What’s the Secret of a Successful Marriage?

The Bible says that “a cord of three strands is not quickly broken” (Ecclesiastes 4:12). In a marriage the three-strand cord consists of husband, wife and the LORD. As the husband and wife draw nearer to the Lord (James 4:8), they naturally come nearer to each other, as illustrated here:

So “come near to God and he will come near to you” (James 4:8). See this video for some insights on getting tighter with the LORD.

Of course for this principle to truly work, both spouses need to be drawing closer to God (Psalm 105:4). But one spouse seeking the LORD can inspire the other to do the same, which will naturally draw them closer together.
