In this topic I am dealing with the reason's or purposes of marriage and how to deal with marital problems. God has a reason for creating relationships and it is one of things that brings greater joy and pain into peoples life depending on how we handle the relationship we find ourselves in.
Failed marriages are the core of most of this social problems in our various communities. Why should a marriage between two LOVE BIRDS be experiencing problems if the marriage happened because they were in LOVE? This has been one of the biggest questions asked by people when they see people closer to them experiencing issues and even opting for a divorce. But in this article I will address few of the things we are missing as individuals before we decide to settle down with who ever we want to settle down with.
Today, many question the viability and validity of marriage
and openly wonder if it should continue to be esteemed as the bedrock of
modern social development.
The epidemic and explosive rise of the divorce rate adds further fuel to
the fear, hopelessness, disillusionment, and despair people feel with regard to
marriage. Many are skeptical and question their chances of experiencing a successful marriage.
Marriage was first instituted in the garden of EDEN when God realized it was necessary to extend his kingdom to the ends of of the earth (WORLD). If you want solve a problem you first have to tackle the problem from the source of the problem and then you can deal with the problem. The only way one can experience beautiful marriage is to go back to the source of marriage and that is God. So you cannot experience good marriage if you don't involve God or don't apply bible principles.
GENESIS 1:26-28
26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
" The word MAN is plural and its used in context to refer to both male and female. But mostly refers to the male. When God said let us make MAN in our image he was referring to both male and female. So God was referring to the making of a male and female and in that sense God was establishing the first physical relationship on earth". Now the verse 27 he created HIM male and female (MAN). This means that God created the male MAN but the female MAN was trapped in the male MAN. You can only understand the verse 27 if you read the verse 2:18. REFER TO THE NEXT VERSE.
GENESIS 2:18
18 And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.
"in Genesis 1:26-28 God has created the MAN and in this verse comes back to say it is not good for the MAN to be ALONE. Its surprising to know God had already created them male and female and still saying its not good for MAN to be alone. This goes on to prove that the female MAN was trapped in the male MAN. That is why God said it not God for MAN to be alone. Now lets look at the meaning of ALONE".
Definition of alone for English Language Learners. : without anyone or anything else : not involving or including anyone or anything else : separate from other people or things.
"The last one explains what God wanted to say that it was not good for the male MAN to be ALL-IN-ONE. That is having a female component in him so now God have bring out woman from the man (ADAM) so in the next verse he puts man into a deep sleep and then opens up MAN (male) and then brings out female another version of the male man".
GENESIS 2:22-24
22 And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
"Now who told Adam (male MAN) that Eve (female MAN) was taken out of him and how did he know that its the same flesh and bone if God put him to sleep before the making of Eve (female MAN). Only one thing explains it, Adam was aware of what was inside of him and that was the exact he saw when he woke up. He said you will be called a WOMAN (WOMB-MAN,a man with a womb) because you are a version of myself. The only difference between a male and female is one has a womb the other has no womb".
"Genesis 2:23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man".
Now for this reason a man (male) will leave his parents and be joined with a woman (female) and they shall become one (Genesis 2:24). This is the beginning of marriage and I am about to bring to bear the hidden things that makes a successful marriage.
Marriage is an honorable thing so don't defile it.
