Marriage: Making Christ the Third Strand

📖 Introduction

Marriage is more than a union of two people; it is a sacred covenant designed by God. When Christ is invited into this union, He becomes the third strand, uniting the couple with strength beyond human ability. Ecclesiastes 4:12 reminds us, "Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken." This imagery beautifully portrays how couples who weave Christ into their relationship build a resilient and enduring marriage.

Making Christ the third strand means prioritizing faith, grace, and love in daily decisions and interactions. It involves seeking His guidance, leaning on His strength during trials, and celebrating victories through gratitude. Marriage becomes a testament to God's glory when Christ is central, transforming challenges into opportunities for growth.
