Marriage God’s Way

READ: Genesis 2:18-25

A man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. —Genesis 2:24

The movie The Princess Bride has a wedding scene in which the marrying minister says, “Marriage . . . is what brings us together today.”

Sometimes it is good to remind ourselves of the grand plan for marriage spelled out in Scripture.

Marriage creates one new family out of two: Adam said, “ ‘This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh . . . .’ Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife” (Gen. 2:23-24).

It provides a pure outlet for a divinely designed desire: “Because of sexual immorality, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband” (1 Cor. 7:2).

It forms a mutually helpful team: “The heart of her husband safely trusts her . . . . She does him good and not evil all the days of her life” (Prov. 31:11-12).

Marriage God’s way brings a man and a woman together to honor Him and help society. Celebrate marriage for the ways it brings us together in God’s name.

If men and women yield to God
And of His love partake,
The marriage bond that joins two hearts
No power on earth can break. —D. De Haan

God created husband and wife to complement each other.

Bible in One Year: Joshua 4-6; Luke 1:1-20

A family with a father and mother is basic and vital to producing children, that are taught by the parents the ways and love of the LORD. We are today reaping the result of the perversion of God’s instructions. Getting ever farther and farther from His teaching.

Father God help us in our day, in Jesus name, amen.
