If you ask a dozen friends those two questions and ask them to write their answers privately how many different answer do you think would receive? Here are some of the responses I've received from both singles and married.
- SEX
- COMPANIONSHIP
- LOVE
- TO PROVIDE A HOME FOR CHILDREN
- SOCIAL ACCEPTANCE
- ECONOMIC ADVANTAGE
- SECURITY
To fully respond to these question, we need to look through the eyes of faith, seeking God's wisdom. And in the Bible, we see a much different picture. Beginning with Genesis, the first book of the bible where we read the creation story, we find that God's idea of marriage is the blending of two lives in the deepest possible way into a new unit that will both satisfy the individuals involved and served the purpose of God in the highest possible manner.
The supreme purpose of marriage is the union of two individuals at the deepest possible level and in all areas, which in turn brings the greatest possible sense of fulfillment to the couple and at the same time serves best the purposes of God for their lives.
it is a part of our life....
