What do people say makes a marriage successful?

Love? Communication? Companionship? Sacrifice? What would you add?

What does the Bible say makes a marriage successful?

“And God blessed them. And God said to them, ‘be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.'” Genesis 1:28. ESV

But none was just right for Adam. God responds with the creation of Eve!

Says Matthew Henry, “She was not made out of his head to top him, not out of his feet to be trampled upon by him, but out of his side to be equal with him, under his arm to be protected by him, and near his heart to be loved.”

1. A wife should see herself as a suitable helper in the same way we see two opposite pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. Fit to be with him. A companionable mirror image.
2. God brought Adam and Eve together to fulfill His purpose.
3. Contrast that with what we all to often hear in our culture: personal fulfillment.
4. Husbands and wives need to see themselves as teammates, working together for God’s purposes.
5. God’s purposes for a man and a woman were greater than themselves and more than either could accomplish alone (Gen. 2:28).

How Husbands and Wives Relate

A wife needs to be more to her husband than a cheerleader. She needs to be a chief confidant, counselor, companion, and accountability partner. Her input is critical to the marriage. Husbands are remiss if they do not seek their wife’s counsel.

Genesis 2:23 suggests the blessing of Eve wowed Adam: “This is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of man.”

Husbands need to have a mind-set of showing their wives how much they love and cherish them God’s way.
