Marital Delay or Distress | Spiritual Root Cause Analysis

As we, Alex & Christine Wesigye celebrate our 10th Marriage Anniversary, we would like to share some Biblical Truths on the causes of delayed marriages or Marital Distress and their Remedial mechanisms thereof.

These were identified after a systematic study of the WORD of GOD, The HOLY BIBLE.

✍🏿 Spiritual Root Causes of Marital Issues

Sins and their consequential marital issues.

1️⃣ Mistreating widows and orphans (Exo 22:22)

Marital Issue: Widowed women, death of husbands, Fatherless children (Exo 22:24).

2️⃣ Disobeying God, breaking HIS statutes, Commandments, Not believing in GOD, Not trusting in GOD’s saving Power (Deut 28:14-15; Ps 78:17-20,22,32,56,57)

Marital Issues: 

✅You make arrangements to marry a lady but another man takes her (Deut 28:30). 

✅Stingy & selfish husband/wife (Deut 28:54,56). 

✅No weddings/marriage ceremonies (Ps 78:63).

3️⃣ Rape (of an unmarried girl) (Deut 22:28-29). If a man raped a lady, he was compelled to pay bride price and marry her by force because he had disgraced her, thus no one would marry her. 

4️⃣ Pre-marital Sex (fornication) (Exo 22:16). If a man who committed fornication was compelled to pay her bride price and marry her.

How many have you lain with? 

The purpose of sex is for consummating a marriage (Gen 29:21). if one engages in rape or fornication, he/she consequentially seals a marriage covenant through that sexual transaction. Unless it is dealt with, he/she is liable to face some marital issues. 

The soul tie formed becomes a run-way through which spirit spouses manifest to hinder or cause distress in a marriage.

5️⃣ Adultery (2Sam11:4;12:9; Job 31:9)

Marital Issue: Wife taken by another man (2 Sam 12:11; 16:21,22; Job 31:10)

6️⃣ Murder (even by proxy) 2Sam 11:15,17,24; 12:9; 2Chro 21:4,13

Marital Issues: 

✅Wife given to another man (2 Sam 12:11; 16:21,22). 

✅A great plague on wives (2 Chro 21:14).

7️⃣ Evil marriage covenants (marrying non-believers) (2Chr 21:6)

Marital Issue: Captivity of wives (2Chro 21:17).

8️⃣ Lying/Fear (Gen 12:13; 20:2)

1️⃣6️⃣ You reap what you sow (Gal 6:7; Gen 8:22)

If you broke someone’s heart, you broke someone’s marriage; you stole someone’s spouse, you contributed to someone’s marital delay or marital woes, then you will obviously reap accordingly. And likewise if you promote(d) and support(ed) people to get married or have done good for the success of other marriages, shall reap accordingly.

1️⃣7️⃣ A number of Foundational Anomalies like Dishonoring Parents (Exodus 20:12), Forced/child marriages, Tears of Wives (Mal 2:13-14), Tears of firstborns, Iniquities on the Thrones of Husband-hood & Wife-hood which we deal with in the Marriage Watch Program.

The marital issues👆🏿manifest if you or someone in your family tree has committed the respective causes/sins 👆🏿. (Exo 34:7)

💡What To DO

Deal with the cause not the issue/symptom i.e with the roots not the leaves. 

According to 1John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

1️⃣ Confess the cause (sin or work of the Flesh).

2️⃣ Ask GOD to forgive you the Cause(sin or work of the flesh).

3️⃣ Ask GOD to cleanse you of the Unrighteousness (consequential marital issue, situation).  Ask GOD to remove the situation/Affliction. Ask GOD to cleanse you by the BLOOD of JESUS.

4️⃣ Rebuke the spirit that has been enforcing the situation.

5️⃣ Renounce the cause, sin, works of the flesh and avoid the triggers of that sin.

if symptoms persist, add you may add fasting, offering, Praying in Tongues, Songs of Worship et.c as the HOLY SPIRIT will guide, then re-do steps 1️⃣-5️⃣ 

If symptoms persist;

6️⃣ Do a Bloodline Cleansing in the Courts Of Heaven. This is for dealing with generational Iniquity, Afflictions & Infirmities.

7️⃣ Raise or join a Regular Altar and Abide In the LORD. Involve a prayer partner or an anointed minister of GOD. Set a time for the Altar & keep it, Be disciplined.

Conclusion

Deal with 1 cause/sin at a time, systematically from step 1️⃣ to the end, confess the cause/sin and seek GOD's forgiveness, then Ask GOD to remove the consequential symptoms (Marital issues), Rebuke the enforcing Spirits of the Marital Issues, then Ask the HOLY SPIRIT fill you the gap left by the demonic spirit.  Watchout for the triggers of the Cause/Sin. You need to raise an Altar (Abide in the LORD) so that your answer finds you in the divine placement.
