For Better; For Worse
If you manipulate any person either by the use of charms, hypnotism or by human knowledge with enticing words, the resultant effect would be evil. Such evil could be likened to a double-edged sword. When a man because of the money he has, charms a woman, if by stroke of ill luck or by natural phenomenon, the money vanishes away then the woman will equally suffer. If a man was attracted by external beauty of make-up with paints, by an ugly and old woman; when he discovered he was deceived; the woman will suffer while the man regrets.

Ecclesiastic 4:11.
Therefore, Sarah laughed within herself, saying after that I have grown old, shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also. – Genesis 18:12.
Here Sarah talked of the pleasure that result from sexual intercourse and the joy that is experienced in taking care of one’s offspring. She talked of the joy of being able to reproduce young ones. This kind of joy is unimaginable and unspeakable.
But she who lives in pleasure is dead while she lives – 1Timothy 5:6.

When a marriage is fruitful, it becomes a three-fold cord that will be hard to disengage. If the couples truly have the fear of God in their hearts they would love the children or the fruits of their union. This love will always cause them to want to remain together and by all means fight against any act of separations or divorcement. Some marriages may not be biologically fruitful, because God wants it so. It may be that He wants the couples to be militants for His kingdom. With few or no children the couples would have enough times for prayers and evangelism. Therefore; when a husband and a wife join hands together in agreement with the Holy Spirit, to pray, no demon can withstand them and no godly venture will fail
