It is the believe of most people that love is the basis of all marriages, saying that once an undiluted love exist between a man and a woman, surely their marriage will be the best. These people believe that no amount of money can give joy in marriage but care and intimacy of the couple will bind them together forever
Some other category of people have also seen from their own perspective that money is the only thing that makes or that can make a marriage stand. These people believe that love without money is meaningless and so cannot last; they conclude that a woman's forbearance will end one day if a man cannot provide money in the house to cater for all his family needs, as most women are not ready to suffer with a man anymore. Many women nowadays don't even want to suffer with men again because they believe that men will come up with different demeanours when money comes, part of which include: not coming to the house to sleep again, seeing another younger woman, not having time for their wives and children like before and so on.
But the truth, which is far above the fact is that love and money cannot keep a marriage or make a marriage stand. They are not the main reason behind the solidity of a marriage and being together of a man and a woman as husband and wife forever but just part of the things needed in marriages. Love and money are just necessary but not compulsory, the reason is that, if maturity is available in a marriage, with time, love will develop and surely money will come, with God on the side of the husband and the wife. God can bless you with money in marriage but He does not bless with maturity. That is why you can pray for financial breakthrough after following the law of giving but you can not pray to God to give you maturity. The two (I.e money and love) can be present in a marriage and never stop a marriage from being broken. What keeps a marriage and make it stand is MATURITY.
Maturity is the state of being mentally and emotionally well-developed, and therefore responsible: It takes maturity to be a leader, and only a leader can maintain a home. Maturity may not necessarily be justified by age but rather by experience. It is when maturity is missing in a marriage that the husband or the wife will be acting like a boss all the time in the marriage, making commands against the will of his wife or husband. If the wife is mature, she can end up changing the man and vice versa.
We all need to be mature in our marriages, until then most marriages will still be crumbling within a very short time of entering into them.
