I know that the world over, people have developed such a negative attitude towards marriage and see it as a place of problems and failure. Others will even go the extent of joking that once you get married, it is the beginning of problems.
RELATIONSHIPS WITH KILTON MOYO
It is such mindsets that cause many people to fail in marriage because they enter into it with a wrong perception and understanding. I am on record as saying always that marriage does not fail but people fail.
One reason why people fail in marriage is this wrong worldly perception of marriage and the unwillingness to do marriage the right way.
The world tends to think that marriage must and shall give them everything they so desire and want. Many get married and get so lazy to do what they are supposed to do and fail only to blame marriage. Today I want not only to defend marriage but to convince you marriage is not a problem at all.
In reality, marriage is a place where problems are faced and resolved. Marriage operates on what I call “the power of two”. Right from the beginning of creation, we see God creating two people and putting them in marriage so they could “pursue” His creation mandate.
He wants to fill the whole earth, He has created, with His own people in His own image and in His wisdom, He creates a marriage to resolve that issue. Genesis 1 and 2 can show you what I am talking about.
He blesses the marriage (couple) with the capacity, ability and mindset to face up to the challenges and bring about the mandate. Ecclesiastes 4 talks about how two people are better than one. A married couple are the “two” that are ordained by God.

This is where we get the power of two. The power to solve and resolve and have dominion over things is with the two. Marriage is the divine manner of facing problems of the world. Marriage is the divine response to the problems of the world.
It has such power and capacity it can resolve any issue. Marriage is not designed to fail but to overcome and exercise dominion over all things.
It is, therefore, wrong for the world to think otherwise about marriage. The devil has lied to people about marriage so that it can lose its mandate. marriage does not fail. Your marriage can solve your issue. Your marriage is designed to handle that issue.
The challenge is that you are thinking negatively and you think you married a wrong person or you think your marriage has failed. That is deception. There is no problem too big and too strong for marriage as long as you understand the power given to you as a couple.
Look at Genesis 1: 28 and see the power you hold as a couple. God has blessed each couple with four great abilities and capacities and authority. He has blessed and equipped us with fruitfulness, multiplication (procreation) so we could fill the earth with his image, stewardship and dominion over all things.
The couple is His Kingdom agent on the earth to rule and subdue the rest of creation, including satanic forces that are infringing upon it. As a couple you have the mandate and authority to deal with whatever satanic force working against your marriage and dominion. You have power over divorce, arguments, lack, drunkenness, witchcraft, temper, wrong behaviour, adultery and everything else.
You see, marriage was and is designed to tackle any issue and resolve it. Unfortunately, many people are cowards and with a fugitive mind that runs from one marriage to another.
Many people do not want to fight for anything good. The people are confused and do not know and understand the power they are into, in marriage. All we do is to play the devil’s advocates in destroying the plans of God for His people. Remember that the devil’s plan is to make us anti-Christ.
Dearly beloved in marriage, know and understand this that you can deal with any problem. You have the power and the capacity. All you need to do is get wisdom, understanding and knowledge so you can occupy that space with great joy and victory.
Marriage is a place of victory and not failure. Marriage can face up to any problem. Marriage is a divine manner of facing problems of the world. Rise up to the occasion, therefore, and have dominion.
Marriage was not designed to collapse under any pressure whatsoever. What God has blessed cannot be cursed or fail. Whatsoever is born of God overcomes the world.
If only we could listen to the One who created marriage, we would be joyful, happy and excited in our marriages.
