Greetings:
Gen. 2:24 (NIV) - "For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh."
My wife and I have just started a Sunday Morning Bible Study based on the movie Fireproof. It deals with strengthening your marriage. In preparing for this class, I have been reading authors dealing with the topic of marriage.
This is the foundational verse for God's Plan for marriage. As has been said, marriage is one man and one women for one lifetime. I like the short version of this verse one author spoke of -- leave, cleave and weave. We are to form a permanent bond based upon leaving our individual families, cleaving (or gluing) ourselves to each other, and then weaving our lives and personalities into one entity.
Today, Barna states that divorce is higher in the church than in the secular world. It ought not be so. Find ways to strengthen your marriage today - and help others to strengthen theirs also.
For Kingdom Education,
Doc
