The Threefold Cord
“And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not easily broken”- Eccl 4:12
Have you ever heard of the “three fold cord”? It can be defined as three strings intertwined into each other. In this context, the three fold cord refers to you, your spouse and God.
Hmmmm….
More often than not, the reason a lot of marriages or relationships fail is because people fail to involve the one who holds all things together-God. We enter into marriage thinking that we have “love” and every other thing it takes to make a marriage work. We forget that even though “love” is a necessary element, it is not sufficient.
We watch movies that tell us “what to expect when expecting” J or “what to expect in marriage” and we say to ourselves “Getting married and having a happy home should be a piece of cake”. Then we get married and begin to question the use of “discretion” in whom we chose to marry!
Today, I want to tell you about the place of the “three fold cord” in enjoying your marriage or relationship. Any relationship that isn’t intertwined with God can’t go far and even if it does, it won’t overcome the challenges and obstacles to come. Yes! No relationship or marriage is constantly smooth-sailing and when the storms arise, you need a go-to “person” that can direct you on the best step to take. Marriage is an institution ordained by God and that puts Him in a position to know how best to enjoy it; so give me one good reason why you shouldn’t involve Him?
In your relationship, you should pray together; study God’s word together and bring each other closer to God. Your relationship should be between you, your partner and God so that it won’t be easily broken.
