On Easter or Resurrection Sunday, Christians celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ following his death after being crucified by the Romans. This powerful demonstration of the Son of God's self-sacrifice for human sins provides a wellspring of life lessons that can be incorporated into our lives, particularly in marriage. For example, we can strive to give without expecting rewards; forgive transgressions; offer love unconditionally; and not give up on our relationships - even when they seem lifeless. Additionally, Jesus' resurrection also underscores our need to deeply imbibe values that promote marital bliss and love. The following are five such lessons.
Offer Unconditional Love :
Jesus Christ teaches us the power of unconditional love. He is the personification of love and even gave his life for our sins. Let this be an example in your marriage. Have no expectations, rather offer unconditional love and kindness to your spouse. This selfless act from Jesus should be mirrored in your relationship to make it strong. Showing such generosity to one another will bring great rewards to your marriage.
Put Relationship Ahead Of The Rules:
There are many instances when societal rules and regulations overshadow the love that a couple shares and put the marriage through rough roads. According to Jesus Christ, rules and regulations are there for the well-being of humans and their relationships; any rules or regulations broken sooner rather than letting them affect a happy marriage, should be broken as soon as possible. Several religious laws were turned upside down by Jesus, and you have to take this lesson from him and value relationships over all else.
Forgive Their Mistakes :
As Jesus Christ was crucified, his last words were a reminder of the power of forgiveness: "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” This powerful lesson from Easter should be applied to marriages and partnerships; we must learn to show forgiveness to our beloved even when they make mistakes. Forgiveness is essential in any Christian belief system and having it in your marriage will strengthen it. When your spouse errs, no matter how major or minor their mistake may be, you should strive to forgive them unconditionally.
Choose To Keep Promises :
Jesus Christ said, “You know in your hearts and souls that all the good things the Lord your God promised have come to pass. Not one has failed.” He strongly believed that keeping promises was essential, which is why he stood by each one he made to humanity, even returning so He could fulfil the promise of Easter. His key lesson should be taken into marriage, signifying that all vows given must be kept indefinitely.
Restore And Resurrect Marriage After Death :
The biggest lesson that one must take from Easter is the message of being reborn from death. On Easter Sunday, Jesus Christ was resurrected; you should be able to rejuvinate and restore your marriage too even if it has reached a low point. No matter how complex things may seem in the marriage, having faith in God, love and yourself can propell a seemingly dead marriage back to life. Brides and grooms, boys and girls, all of you should have confidence that God is the redeemer and the restorer and can bring your marriage back on track.
Several of Jesus' life lessons can make marriage a heaven if they are incorporated into it. From Easter, there are many lessons one should take in his/her marriage, whether it is loving unconditionally, forgiving always, keeping marriage above all rules, keeping promises, or reviving marriage after all difficulties.
