The couple now must endeavour to live a two- fold life of thoughtfulness and action as everything they do will have a lasting effect upon their relationship. Communication with God in prayer to help them in their lives will prove valuable to the quality of their lives, as this can only help them in the preparation of their daily duties and keep them in peace each day.
To the couple their truest sentiments can be seen in the admiration and love for each other, and although one may feel the deficiency of their character and the smallness of their ability in comparison to the other must not let it stand in the way of growing and blossoming into the wonderful couple they can become. To be happy in the married state is one of the most important things that can engage the couple; for to be happy in marriage one has to be well-matched in a partnership.
Marriage is like a machine, although it may be perfect in all its parts there will be a lot of friction in its movements, however with a little oil applied it perform its work quietly and efficiently, so with us when the oil of patience is applied the two will be able to avoid the friction that may arise between them. The oil of tolerance will then enable their labour to become one of love.
Marriage is often compared to a machine because it requires maintenance, balance, and the right components working together to function smoothly. Here are some standard truths that highlight this analogy:
1. Proper Assembly & Foundation
Like a well-built machine, a strong marriage starts with a solid foundation—shared values, mutual respect, and love. Without these core elements, the structure weakens, leading to breakdowns over time.
2. Continuous Maintenance
No machine runs indefinitely without care. Marriage, too, requires regular attention—communication, emotional connection, and acts of kindness. Neglecting these essential aspects can lead to wear and tear.
3. Synchronization & Adaptability
Machines rely on different parts working in harmony. In marriage, both partners must align their goals, compromise, and adjust as life evolves. If one part resists change while the other moves forward, friction develops.
4. Handling Pressure & Stress
Machines endure pressure, and marriage faces trials. Learning how to manage conflicts, trust each other, and navigate challenges ensures resilience rather than breakdown.
5. Energy & Fuel
Every machine needs energy to keep running. Marriage thrives on encouragement, love, shared experiences, and faith. If the relationship runs on negativity, resentment, or neglect, it loses its vitality.
6. The Right Tools & Skills
A machine requires the right tools for repair and upgrades. Similarly, marriage benefits from wisdom, patience, emotional intelligence, and support from mentors or faith-based guidance.
7. Longevity Through Care
Machines last longer when treated with care rather than rough handling. A marriage built on kindness, appreciation, and intentional effort lasts through seasons of hardship and joy
It is a wonderful thing not just to be in love, but to be married to the one you love. Do not be blinded by love into thinking matrimony is a state of happiness ever after. Never view matrimony as uninterrupted happiness, with no cloud to intercept its sunshine, no storms to interrupt its peace; if you cherish these thoughts you will be disappointed.Above all remember in order to keep love alive you must continue to exercise patience, trust and love for each other. Maintaining respect one for the other as these graces are important elements in every successful relationship; inspiring each other with fresh zeal with each passing day keeping your hearts warm with love for each other; overcoming all your weakness, indecisions and inefficiencies as you grow stronger in your love and relationship.
