A Tribute to Daddy & Mummy on Their Wedding Anniversary – 15th December

Marriage is not a social experiment, a cultural arrangement, or a human invention. It is God’s idea, governed by divine laws, and designed to reflect heaven on earth. When these laws are understood and obeyed, marriage becomes a source of fulfillment, strength, legacy, and generational blessing. When they are ignored, even sincere love struggles to survive.

In Laws of Marriage, Rev. Olusola A. Areogun teaches that life works by laws, and marriage is no exception. Just as gravity operates whether one understands it or not, marriage laws operate whether they are acknowledged or ignored. Wisdom, therefore, is not passion or intention alone, but alignment with God’s design

9 Laws of Marriage

Marriage Begins With Purpose

The first and foundational law of marriage is the Law of Purpose. Marriage was not primarily ordained for procreation, romance, or sexual fulfillment. According to Scripture, God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him” (Genesis 2:18). Marriage was designed to complete a man and a woman for divine assignment, to help them fulfill God’s purpose on earth.

A marriage that is disconnected from purpose will eventually become an arena of frustration. But when purpose holds a couple together, storms may come, yet the union stands firm. Marriage was designed by God to take man and woman to their peak of performance, fruitfulness, and fulfillment

The Power of the Triangle

Another powerful principle is the Law of the Triangle. God never designed marriage to function as a straight line between husband and wife alone, but as a triangle—with God at the apex. As each spouse draws closer to God individually, they inevitably draw closer to each other.

Scripture declares, “Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it” (Psalm 127:1). Intimacy, trust, stability, and longevity in marriage are sustained not merely by affection, but by shared reverence for God. When God governs the home, peace governs the relationship

Covenant Before Family

Marriage precedes family; children do not hold a marriage together—covenant does. This is the Law of Precedence. A home is secured not by wealth, children, or external protection, but by the vows exchanged before God. When marriage is honoured above every other relationship, including extended family, the family itself becomes secure and stable.

Violations of this law have generational consequences, but obedience to it builds homes that endure and raise godly seeds (Malachi 2:15)

Celebrating a Living Example – Daddy & Mummy

As we reflect on these eternal truths, we joyfully celebrate Daddy and Mummy on their wedding anniversary – 15th December. Their marriage stands as a living testimony of God’s design for marriage: purpose-driven, God-centred, covenant-honouring, and generationally impactful.

Through the years, their union has demonstrated that when marriage is aligned with divine laws, it becomes a channel of grace—not only to the couple, but to children, ministry, and countless lives. Their journey affirms that marriage done God’s way is not only possible, but powerful.

Final Thoughts

Marriage will not succeed by chance; it succeeds by alignment. The laws of marriage are not burdens—they are divine safeguards. When understood and obeyed, they produce homes that mirror heaven, raise godly generations, and glorify God.

As we celebrate Daddy and Mummy this 15th of December, may every marriage be strengthened, every home be healed, and every union find grace to walk in God’s original design.

Happy Wedding Anniversary, Daddy & Mummy. Your marriage speaks. Your legacy lives on.
