CHRISTIAN couples have been called upon to examine themselves to know if they are growing. Mrs. Gyarta Pofi, who spoke on “Growing Together in Christian Marriage – Talk 2” at the just concluded retreat, said after reeling out the indexes to show couples that are growing and those that are not growing, that self-assessment would help to check oneself under God.
“If you do, you have begun well. And when you are growing, you are becoming like Jesus, which is the reason for your salvation,” she said, adding that “growing in grace is synonymous with becoming more like Jesus, and not growing is synonymous with calamity.”
Citing Genesis 1:27, she enjoined couples to know their spouses and make every effort to make their spouses happy as a way of enhancing their growth in Christian marriage. “Unity is not uniformity. Your wife is not a man, and your husband is not a woman. Don’t try to change it, rather create room to understand each other,” Mrs. Pofi advised.
Mrs. Pofi, emphasized while stressing that obedience to the word of God makes couples wise because winds, rains, storms and floods of life are inevitable but the results of these will always determine whether the couples are wise or foolish.
The theme of this year’s retreat is “Growing Together in Christian Marriage.
