God created Marriage to be a place where You experience Heaven on Earth.

Pam and I could have been in that company
Our marriage was put to the test within a few months
I told you last week that in not applying the first principle of marriage it made our marriage go bad…
Then it went from bad to worse.
This principle we are looking at today is the one that saved our marriage and allowed us to go from good to great!!!
Pray…
Genesis 2:24-25 (NASB)
24 For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh.

Leave
Cleave

Joined: dabaq-to cleave, to cling, to adhere, to stick.
Means to be glued to in such a way it cannot be separated.
It is the idea of scrambling eggs…

In Pre-marital counseling with Tim Coop…
This is deep because it goes to the true meaning of unconditional love.
We throw that word out all the time but do we really know what it means?
Are we ready to live that way and love that way?
There are four Greek words for love…
Agape is the highest.
It is the love that Jesus shows to us.
It is the love we are called to show to God and others.
It is the love that we live out when we understand…LIFE!
Agape: unconditional love.
It must be expressed.
It is a choice to love.
Vine's: It is not an impulse from feelings, it does not always run from natural inclinations…it is a deep and constant love.
So this is means that we choose to love no matter what
