IS YOUR SPOUSE YOUR BEST FRIEND?

July 18, 2021“For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh.” – Genesis 2:24

God has decreed that the most important human relationship in a marriage is with our spouse.

Men and women, we are to leave our fathers and mothers and be joined to our spouse.

It doesn’t mean that we love our parents or our children less, but the priority should always be with our spouse. In other words, the husband and the wife are called to be best friends. There should not be a person on this earth that we are closer to than our spouse. And if there is, our priorities have gotten out of whack and we need to confess our sin to God and ask Him to forgive us and help us reprioritize our life.

I speak often about the importance of a weekly date for a husband and wife. I call it the “falling in love all over again” time. Anne and I still have our weekly date after 40+ years of marriage. Every time, it’s like we are bonded together once again. This continues to amaze me that after all these years I can look at her and say, “Anne, isn’t it amazing? We’ve spent all this time together, and there’s nobody we want to be with more than each other.”

There is nothing like having your spouse as your best friend. It’s marriage as God designed it to be.
