The model for the right marital relationship

 

 

We are living in a time when it is difficult to find a model for a healthy couple and family.  That is why so many young people have a negative view of marriage.  But the fundamental reason for this negative view of marriage is the curse caused by the sin of Adam and Eve, the first couple of mankind in Genesis.  Adam and Eve, who supposed to be the couple to be exemplary, caused the destruction of their families by breaking God's word and eating the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil.  But we Christians should know that we are no longer under that curse anymore.  We are the ones who look and follow the model of Jesus, who is the second or last Adam, and the church, who is His bride.  This is the blessing we have received who are living in the New Covenant.  The Bible Ephesians 5:22-33 describes the beautiful marriage that God intended through Adam and Eve before they sinned.  This is the right model of marital relation that we must look to and pursue.
