The word harmony is a musical term. It is singing together with one voice. Living in harmony with another is singing with one voice. Harmony in marriage comes as a by-product of focusing on your spouse. When selfishness becomes the motivation of married partners, trouble and conflict are the results. It's like two people singing different songs at the same time. It is confusion without any harmony.
Harmony in marriage is a choice. To choose selfish ambition over love for your mate will result in discord. Love is not selfish. "It does not insist on its own way" (1 Corinthians 13:5). The choice is ours. The results are predictable.
Harmony in marriage is being on the same page. Singing in harmony is singing on the same page. So it is in marriage. The more common denominators that you have with your spouse, the stronger the relationship becomes. Your faith is an important denominator in marriage.
Harmony in marriage is in Christ (Ephesians 5:22-33). The love of Christ is the strong bond for Christians in marriage. Husbands are to love their wives as Christ loved the church. Wives are to respect their husbands. Love and respect are the instruments of harmony in any marriage.
Harmony in marriage is the will of God. He ordained marriage from the beginning. Pray together as a couple. Ask God to bless your marriage. Serve God together. God's love is the bond that strengthens and nurtures the relationship. Love "endures all things" (1 Cor. 13:7).
