 “Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, which he hath

given thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity for that is thy portion in thy life, and in thy labour which thou takest under the sun” (Eccl.9:9).  (Isiah 12:3)

Joy is very important in marriage and it must be deliberately maintained for a better marriage. Joy is the real marriage stabilizer, without joy; marriage will be a battle field. Most people talk about love, they don't talk about joy, they don't know that, there is nothing called love without joy. You can't love him or her without joy. Joy is the foundation of love; love is the foundation of marriage. Good marriage leads to joy, so joy works in a cycle.

What hurts, infidelity, constant strife, unforgiveness and vengeance do in marriage is to destroy joy.

If joy is dead, love will be on its way to the grave. All couples should be knowledgeable on how to keep joy in their marriages. If you cannot maintain joy in your marriage, you cannot keep your home aglow in love.
