In marital journey of life through faith with God is never a waste of time but a moment of growing and understanding the dimensions of God. The more your journey through faith with God, the more filled and experiencial you become in the totality of his dealings to man, most especially to those that wait upon him without compromising their faith during marital whirlwind.
More so, at this stage if you are not deepened in Faith through Christ, you will eventually be molested by fear and worries, which could open doors for shattered faith.
The word, MARRIAGE .
The word of God made it simple and clear that, "marriage is beautiful" and the word of God further stressed that, "whoso findeth wife, findeth a good thing and obtaineth favour of the Lord, Proverbs 18:22". This implies that, when you find a good wife, there's always a favour that comes with it from God. The same thing applies to buying a new android phone that comes with its carton, plus earphone and charger.

HOW GOD VIEWS MARRIAGE
God sees marriage as a union between a man and a woman, a covenant or holy matrimony. Also, Marriage was institutionalised by God, the one who created the first man and woman in the garden of Eden not just for their presence but to achieve his plan for marriage.
To God, marriage is an institution, another school of thought on its own. Where you learn in different departments that would make you grow and give you the marital key to unlock many marital departments with blessings and favour attached.
In a spit sense of it, "marriage is sacred" that is the more reason the foundation of any marriage that wants to survive through the thick and thin of marital journey must be built on God. Built on God, I mean, through God the Father, the Son and the Holy spirit.
The waiting room in MARRIAGE
The waiting room is a special department in the school of marriage designated to some special couples. This might be a reason known to God to keep them growing and learning and unfolding more of God's revelation for his plan for them.
Not all waiting room is orchestrated by God. Some are on waiting room because they have failed to align with God's plan for their life, meaning their disobedient and impatience (permissive will) has landed them in the situation they are, and to them, it seems God isn't giving a listening ears to their troubling heart, but because they are totally not aligning with his plans for their life.
In some cases, GRACE may come knocking their doors for another chance because somebody stands with a sobbing heart to interceed on their behalf, and God cannot say No to that intercessor because his voice and place is relevant in the kingdom.
In the waiting room of marriage there are so many to unlock so that couple will grow in faith, and as well as a blessing to many couple around them. To this, it simply means that, as a couple who had journey through whirlwind of marriage and came out of it strong, could be a source of courage and inspiration to those couples undergoing similar situation in their marital life.
Sometimes, God may decide to build and deepen your faith with him through waiting room of marriage so that you can be blessing and source of light to marriages that are going through darkest moment of their life. A builder of wounded homes!
Waiting not BARREN
To patiently wait upon the Lord most times can be so difficult if you misplace your dealings with God through Faith in his word that gives hope and prayer the key that shut evil and negative doors, you will definitely see no need to exercise patient during the waiting room section.
That means during this period, if your faith is shattered by fear, worries and uncertainty, the thought of BARRENESS might set in, and this negative and destructive thought that you are barren might get hold on you, creep in, build an empire and stay till it destroyed you beyond repairs.
The waiting room of God is never because you are BARREN, but because it's God's own plan who is more interested in you than you could ever imagined.
In this department of marital Waiting room in the school of MARRIAGE, couple must be prayerful, daily meditation on God's word and claim it's promises concerning you, sincere shared faith and love that comes like a peace that calms stormy sea of life.
The waiting room is never to see as a staffé of barreness, but a way of deepened oneself with Faith that stand firm in the test of time.
