We may all know, and agree, that God created marriage. "And the Lord God
said, 'It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper
comparable to him.' And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and
he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place. Then
the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He
brought her to the man. 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.'
Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and
they shall become one flesh. (Genesis 2:18, 21-24)
We also know and agree that men and women are very different. Men long for
respect, and women for love (Ephesians 5:25-33).
But we may not understand that men and women are different by design - by
God's design.
That's right. God made your spouse so very different from you for your good -
for your refinement both as a spouse and as a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ!
