• Blessings God gave blessings to both male and female in equal measures and bestowed upon them blessings or gifts. Both received the full measure of God's love because they were made in God's image. God is love. Behaving in love is how we were built. It is our ultimate task. Genesis 1:26; 1John 4:8; 1Corinthians 13:1-13
• United Love God formed woman out of man, making them a united pair. For this reason, the man and woman will leave their mother and father and become a united couple. God and Jesus, two separate entities, are collectively One. Jesus came so mankind would have full unity with God. Together as a collective One, they exist in the pure unity of love. Genesis 2:22-24; John 17:21-23
• Equally Yoked Being tied to or yoked to Jesus makes the burdens of this life easier to shoulder. In submitting to this connection or yoke of Jesus, you are taught about your Heavenly Father and given true restful peace. In this way, a married couple should not be in bondage to unbelievers, but rather together live in peace with Jesus' guidance. Matthew 11:27-29; 2Corinthians 6:14
• Sexual Desires A man and a woman keep themselves away from sexual sins when they stay in their relationship with each other. Enjoying sex with each other is not sinful. 1Corinthians 7:1-3
Since the beginning, God created a safe union for a husband and wife to be blessed. Together they represent Love, which is the pure expression of God on earth. The unity created by God was to remain sinless. Even the task of working side by side, being equally yoked, reveals the pure nature of God's intent that they be One with Him and Jesus. It is God's desire that the married couple enjoy being a couple.
