4 Ways to Spiritually Protect your Marriage

No one enters a marriage expecting it to suddenly end, however, all couples will go through trying times at some point in their union. There are many steps to building a perfect wedding, but what about protecting it after the big day? 

Couples need to grow and connect spiritually to be able to stay together. Keeping the faith can sometimes be difficult, and there will be temptations along the way. 

Some people believe that you can protect against any external problems by using simple objects. These include certain types of jewelry, sage, candles, and other symbols. 

Belief is a powerful tool, and when coupled with other weapons it could help to provide a strong type of protection over your marriage. 

Why use items for protecting a marriage?

Superstitions, traditions, legends, and stories, have all been passed down the generations. Different cultures have their own beliefs in what can protect and ward off evil. 

Thailand has a history of protective tattoos that are made by highly trained monks. These are believed to provide good luck, success, and protection. The same country also reveres Buddha, and it is common to see people with amulets depicting him. Other amulets there are believed to even be able to divert bullets in the battle and are worn by soldiers and the police. 

Jewelry, different scents, crystals, metals, and even candles, are believed to have other properties that cannot be seen. For centuries these items have been used to give people protection, much like a St Christopher necklace is supposed to do for a traveler. 

If you believe in some of these methods, wouldn’t you be willing to try them to protect your sacred marriage? 

Are there symbols of protection that could help?

One symbol that has been believed to help with protection is the evil eye. These are most prominent in West Asia, Greece, and the Mediterranean, but can be found everywhere. 

Famous individuals such as Meghan Markle, are known to wear evil eyes for protection. They date back to around the 6th century, and can be found worn on people, or hanging in windows or doors. 

The idea of the evil eye is for spiritual protection. Although the name implies that these symbols are somehow the cause of evil, they are actually there to ward it off.

Anyone who the eye is directed at will suffer from bad luck, however, this generally refers to evil spirits or anyone who envies or resents the wearer.

How can candles help protect your marriage?

The first forms of candles may have originated back around 500 BC, but the earliest surviving ones are from Ancient China circa 200 BC. These candles were made from whale fat and later, beeswax, spermaceti, and paraffin oil were used. 

In more modern times, candles were used for more than just lighting, with birthday cakes being one thing that benefited from these items. Nowadays, candles come in different shapes, colors and scents. Candles can be used for therapy, and in other areas.
