Before God established His “set apart people” in the Old Testament, and before He used Pentecost to birth His church, He created and designed marriage. Marriage was established by God in Genesis Ch 2, the very first book of the Bible. And we are excited to share about God’s divine design for marriage on today’s episode of Abiding Marriage.

Episode/Show Notes:
Quote from Hans Molegraaf of Marriage Revolution: The problem with Adam’s aloneness was not that he lacked something he could only get from Eve, but rather his aloneness prevented him from doing something that is at the core of God’s very image: Sacrificially loving someone. It wasn’t good for Adam to be alone because without Eve he didn’t have anyone to sacrificially love! We don’t love our spouse because they are empty and need love, but because love is the way in which we imitate Christ and bring Glory to God. And we love because God first loved us.
