“There is a connection between married life and Jesus and His Church.”
Marriage is God's idea, not the world's. We should not let the world teach or dictate to us the standards of married life, instead we should obey the rules as set by God Himself. It is untrue that unbeliever marriages do not work, as there are numerous instances of successful and lasting marriages between unbeliever couples, who follow and work hard at maintaining the rules laid down by God in the institution He created before the fall of Adam. [Genesis 2:20-25] tells us how God formed Woman out of Man. This typifies the piercing of Jesus' side that broke His rib, on the cross. When Jesus was pierced and blood and water flowed out of his side, that was the Church. At the beginning of the Church [Acts 2: 41-42] the believers in Jesus Christ continued STEADFASTLY in doing four things:
Apostles' doctrine (Diligent Observance) Fellowship (Friendship) Breaking of bread (Covenant) Prayers (Supplication and Intercession); these items will be treated in details.
Being steadfast is the act of persistence, repeating things diligently, revisiting issues, and going over the contents in your marriage again and again. Continuing steadfastly in your marriage or any relationship requires working hard at the relationship.
