7 PRINCIPLES OF MARRIAGE & THE FAMILY IN GENESIS

#1Marriage Is a Divine Institution Given by God as a Part of the Created Order.

Genesis 1:26–27 NKJV
26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” 27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.
Genesis 2:18 NKJV
18 And the Lord God said, “It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him.”
Genesis 2:21–22 NKJV
21 And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place. 22 Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man.

#2Marriage Is the Union of a Man and a Woman to Become One Flesh.

Genesis 2:22–23 NKJV
22 Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man. 23 And Adam said: “This is now bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man.”
GEN 2.
Genesis 2:24 NKJV
24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.

#3The Man and Woman Have Different Functions in the Marriage Relationship.

They are both very important parts to convey the full harmony of the song. Although the melody is often more prominent than the accompaniment, without the accompaniment and background harmonies the melody has no support or fullness. It does not sound as rich and beautiful without this proper balance. Likewise, in comparison, in a marriage relationship we have two very equally important roles between a husband and a wife, but each has a completely different function. Without one or the other we do not have the full array of beauty and design that God created to be displayed in the marriage relationship, which is then a reflection of the Father and Son’s relationship in the Trinity. If the roles are reversed and the woman is showing disrespect in her attitude towards her husband to such an extent that he feels unworthy and unable to lead his family, we have a conflict of balance. It will sound more like a train wreck than sweet music.

#4Sexual Relationships Outside of the Marriage Relationship (One Man-One Woman) Are Not Part of God’s Design and Are Condemned.

POLYGAMY
HOMOSEXUALITY
FORNICATION & ADULTERY

#5Moral Compromise Produces Great Problems in the Future.

#6 Favoritism Causes Irreparable Harm to the Family.

#7God’s Grace Shines Through Broken Family Relationships.
