Types of Marriages (1)
As relates to the parable of the sower; a sower went to sow seeds. Some fell on the roadside and the birds of the air came and ate them. Some fell on the rock, grew for some time, and due to lack of soil died out. Some fell among thorns and though sprung up were choked by the thorns to death. Others fell on good soil, grew and bore fruit; thirtyfold, sixtyfold, and hundredfold.
In marriage, some people marry and due to lack of knowledge and wisdom do not survive in the institution. They allow themselves to be influenced by others and have their visions taken away from them.
Others seem to flourish but because they do not continue in the principles laid down by the Almighty God who instituted the marriage institution but follow the ways of the world, they fade away after some time. What would have been a promising marriage die out. It is not that the conditions were not appropriate for growth but bad influence caused their downfall.
The third type; those that fall among thorns, is that though there is enough soil they find themselves among groups or inappropriate relationships; are influenced by them and this marriage killers snuff out their marriage..
Those who fall on good soil are those who allow the Word of God Almighty to be their guide. Through rain or shine they remain steadfast, oblivious of the promise they made before God, angels, and men that what they have entered into is a life-long process.
They will not break their promise under any condition and hence strive to make the marriage work. They will not allow intruders to dictate to them on how to manage or conduct the affairs of their marriages.
