And God ordained marriage

Genesis 2:22-24
22 Then the rib which the LORD God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to 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 a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.

My wife and I recently attended my Nephew's wedding in Tucson Arizona and it got me thinking about the verses in the Bible about marriage. God's Word to us is so wonderful. He ordained marriage and made it for our companionship, pleasure, and as a type of analogy for what it will be like to be joined with God in heaven for eternity.

May we not be trapped by satan's perversion of marriage by not seeing the importance of the wedding vows. May we repent as a nation and treat Marriage with the reverence it deserves. May all wedded couples treat their spouse as themselves, doing everything they can to honor their spouse and their marriage and everything they can to strengthen their marriage and make it the blessing our Lord Jesus Christ has designed it to be.

Jesus, please forgive all my sins and be my Lord. Amen.
