In his sermon at the church service, the Officiating Minister, Pastor Elisha Ariyo, who spoke on the topic, “Make your marriage work”, described marriage as the first institution created by God.
“Marriage was established by God Himself, after he brought Adam and Eve together as husband and wife, he built a house for them in the garden of eden.
“For your marriage to work there are seven essentials which must not be lacking. Your marriage must be established upon the rock of ages, make love for each other a priority, submission and humility should be mutual, regular sex without condition, forgiveness, trust in each other and unity of purpose corroborating each other in all things.
“Some of the instruments often used by Satan to destroy the home are jealousy, hatred, suspicion amongst others, guide against these as divorce is forbidden in a christian home”, the man of God stressed.
