The Law of Possession

Marriage is a complete union in which all things previously owned and managed individually are now owned and managed jointly. Anything in marriage that is not willingly submitted to mutual ownership and control will lead to division and problems.

There are many couples who are divorced today simply because they did not observe this law of possession. They refused to surrender their money, time, family, children, careers, sports, education, future plans, or another aspect of their lives, causing damage to the trust and intimacy of their relationship.

Marriage is designed by God to be a place of deep intimacy and "oneness." For this to be possible, we must be completely surrendered to our mates and not hold anything back. The total sharing of our lives brings intimacy and fulfillment in marriage.
