    1.    In the Bible
1)    In Genesis – in the Garden – God did a marriage
2)    In the Gospel – in the world – God was in the marriage
3)    In the Revelation – in the Heaven – God will have marriage

God is interested in everyone of our marriage. God establishing His creation on earth, He looked at completion of His creation each day in five said good, on day six he said after He made man in His image He said very good but again He said it is not good that man should alone.

           2.    For Adam:
1)    A place to live in (Genesis 2:15)
2)    A job to do (Genesis 2:15)
3)    A wife to be with (Genesis 2:22)
The Application for parents and unmarried ones is that if you in the will of God and if you recognize the need of Jesus in your life. Adam did not go after a woman but a woman was brought him by almighty God, a suitable and appropriate one.
1.  God will give you a House
2.  God will give you a Job
3.  God will give you a wife who will fit you.

     II.        Board of Directors in the marriage institution
God, Husband and wife
Three fold cords cannot be broken

2)    Philosopher Shakespeare
If you wife are a good wife, your husband will be better, if not he will become a philosopher. If both of you have Jesus you will be the best. “Husbands Love your wife, Wife submit yourself to your husband” (Eph 5:22 & 25) “A happy man marries the girl he loves; a happier man loves the girl he marries.” A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person.

1.    Curse on Interference
Adam and Eve sinned against themselves; God cursed the Satan and the ground (Genesis 3:14b &17b) but Cain sinned against his brother God cursed Cain (Genesis 4:11). Adam and Eve sin did not hurt others but Cain.
Here is a danger signal from God for in-laws and out-law, keep yourselves from others marriage institution because your not appointed in the Board of Directors in it.
Illustration:
     1)     Milk + Water + fire (if case of failure the fire extinguisher (in-law) required but still not out-laws.
“A good marriage would be between a blind wife and a deaf husband.”

III.        The Bible principles for marriage institution

A family prays to gather stat together.
What God united let not man separate it.
Seek first the kingdom of God and He shall fulfill all your needs.
Be prepared to meet your king.
Walk in the way of the Lord and bring you children in the fear of God.

May the LORD bless you
