What kind of partner you are married to will define your life. It means that the person which you will spend your life with will greatly influence your life. You will either be able to fulfill your life or not depending on the type of partner that you have. We should not look at marriage from a wrong point of view. The union of man and woman in marriage was not originated for sensual carnal pleasure. So, those who follow the opposite sex because they are looking for the one who will satisfy their carnal pleasure are getting it wrong.
The purpose of man's creation was to relate with God. It is only man who has this singular privilege of relating with God personally. Other creatures do not have that privilege of relating with God. When we consider this, we will come to understand that everything that we are doing on earth must agree with this divine agenda for our lives. Even our marriage is one of those things in our lives that must fulfill the purpose of God. When God had created man, he was the one who made the conclusion that it is no good for man to be alone.
We are meant to work with each other and help each other to accomplish the purpose of God. We have to be helpers of one another. We should not become hindrances to our partners in doing the will of God. This is why God expect that we should be prudent
