The Union of Communication, Commitment and ChristCommitment – the pledging, engaging, or entrusting oneself to another in a permanent decision or union between one man and one woman, broken only by death – love cannot operate properly without sacrifice…God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16In a marriage commitment, men are instructed to love their wife as Christ loved the church and gave His life for her. Men who will sacrifice themselves for their wife are living in the true image of Christ.Communication – the imparting or interchange of thoughts, opinions, or information by speech, writing or signs between the husband and wife. Married couples are biblically instructed to speak the truth in love; to be angry and sin not, not to allow the sun go down on your wrath; lift one another up with words of encouragement; learn and operate in the discipline of forgiveness. There is no place for secrets between a man and his wife; it is possible to be angry without sinning but prolonged anger gives Satan an open door to the ones own heart; say only what will help for each word that enhances is a gift; be quick to admit when you've made a mistake.Christ - The anointed, the Messiah, the Title, the Jesus of Nazareth, God's Holy Son – God in flesh. He who was born into this world for the purpose of taking on the sins of the entire world; the invisible force that is in every Christian marriage that when joined together with man and wife complete the marriage to make them one. A personal relationship with Christ keeps marriages on one accord with Christ as the head. The more we focus on God the more married couples draw closer to each other.Combining these three C's will cause any marriage to be blessed and highly favored.Erroll & Glyniel Garner
