Age And Marriage 2

by Olawale Ogunsola  
5/09/2021 / Marriage


In part one of this tittle, I discussed the essence of age differences in marriage relationship. Ruth's marriage to Boaz was briefly examined to bring out certain truth from their story. Let me state here that this case study was related to a remarriage. The question is will Ruth agree to marry a man old enough to be her father as a virgin? God knows better! However, it is better to dance to the tune of God's music at the right time than become a wounded fellow to do the dancing by force. The scar will remain permanent on the history of such person.

Now, to the purpose of this piece, let us consider the possibility of a young lady getting married to a young man of her age group. Is it a sin? The answer is "no!" The Scriptures, I think, does not say so. If not, the Scriptures will not talk about "the wife of your youth" in Malachi 2:15 as it reveals :,
"But did He not make them one,
Having a reminant of the spirit?
And why one?
He seeks godly offspring.
Therefore take heed to your spirit,
And let none deal treacherously
with the wife of his youth." Malachi 2:15 NKJV.

Are you convinced that your Creator is not an author of confusion? He is not in any way against two young people getting married together. Where it happens, they still need the wisdom and direction of the Maker, where it is available the counsel of a matured person(s), who is also spiritually matured. Such a fellow will be able to guide and guard the young family. They should not lean on their own little understanding.

It is possible that parents of both husband and wife or of either of them who have acquired the right experience can fit into these shoes of guiding counselors to the new family. A true Minister of God can play the role effectively and efficiently, if he or she is gifted to play this part.

Not all Ministers are gifted to handle family matters. This is a great mistake, and a common one, that people make, thinking that every man of God should be able to handle marital issues. This is not so. It is an office that has been given to certain servants of God who cannot only build a new home but can rebuild and reconstruct a dilapidated marital building. Let them do their work!

Two, youths who are married according to God's directives can enjoy a lasting peaceful home; they must flee every youthful counsel of their peers. These may be detrimental to their successful marital home. This was the undoing of Rehoboam's kingdom after he was enthroned as a successor to his father, king Solomon.

What really happened?

He wanted to run a successful government, this is a common desire of a serious leader. The people he wanted to rule came with an important request,
"Your father made our yoke heavy: now therefore, lighten the burdensome service of your father, and his heavy yoke which he puts on us, and we will serve you." I King 12:4. NKJV.

He sent away people's representatives to come again after three days. This afforded the king an opportunity to consult with members of his cabinet to know what to say.

The experienced people who reigned with his father advised him to heed the request of the people for peace to reign in his days. However, he rejected their wise counsel totally. He, on the other hand followed the counsel of his peers to his own detrimental.

What was it?

"This you should speak to this people who have spoken to you," My little finger shall be thicker than my father's waist! And now, whereas my father put a heavy yoke on you, I will add to your yoke ; my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scourges!" I Kings 12:10-11.

What was the outcome of this?

The government became divided. He was given only two out of the twelve tribes of Israel. Who suffered the loss? He bore the brunt; so it is with you if you detest the counsel of wise and experienced minds. You will bear the burden if you heed the counsel of those who grow with you. Therefore, find out those who can fertise your home to make it grow successfully. Heed their wise counsel. It will be to your advantage.

Moreover, fall in love with reading books on marriage. There are so many books that are practical that will help you and your marriage. Find them out and follow their recommendations.

Finally, never forget to ask yourself this important question, "What does the Holy Bible say?" on any issue of your marriage. Find it out and act on what Holy Book says. You will not regret it.
Stay blessed and prepared for the coming of the Lord that is imminent.
Note. All Scriptures quoted are from New King James Version.
