Scripture: Genesis 2:18-25
Key Takeaways:
+ Marriage is a good gift from God.
+ Marriage is designed for companionship and partnership
“…not made out of his head to rule over him, nor out of his feet to be trampled upon by him, but out of his side to be equal with him, under his arm to be protected, and near his heart to be beloved.” – Matthew Henry
+ Marriage is designed for permanence and exclusivity
“So, in the one-flesh union of marriage, all the boundaries between a man and a woman fall away, and the married couple comes together completely, as long as they both shall live. In real terms, two selfish me’s start learning to think like one unified us, building a new life together with one total everything: one story, one purpose, one reputation, one bed, one suffering, one budget, one family, and so forth. Marriage removes all barriers and replaces them with a comprehensive oneness. It is this all-encompassing unity that sets marriage apart as marriage, more profound than even the most intense friendship. – Ray Ortlund, Marriage and the Mystery of the Gospel.
+ Marriage is designed for vulnerability and security
+ Marriage is meaningful but not ultimate
Ephesians 5:31-33
