Marriage Significance Indicates, Implies and Suggests a Lifelong Reflection of GOD’s Love
When we start to understand why marriage is a big deal, our hearts take on new life. The living response that occurs when two hearts begin to vibrate in harmony again—despite wounds, weariness, or silence, is not just emotional chemistry or compatibility. It is bigger than that!
When you have waited for something for so long and it finally happens, that is what I am trying to explain.
I recall praying for something when I was in the 3rd grade. I prayed HARD! I was hopeful and expecting… What was it? …a packet of colored markers a buddy at school promised me. You know what? He brought them the next day. Yep. You know… I could not wait to get home and stretch out on the front porch to color.
Back to the topic of connection… Hurt changes things. Do you have hope for restoration?
When two hearts begin to vibrate in harmony again, that is a BIG DEAL, especially if one of you had been praying and working toward that expectation. It’s the unreal realization when your marriage reaches spiritual adaptive accommodation. That type of change usually only comes from two people who have chosen to work towards a realization that we must share our wills to surrender.
After time apart emotionally, mentally and physically, renewing mutual trust takes an act of GOD and covenant rekindling. Marriage isn’t just about two people coexisting, but about two lives vibrating in harmony, like strings tuned to the same frequency. I like music.
I don’t play guitar, or Cello, though I wish I was able to play both. Let’s say you two are ‘air’ guitars (more my speed) and one of you was slightly out of tune, and the other would gently adjust to bring harmony.
I had to look this part up: “Resonance happens when one string vibrates and causes another to respond, not by force, but by proximity and shared frequency.” I like that.
It is easier to know how to fix things or adjust in a certain area, when you are near enough to listen. In marriage, resonance is restored not by demanding change, but by tuning oneself to love, humility, kindness, a level of pity (compassion) and mercy.
What hurting or lost individual does not require those attributes to feel whole once more?
Yeshua’s obedience to the Father created character significance (resonance) with His creation. He didn’t overpower us; He attuned to our brokenness and came to spend the time with us to get things turned around.
QUESTION: What would it take to tune yourself to love again?”
CHALLENGE: Place two tuning forks side by side. Strike one and watch the other begin to vibrate. If you decide to do that, what the physical response from the strike. Until then, allow this image to speak to you.
Resonance isn’t loud. It is, however, sensitive. It responds to existence and intention.
In covenant renewal, couples often try to “fix” things with big gestures, but I have watched resonance return through small, consistent acts of adjustments that are filled with prayer, hope, expectation and the honest desire to heal.
Consider Ecclesiastes 4:12: “A cord of three strands is not easily broken.” The tone in marriage is not just between two people, but it includes the divine Thread of the Covenant GOD established.
If trust was damaged, the third strand (GOD’s faithfulness) becomes the stabilizer.
Remember something in your fight to save your relationship: “We” are not alone in this rebuilding. The Third Strand holds us when we cannot hold each other.”
