A lot of vital ingredients come together to make a good soup. In a similar manner, a lot of vital ingredients come together to make a successful marriage. One such ingredient is knowledge.
Knowledge is simply how much we know about something. No matter how excited you are about a subject and the teacher, if you lack knowledge of it, you will fail the exams.
Two individuals may love and feel good about each other, but if they don’t know how to communicate or relate well with each other, they will be tense in their home. If the tension is not resolved on time, it may escalate into unforgiveness, anger, bitterness and more.
In situations like this, the knowledge of how to deal with conflict comes in handy, or better still, the knowledge of how to prevent conflict. After all, prevention is better than cure. For example, one such knowledge will be how to respond to one another when provoked. We find this in Proverbs 15:1 which says a soft answer turns away wrath but grievous words stir up anger. A soft answer does not come by default. It takes knowledge.
The root cause of breakdown in many homes today is a lack of knowledge and pride. Pride can lead to the rejection of knowledge or its application. If you notice a gap in any area of your marriage, seek knowledge. Then back it up with prayers. Watch out as things turn around for your good.
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge – Hosea 4:6
