AOV #8

OF MARRIAGE & FAMILY
By Evelyn Thamu

Marriage and family have always been close to my heart, even in seasons where life hasn’t looked the way I once imagined. Being separated has not changed my belief in the beauty and purpose of marriage, it has only deepened my understanding of God’s design and desire for it.

In Malachi 2, we are reminded that God seeks **godly offspring**. This means that marriage is not just about companionship or personal happiness, but about building a foundation where faith, character, and righteousness are nurtured in the next generation. A godly family becomes a place where children learn to love God, honor His word, and walk in truth.

God calls us to walk in holiness and righteousness, not only as individuals but within our families. Holiness is reflected in how we speak, how we forgive, how we remain faithful, and how we choose to honor God even when it is difficult. Righteousness is lived out daily through obedience, humility, and love. Even when marriages face challenges or seasons of separation, God still desires that we align our lives with His will and continue growing spiritually.

Family, in its truest form, is not just about structure, it is about reflecting God’s heart. It is about extending grace, choosing love, and seeking God in every season. Whether together or apart, we are still called to live in a way that honors Him and sets an example for those around us.

I hold onto the hope that God restores, heals, and completes what concerns us. His plans are always greater than our circumstances.

1 Peter 5:10 – "And the God of all grace... will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast."
