Can the Bible help me in my marriage? Yes. Yes. Yes.
The Bible has a lot to say about marriage and how to stay connected to your spouse. If you read it and apply the principles it will help you to develop a stronger marriage. The first marriage was Adam to Eve and there are many truths outlined in Genesis chapters 1 - 3 that can help us.
Here are some principles outlined in the Scriptures;
1) In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth - married people need to start their relationship realizing that God created the heavens and the earth. He developed the concept of marriage for man to participate in. As a married man this concept helps me to realize that I was not created without some help.
2) God made man (Adam) in his own image - On the six day, after creating all the animals God made man. He gave man a soul and created him in His own image and likeness. I take this to mean that I am not just some piece of junk which happened to wake up on earth by accident but I am the result of an intentional thought.
3) God showed Adam all of creation and showed him that there was nothing created quite like him - Adam's job was to rule the planet. God brought every animal before him so that he could name the animals. This exercise showed Adam that even though other animals had male and female companions, there was none suitable for him. When I look at my wife I realize that she is more suitable for me at this time in my life than any other woman.
4) God fashioned (made) woman by hand - Women were made especially by God to be pleasing to men. This does not mean that a woman's only function is to please a man; what it does mean is that women are designed to be physically and emotionally attractive to men.
6) Adam recognized his good thing - A man who truly finds a good woman will know it. She is the greatest reward for all of his earthly problems. A good woman is not only hard to find but brings her husband value beyond measure. That has been my case.
God wants men and women who desire to be married to be happy with each other and for their union.
