SEVEN ACTIVE PRINCIPLES FOR A GODLY MARRIAGE BY PASTOR W.F. KUMUYI
1. Love
Ephesians 5:25 KJV
[25] Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
Ephesians 5:28-29 KJV
[28] So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. [29] For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:
The Symbolic Representation

[1] Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.
2. Leave Father and Mother.
Ephesians 5:31 KJV
[31] For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
Psalm 45:10-11 KJV
[10] Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people, and thy father’s house; [11] So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; and worship thou him.
3. Cleave
Ephesians 5:31 KJV
[31] For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.

4. Nourish Each-other
Ephesians 5:29 KJV

[6] If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.
5. Cherish

[29] For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:
