Whose Idea was Marriage, Anyway?

Heartfelt Marriage ·

2017/05/25

When and where did marriage begin? And whose idea was it, anyway? Marriage began in the Garden of Eden when “God put the Man into a deep sleep. As he slept He removed one of his ribs and replaced it with flesh. God used the rib to make Woman…” (Genesis 2:21-22) As soon as Adam’s divine anesthesia wore off, the Father of the bride, God himself presented the Woman to the man. She was made by the hand of God specifically for Adam, and some say God made some very nice improvements! God was the first

Fifty-Fifty Marriage = 100% Failure

Heartfelt Marriage ·

2017/05/01

Too many people mistakenly assume marriage is a “meet in the middle” proposition, an arrangement in which two people fulfill their half of a “bargain,” relying on the other to do his or her part, as well. Sounds logical, doesn’t it? If marriage were a business arrangement, then such a process just might work. But it’s not. Nor would we want it to be.
