I think we can learn a lot from this. Trust me… WHO TAUGHT YOU THAT YOU DON’T NEED THIRD PARTY IN YOUR MARRIAGE?
Written By Ayodele Adeoye
Is that why you have been suffering in silence? Is that why you don’t share your pains and worries with anyone for help? No wonder your spouse increases in wickedness daily, because he/she knows you won’t talk to anyone about it.
Who did this damage to our marriages? Who taught you this imbalanced idea? Where do they find that in the Bible? Who told you not to let third party into your marriage without defining who a third party is?
Many people today are suffering from chronic domestic violence and depression; sadly they’ve been taught that they don’t need third parties so they kept it to themselves. Some are going through trauma and frustration which they can’t share with anyone because third parties are not allowed. Some have even died in the process yet no one knows what killed them.
It’s time to loose this band of wickedness we tied on the people. “No Third Party In Marriage” is man’s philosophy and that’s why it has become more of a cancer than medicine. It’s doing more harm than good. Let’s kill it before it kills our marriages.
The third parties you don’t need in your marriage are intruders, selfish people, haters, pretenders, evil and wicked people etc and not those who genuinely love you, counsellors, prayer partners, godly people etc. You need good third parties to learn from, seek advice from; you need third parties who can pray for you and with you, third parties who can settle your quarrels, third parties who understand marriage more than you etc. Don’t die in silence when you can speak to someone who can help you.
The reason why that your wife/ husband is still abusing you is because no one is aware of it. If you don’t speak out she/ he may not likely stop. Talk to people she/he respects and fears who can correct her/ him before her/ his abusiveness becomes an addiction. If you die in silence instead of getting help, it will be counted against you as suicide. Don’t commit suicide when you can get help.
Before we became adults our parents taught us.
Before we became professionals our teachers taught us.
Before we became godly our clergy taught us.
Before we became experienced we learnt from others.
Marriage cannot work in isolation, we need good people around to contribute little to make it work.
Peaceful home is our concern!
