What will you compromise for a relationship?

Abraham really wanted a good wife for his son Isaac and as was the custom of the day, it was his responsibility to get him one. As he sent Eliezer to go and get her, he made him promise 2 things: that he would get a wife from among God's people and that he would never make Isaac go back to his people even if the woman refused to leave her homeland.
In principle, Abraham was saying, even though a wife is extremely important, do not compromise the Word of God to get her. He was not willing to violate God's command to get this wife for his son. He had her sought from among God's people, even if it meant traveling far and he had the vow made that his son would never be returned to the very place that God had told him to leave... not even for a wife.

If more people had this resolve concerning relationships and marriage, there would be more successful marriages in our day. Compromise nothing to get a spouse. Don't lie, don't cheat, don't have sex before marriage, don't lose your faith... don't build your relationship and marriage on the foundation of compromise. Mark my words, if you do it will come back to bite you and to hound you. Sometimes, for the rest of your marriage. It's not worth it. We have seen it over and over. It may even be happy for a moment but believe you me, trouble is coming.

You are well able to trust and obey God and get married well. Don't let desperation and pressure drive you to disobey God's Word to get any relationship. Don't put the need for a relationship above God. Do this and see how much God will bless you.

Ge 24:3 ....and I will make you swear by the LORD, the God of heaven and the God of the earth, that you will not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell....8 "And if the woman is not willing to follow you, then you will be released from this oath; only do not take my son back there."

Barikiweni. Have a blessed week.
