The history of marriage and the bonds of matrimony is a fascinating subject, and for many people, among whom I number myself, it is a spiritual bond between Christ and the Church; and a Man and a Woman.
It started when God said in Genesis, 2:18: It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him. Gods command was a simple test for man, but it was extremely necessary. God created human beings to be His own companions and friends. He does not desire as companions those who must obey Him, like toy soldiers that are moved about and cannot help themselves. He wants those who love and obey Him of their own freewill. Those who are husbands are not living by the above command and are demanding that their wives Submit to them. Ask yourself this question: How can she?
Many a tear has been shed, because of this lack of understanding. The meaning of married love and romantic love are not the same love. The work of The Creator of The Holy Estate of Matrimony featured in the pages of this Book merits our recognition and love. Who so findeth a wife, findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favor of the Lord. God created marriage and pronounced it good. Strong marriages, those based on Christ, are important and needed in todays society. Jesus first miracle was at a wedding.
