Marriage Is Honorable

Marriage Is Honorable

Introduction:

Marriage is a sacred institution because it came from God Himself. As Hebrews 13:4 proclaims, “Marriage is honorable among all- - -” Even Jesus performed His first miracle at a wedding ceremony. We can learn much by looking at the very first wedded couple. (Genesis 2:18-24)

Text: Genesis 2:18-24

Body:

The Beginning of Marriage

· (Verse 18) Adam’s solitude was “not good.” It wasn’t that Adam’s creation wasn’t perfect; it just wasn’t complete. God created Adam with need for companionship. Marriage was to fill that need. She would be “complimentary” to him.

· (Verses 19-20) By naming each animal, Adam realized none of them was a suitable mate. None of them was made in the image of God.

· (Verses 21-22) God created a helper, “a corresponding one,” and used raw material from Adam to do so. This one would be comparable, but not identical! God knew children would need both a man and a woman for parents, not two men or two women. (Leviticus 20:13, Leviticus 18:22-25, I Corinthians 6:9-10)

· (Verse 23) Adam expressed his delight at God’s latest creation. She was like Adam, only different. God had crafted her as the perfect complement to Adam. She was a precious gift from God. (Proverbs 31:10-12,28-31)

· (Verse 24) The establishment of marriage is a coming together physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. (Matthew 19:4-6

II. The Blessings of Marriage

· (Verse 18) God wants your spouse to be your best friend. This makes for a happy and healthy marriage.

· Someone who is a helper with you who will work alongside.

· Someone who completes you, makes you whole. Men and women are different! They think differently [wired differently], are different emotionally, and women use more words.

· (Verse 24) Commitment is the bond between husband and wife. It is to be stronger than parent and child or brother and sister, etc. Your spouse deserves your greatest human loyalty.

Conclusion:

Read Proverbs 18:22. “He who finds a wife finds a good thing, And obtains favor from the Lord.” NKJV
