Happiness Is: Commanded To You and Through You

Book Cover & Preview Text
The world says that a husband cannot make a wife happy or that he does not have an obligation to make her happy. As the cliché states in the introduction: `If you are not whole within yourself, another person cannot make you happy.' Now hear the Word of God: “When a man hath taken a new wife, he shall not go out to war, neither shall he be charged with any business, but he shall be free at home one year, and shall cheer up his wife which he hath taken.” (Deuteronomy 24: 5) God has commanded! Now let us rightly divide His Word: (a) `When a man hath taken a new wife' -he is a covenant partner with vows to uphold. He is not alone anymore, but he is joined inseparably to his help meet as one -she is `bone of his bone'; (b) `he shall not go out to war' -some versions specify Army, either way it would mean not participating in military duty because of the threat of premature death and widowhood; (c) `neither shall he be charged with any business' -God is not saying that a man [husband] does not work. In Old Testament days, farming or herding animals was common place for provision. But in this time and day, any legitimate endeavor that produces resources to provide for his family is expected. Yet, He is stressing to refrain from taking on any project in excess of normal that will keep the husband away from home too long or take any attention from his wife; (d) `but he shall be free at home one year' -free means available and willing to practice living as one flesh, that is prioritizing his life with his wife second only to God to develop a habitation in his spirit and his soul and his body. It is often said that anything repeated daily for twenty-one days becomes a way of living or habit. Therefore, just imagine what can be accomplished in an entire year. I believe the result should be forever. (e) `and shall cheer up his wife which he hath taken.' -God encourages his focus on making her happy; praying for her and with her; putting her needs before his own and taking care of her as HE would to strengthen the marriage foundation. Is this a plan or is this a plan? God is so-o Awesome!
