Beauty of Marriage

Marriage is honorable and bed is undefiled. Without a woman, a man is incomplete, and there is no home. Though Adam had all that a man needs to have, he lacked a help mate. Out of his mercy, wisdom and grace, God gave him a help mate fit for him. When God made this world, He completed His creation with a man - but He did not create him to be alone (Gen 2:18). God created man to exist as a family.

Every woman who is given to man from the grace of God becomes a reliable help meet to her husband. Therefore, there is a need for being careful and prayerful enough when looking for a wife, and in taking care of our families.

Research has shown that it is only the families that live in love and happiness that make a lovely and happy church. We cannot speak of exercising love among the church members if there is no peace and love in their homes. Love, peace and happiness must begin in the home. The Biblical type of family is the most fundamental unit in a society. Without strong, godly families, a nation is doomed (Psalm 9:17)

The foundation of each family has a greater effect to its future life and progress. Applying the right and godly principles of marriage and family brings joy to the fullest in marriage.
