The Best Bible Verses for Helping Marriages

best Bible verses for helping marriages it's right in the beginning it's in Genesis with the creation of Adam Genesis 2:8 it says it is not good for the Adam to be alone and the reason I don't translate it as it's not good for the man to be alone is because Adam wasn't a man he later was separated into man and woman but initially the original Adam Adama means the Earth So Adam means the one who is made from the Earth was both male and female like it says even earlier in Genesis 1: 27 that God created Adam as male and female the first human being was male and female together and then God said it's not good for this Adam to be alone so what did he do he separated the masculinity and the femininity from each other into two discrete entities that then reunited with each other not United reunited with each other in marriage why is that so important for so many reasons first of all it's to understand that a marriage is reuniting with your other half in the truest sense of becoming complete and whole again you cannot resent your spouse as somebody who's intruding in your life your spouse is you it's just an extension of yourself but on an even deeper level what did God do he implanted his story into us he was absolute Oneness and then he divided himself so to speak into the Creator and creation creation is not distinct or apart from God there's only one there's true Oneness so it's all God really there's nothing but him there's nothing but God but you have the Creator and the creation aspect and they have to reunite and realign with each other and reveal the underlying Oneness well he did that to us and he created marriage as the way where we experience our own version of God's story and that's why the holiest most Godly thing that could possibly happen is to find ourselves in our spouse
