Marriage Mimic’s Our Spiritual Relationship with Christ
We see the promise of eternal bliss in an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ, illustrated in marriage, (your relationship with your wife), parent -child, and friendship.
We know the possibility of a perfect relationship without spot, wrinkle, or blemish.
We see this in the Eternal and unending joy that the God Father and God the Son and Holy Spirit experienced prior to the interruption of the event of the cross when Jesus became sin for us, and God had to turn his head!!
That perfect eternal relationship was broken.
Marriage is probably the most important illustration and teaching tool of what God is after in terms of His relationship to us. What I have been noticing is the complexity of being born into and raised by sinful, broken people who are not only imperfect but have a nature to be rebellious towards the very One who created them.

After salvation the Holy Spirit, God Himself enters in to our being and we began to experience a higher plane in terms of our relationship with Him. (Even the possibility of a perfect relationship with a perfect being).
In order for us to have an intimate relationship with God Our nature has to reflect the nature of Christ and through the blood of Christ God sees us as alive, not dead in our sins.
Without the life of Christ in us we are just like zombies.
It certainly wouldn’t work to have a relationship with a dead person, physically or spiritually. Marriage seems to mimic our spiritual relationship with Christ in many ways. As successful healthy marriage is very godly (if it follows the same path of pursuit spiritually), In practical terms, all of the same things that would interrupt our fellowship with God can also interrupt a marriage.
For example, we have a supernatural enemy who is against any harmony and love and will do anything to destroy marriage. We have our fleshly desires and our selfishness which continues to try to put ourselves on the throne of our lives and certainly is only in love with self.
We have a multitude of distractions that continually causes us to wander off of that very clear simple path. We have all pressures dealing with our human body; aging, health, survival, and safety.
The challenge in both relationships are real and seemingly unending. Our blessed Hope is to be free from all that would come between that oneness.
The minute by minute work is pruning out anything that comes between that.
Thank God for GRACE that comes down from the Father of lights saving us continually from ourselves.
It is easier for a small child to love. They don’t focus on the bad in a person.
