Genesis 2:24-2:25

Marriage Blueprint - Part 2

God's blueprint for marriage begins with His words, "It is not good for man to be alone," and statistics back this up. The wife helps teach the man how to love and the husband dies to self, as Christ for the church. This is the process of becoming one flesh, so marriage, as God intended, becomes a picture of sacrifice to the world. Pastor Lloyd discusses the difference between guilt and shame and the impact of a relationship with Jesus. While there are few specific instructions on marriage in the Bible, it has much to say for the individual. It is through the transformed individual that God builds a strong marriage relationship.

  1. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
  2. And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
