[00:00:00] Chapter 15 What's the DNA of your marriage? I am revealing here one of the biggest mistakes
[00:00:10] couples can make in their marital journey. The Spirit of God helped me and my wife to
[00:00:15] understand this secret many years ago. What did we learn? We learned never to compare
[00:00:22] our marriage with other marriages, even if the marriage is that of our highly beloved
[00:00:27] mentor with all His anointing. We are not to run our marriage using His marriage as
[00:00:32] the complete guide. Now, let me quickly inform you that what I am talking about here does
[00:00:39] not rule out the fact that our mentor is not qualified to influence us or even mentor
[00:00:43] us in marriage. No, that's not what I'm driving at here. What we found out.
[00:00:52] We understood that the DNA of each marriage is different. Every Christian husband or couple
[00:00:58] must find out through the help of the Holy Spirit, the DNA or uniqueness of their own marriages.
[00:01:03] DNA which stands for the oxal ribonucleic acid is defined as a nucleot acid that contains
[00:01:14] the genetic code. No marriage is the same. This is the simple truth if we have to look
[00:01:21] at all the factors and situations that bring each marriage into place, even just as I said earlier.
[00:01:28] If that marriage is that of your lovely parents or pastors, you should not use completely their
[00:01:33] marriage experience to determine the route your own marriage must take. Check out the likely
[00:01:39] differences. The cultural background of your wife is different from that of your pastor's wife,
[00:01:45] the spiritual background, education, social and other situations and conditions are completely
[00:01:51] different. So you have to let the Holy Spirit help you do a study of who your wife is.
[00:01:58] Wives must also do this too. There's no need to compare your husband to the one of another woman
[00:02:04] in another marriage. If you follow this advice, you will be able to take your time to discover
[00:02:10] the DNA of your own marriage and you will be able to apply wisdom and composing yourself in the
[00:02:15] marriage. This is one of the scriptural routes to a life of peace and tranquility in a marriage.
[00:02:23] The truth is that, from what we've discovered, it's after you've discovered your own
[00:02:27] marriage DNA or uniqueness. That's when you'll be able to enjoy the spiritual mentorship of
[00:02:33] your spiritual mentors. Husband can now apply wisdom. As a Christian husband, if you've been able
[00:02:42] to understand who your wife is, you will be able to apply wisdom to deal with her on a daily basis
[00:02:48] as commanded by God in 1 Peter 3, verse 7. You can have people and marriages you look up to as mentors
[00:02:56] and as role examples but you should still understand that you and your wife still have to deal with
[00:03:02] issues according to the uniqueness of your marriage. Prayer. Spirit of God, open my eyes to see
[00:03:10] everything I need to know about my wife and my marriage in Jesus' name. Amen.
