He knows our frame and our constitution...and He knows that we will get involved not just physically but mentally, intellectually, emotionally and how all not.... and the coming together of two individuals at intimate levels is not just superficial... God has made us such that.... this union makes deep inroads.... and creates deep impact into our being.... it is this characteristic that makes romance so exciting in the first place.... the relationship is so intertwining... union so powerful that the reversal of it has only one way - ripping it apart..... such a ripping causes deep hurts, anguish, frustration and pain.... God knows that it will hurt... and so he has put two checks.... check 1. do not commit adultery/fornication this stops us from entering into a intertwining and intimate relationship without a covenant and promise of staying together at all times... the oath or promise made in the marriage is to protect the interests of both the partners.... marriage acts as a safeguard to a relationship... therefore the oath includes in sickness and in health, in poverty and in richness...good and bad.... etc etc check 2. do not divorce this stops us from ripping ourselves apart from another individual, in the process hurting ourselves and the other person too... but the problem with the world is that, it looks at God as their enemy for putting a leash on their freedom.... they think God is the enemy of their free will and choice and he stands in their way of living their lives as a want to..... while... God is only trying to protect each individual... I hope people will stay away from exposing themselves to relationships and entanglements outside the covenant of marriage... it is too risky and it can literally splinter and shatter the individual when it breaks.... it has messed up lives, it has messed up marriages.... it has messed up innocent children to become worse off than their parents themselves.... the doctor cannot help this guy. God can. But only if he surrenders and approaches God. yes….I think God has instituted marriage and not permitted relationships ‘outside marriage’ not just because He doesn’t like it or its against His plans and designs…. its also because of our make….the way God has made us….and what we are…

the relationship is so intertwining… union so powerful that the reversal of it has only one way - ripping it apart….. such a ripping causes deep hurts, anguish, frustration and pain…. God knows that it will hurt… and so he has put two checks….

check 1. do not commit adultery/fornication
this stops us from entering into a intertwining and intimate relationship without a covenant and promise of staying together at all times… the oath or promise made in the marriage is to protect the interests of both the partners…. marriage acts as a safeguard to a relationship… therefore the oath includes in sickness and in health, in poverty and in richness…good and bad…. etc etc

check 2. do not divorce
this stops us from ripping ourselves apart from another individual, in the process hurting ourselves and the other person too…

but the problem with the world is that, it looks at God as their enemy for putting a leash on their freedom…. they think God is the enemy of their free will and choice and he stands in their way of living their lives as a want to….. while… God is only trying to protect each individual…

I hope people will stay away from exposing themselves to relationships and entanglements outside the covenant of marriage… it is too risky and it can literally splinter and shatter the individual when it breaks…. it has messed up lives, it has messed up marriages…. it has messed up innocent children to become worse off than their parents themselves….

the doctor cannot help this guy. God can. But only if he surrenders and approaches God.
