Text: Genesis 3

 

We can be discouraged by God’s blueprint for marriage because as simple as God’s blueprint might seem–leave, cleave, and unite–even our best efforts fall short.  This is because we live in a world broken by the Fall.  When Adam and even disobeyed the command of the Lord their relationships with God, one another, and creation were broken by their sin.  Their disobedience had both immediate and lasting consequences but despite their sin we find God’s grace as he provides for blessing in the curses.
