Lesson 3
2. Guarding Against Divorce
Key #2 Love is not a Prerequisite to Marriage
Someone suggested that the middle years of a marriage are the most critical. In the early years, couples want each other and in the later years, they need each other.
From disposable razors to contact lenses, our world has developed a throw away attitude. Assembly line production has so cheapened many products that it is no longer economical to fix them. We simply throw them away and open a new supply.
This attitude has also invaded our homes. Approximately 50% of the marriages in America today are disposed of through divorce. Many couples are trying to beat those odds by living together first. Yet, the Journal of Marriage & the Family has reported that couples who live together before marriage have a more than 40% greater risk of divorce than couples who do not. What then is the solution?
In the last study guide, we examined the first key to guarding your marriage against divorce.
- You must understand that lasting love is not physical attraction.
In this study guide, we will see the next key. - Love is not a prerequisite to marriage.
One of the most damaging views promoted in our culture is that only by falling in love before marriage can a lasting relationship be found. Throughout much of history, and even in many eastern countries today, marriages are arranged, not on the basis of love, but rather on the basis of a commitment to that union. This was also true during Bible times.
In Genesis 24, we find the tender story of Isaac, the child of promise, and his marriage to Rebekah. Abraham’s trusted servant was sent to a far-away land to secure a bride for his son. The only prerequisite to this selection was the leading of God. An important lesson for us today.
In Genesis 24:67, we find the culmination of this process. Shortly after meeting Rebekah for the very first time, the scripture says, “Isaac brought her into the tent of his mother, Sarah, and he married Rebekah. So she became his wife, and he loved her…” The order of events in this passage is significant. Marriage came before love.
Although love is a significant ingredient in the lasting nature of a relationship, it should be noted that developing love is a process, not an event. If a couple is truly committed to the wedding vows they have made in the presence of God, then a marriage can survive until love is developed. Those who have lost their bond of love can re-develop it if they are more committed to their promise than they are to their pride.
Marital Blissters Questions
1. What do statistics show about couples living together before marriage?
2. For a marriage to survive and be guarded against divorce, what is the second thing that must be understood about the commitment of love?
3. What is the difference between courtship and dating? In what way was the arranged marriage between Isaac and Rebekah like courtship? (Genesis 24)
4. What can you do as a wife (and a couple) to be accountable to positive pressures of honoring marriage vows as opposed to negative pressures of dishonoring them?
5. Someone said, “Love is blind, marriage is the eye-opener.” Do you agree or is this backwards? If so, why?
