God's Design for Marriage (4 of 4)
Series: Building A Biblical Marriage
Frank Damazio

Introduction: This is the last message in this marriage building series having laid foundations carefully: six marriage building Foundations and the serious marriage challenges, marriage building begins as a single and with moral purity, the destruction of the moral absolute foundation, and the 12 lies about sex before marriage. This message will endeavor to understand God's idea for marriage as seen from the first marriage - the original marriage.

Genesis 2:24-25 Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.

1 Peter 3:7 Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered.

Proverbs 5:18 Let your fountain be blessed, and rejoice with the wife of your youth.

The builder's commitment: I commit myself to a biblical standard as I prepare for marriage and as I build my marriage. I commit to build with proven, biblical tools and I will always continue improving my marriage.
