Two people bound by Him have a greater strength than either of them ever had alone. In marriage, that means the joy of having a partner, a helper, a constant “got-your-back” teammate. Remember that if God calls us into a new season, it’s because He has something greater to share with us. We may enter a marriage after years of living the single life, and that takes a little ( or a lotta) adjusting. We like not having to run our decisions by anyone. This can be tough for the fiercely independent among us maybe self-sufficiency just comes naturally. These verses remind us that “ Two are better than one.” They highlight the importance of doing life together – no longer seeing ourselves as alone. A cord of three strands is not easily broken.” Also, if two lie down together, they can keep warm but how can one person alone keep warm? And if someone overpowers one person, two can resist him. For if either falls, his companion can lift him up but pity the one who falls without another to lift him up. “Two are better than one because they have a good reward for their efforts. Know someone getting married soon? Or maybe recently? It’s a great time to remind them of His promises for their life together. One thing is for certain: The journey is not always easy or predictable, but God has promised to guide them every step of the way. What an amazing, challenging, life-changing experience. The real journey starts when all the decorations have come down, goodbyes have been said, and there are two people left who’ve been joined together for a lifetime. While we love the big celebration - two hearts becoming one, the flowers, the matching bridesmaid dresses, crying relatives (and sometimes even the chocolate fountain), we know that a wedding day is just the beginning. It’s often been said that A wedding lasts a day, but a marriage lasts a lifetime.
