Marriage is a union of a husband and wife to one another. This is why Paul compared marriage to the union between Me and My bride. For a union to take place in a marriage, both spouses must be willing to lay their life down for one another. Many marriages do not last because one spouse wants to have more out of the marriage than they are receiving.
Satan knows that he cannot prevail against the church, so he has taken the tactic of destroying marriages to demonstrate that people on this earth cannot be one in spirit, soul, and body. Division in churches and marriages is the work of the powerful anti-Christ spirit. However, My Holy Spirit is more powerful than any anti-Christ spirit.
Satan especially enjoys attacking the marriages of those who believe in Me. When marriages are threatened, pull down the strongholds that are causing division and selfishness in the marriage.
Whenever a spouse wants his or her way, the spirit of pride has also entered. The fruits of pride are jealousy and contention. The holy union of marriage can only be broken when one spouse is unwilling to esteem the other spouse higher than themselves. Every relationship in life would be healed if one person in the relationship is willing to lay his or her life down for the other.
