2. Marriage is a journey. As set off on
this journey, you need to know what
your destination is. It will not auger
well with the spouses if they set off
on this journey without a vision.

3. IMPORTANCE OF VISION IN MARRIAGE
1. A vision brings clarity in marriage.
It's understanding why God put you
together. It's impossible to know if
you're successful if you don't know
what it is you're trying to
accomplish.

4. 2. A vision brings out the passion in
the marriage.
If you don't know the vision for your
life and marriage, it's hard to get
excited about it. Once you identify a
vision, both of you will pursue it
with enormous energy.

5. 3. A vision gives the zeal to purity in
marriage.
Without vision, couples can fall
astray. They fall into sin. People
without vision are vulnerable to
negative guidance. Rather than living
your life attempting not to fail or
struggling not to do bad things, with a
vision you'll live doing good things.

6. 4. A vision brings unity and synergy
in marriage.
Couples fight because they don't
see eye-to-eye. They have
competing visions—that's what the
word division means. Two people
cannot walk together unless they're
in agreement.

7. It is impossible to succeed in
marriage when a husband and wife
are divided. Rather than both of you
having your own way of looking at
things, a single vision for your
marriage means you both have the
same focus. This is essential.

8. 5. A vision in marriage brings in
victory.
Proverbs 29:18 ; "Where there is no
revelation, people cast off restraint;
but blessed is the one who heeds
wisdom's instruction." Without vision,
we lose direction.
Victory is only possible if we have the
goal in sight.

behind all that you want to achieve

couple must have a vision.
