Chapter 29
The Wedding Night
We recommend that newly married couples spend their first night together at a place where
they can have maximum privacy, for example, a hotel.
Why the Wedding Night Is Important
- You do not have another chance to relive your first experiences. You would be
glad you consummated your marriage in a special way. We mark the beginning
of many things in a grand way: outdoorings for babies, inaugurations for new
governments, new buildings, new projects, etc. - You need to have a memorable first time experience to serve as a reference point.
Many challenges lie ahead in the marriage and it is good to have a memorable,
never-to-be-forgotten landmark you can look back to with joy––you will be
encouraged. - It is important to spend money on yourselves to enjoy the fruit of your labour.
After all, you spent so much to make others enjoy themselves at the wedding
reception, lunch or dinner. It is only fair that:
The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits.
2 Timothy 2:6
You must also understand that it is a mark of real blessing when you are able to enjoy what the
Lord has given you. Many people labour to let others enjoy themselves, while they just go on
labouring.
Behold that which I have seen: it is good and comely for one to eat and to drink,
and to enjoy the good of all his labour that he taketh under the sun all the days
of his life, which God giveth him: for it is his portion. Every man also to whom
God hath given riches and wealth, and hath given him power to eat thereof, and
to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labour; this is the gift of God.
Ecclesiastes 5:18-19Rise up and take your portion, for the Lord has blessed you!!!
