was lecturing on marriage.  She asked the audience how many of them wanted to “mother” their husbands.  One member of the audience in the back row raised her hand.  “You do want to mother your husband?” the speaker asked.  “Mother?” the woman echoed.  “I thought you said smother.”

You need not worry about smothering your mate when your marriage is made in heaven.

What to do:

✞1.  Marry in God’s will.  

    2.  If you are already married and facing problems, remember I Corinthians 13:8a, “Charity never faileth.”
