Key #3 The Focus of Love Is on God, not Spouse
The sign on the newlyweds’ car read, “We One!”
In II Corinthians 6:14, the Holy Spirit emphasizes the necessity of becoming partners with a person only if he or she shares your same spiritual values. An application to marriage can surely be seen here. “Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?”
The word yoke is used in this passage to bring a picture to your mind. Just as two animals that are attached by a yoke will be miserable when pulling in different directions, so the life of a Christian will be made miserable if they are yoked to a non-Christian.
Below is an illustration that I have used on many occasions to explain the focus of love in a marriage. The triangle relationship is without question the most stable and lasting relationship that a couple can ever hope to achieve in this life. When applied properly, this approach to marriage can unite two people so deeply that nothing, including death, can fully separate them. I call it “The God Glue!” It is the eternal adhesive.
3. The Focus of Love is on God, not Spouse
Many years ago, I said something to my wife that you might find surprising. I told her that she would never be number one in my life. Actually, she told me the same thing. Without question, this has been the happiest resolution of our union. This acknowledgment is the key to making the “The God Glue” work successfully. No one can be at the top center position other than Christ—not children, spouse, or any other things that the world holds so dear. Christ must be the focus of the relationship.
Notice the directions of the arrows in the illustration. They are not pointing from the man to the woman or from the woman to the man. That is the mistake couples have made since almost the beginning of time. The arrows point only in one direction—toward Christ. Lasting relationships are made in Heaven.
Notice also that Christ is the goal. The closer the couple moves toward Him, the closer they move to each other. Once they arrive at a full relationship with Jesus, they also arrive at a full relationship with each other. Too many couples believe that the goal of marriage is to move closer to their spouse. That is a mistake! God is the glue! A common relationship with Him can seal your union better than any amount of research or marital counseling can ever hope to achieve. Move toward Christ.
Jesus is the only element of a person’s life that is truly consistent and stable. People will always fail us, but Christ will always be true! Cindy and I love each other very much, but over the years we have disappointed each other in many ways. If the focus of our relationship had been on each other, we may have given up a long time ago. But, because Christ is the center of our relationship, human frailties do not distract us. We stay together because we are Christians. We made a promise to Christ long before we made a promise to each other.
Cindy and I have one rule in our home about the word “divorce.” We do not talk about it, joke about it, or threaten with it. It is not an option! As Christians, we have a higher priority than each other. We serve Christ first.
Marriage will always have its hurdles. Put Christ first, each other second, and your relationship will last!
