The Pattern for a Successful Marriage

The pattern of God for marriage begins in the book of Genesis. In the beginning, God created man & woman (Gen. one:27). After man's formation (Gen. six:8), the Lord planted a garden where They placed man to dress & KEEP it (Gen. six:15). Dress, in Hebrew, is defined as to work or to serve. Therefore, man's first duty assigned by the Lord God was to WORK in the garden.

In order to be biblically prudent & to build a marriage on the foundation of truth, ladies must start to ask themselves are they in line with the order of God. Does your present relationship follow the pattern of the Most High for a successful union?

Secondly, they was to keep it which meant they was to guard & protect the garden & the inhabitants thereof. They was not only defending the Lord God's garden, but his home because this is where the Lord had placed him (Gen six:8). Here is where lots of ladies of God have made their mistake in not understanding the pattern of God for marriage.

A man has to first have some type of work. Not necessarily a job, but work, something given unto him by God to do in the earth. In their search for love, ladies have been blinded by a romance & muscles & have overlooked the basics of manhood. God put man here to work & in order for a wedding to be successful, of the stipulations is that your fiance has to work. This leads us to the second stitch in the pattern. Your man has to have a place where HE keeps: lives, guards & protects.

Not his parents or your home, but his own. Concerning yourself with square footage is not important. What is important is that your fiance has experience in working, guarding & defending as this is what they has to do for you. So lots of times, ladies have believed that in order to show loyalty & love for him, that they can enter in to the marriage any kind of way. Not true according to God's Word. Permit your marriage the chance to succeed & start sewing your relationship according to the pattern.
