God’s Plan for Marriage

1. Unique gift. Ladies, have you ever thought of yourself as a unique gift from God to your husbands? If not you should. Because God created you just for him. God just didn’t want man to be alone but he meant all of man kind. He never wants any of us to be alone, we need fellowship with one another. That is the sole reason why God created women, men need us.

Now the Lord God had formed out of the ground all the wild animals and all the birds in the sky. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds in the sky, and all the wild animals.

But for Adam no suitable helper was found. So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs and then closed up the place with flesh. Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.

The man said,

“This is now bone of my bones

and flesh of my flesh;

she shall be called ‘woman,’

for she was taken out of man.”

The creation of Eve was drastically different than that of the animals. God made man and animals from the ground, but when he created Eve, he made her directly from Adam. Why was Eve the only one in creation to be made differently? These days women want to do everything to keep up with men, but I ask why? Why are we embracing our femininity? We are the only thing in creation that was made differently. Let’s celebrate being different.

2. Reflecting God’s image. Have you ever noticed that the entire bible looks a lot like a marriage?

“Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they broke, although I was a husband to them, said the LORD” Jeremiah 31:32.

God became jealous of us worshiping false gods and being adulterous in our relationship with him. Later, when Jesus comes to earth, we see that Jesus initiates the New Covenant with His disciples, like a marriage proposal. Then when Christ returns in Revelation 19:6-9 do we see the marriage of Christ to the Church.

3. Receiving your spouse. God made us all different and unique. Receiving your spouse doesn’t just mean tolerating his differences but embracing them.

For you created my inmost being;

you knit me together in my mother’s womb.

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;

your works are wonderful,

I know that full well.

Psalm 139:13-14

God made your spouse special, and it’s a choice every day to think of and treat him as the gift from God that he truly is. Remember your spouse is not your enemy, he is your partner.
