caused a deep sleep to fall
upon Adam, and he slept:
and he took one of his ribs,
and closed up the flesh
instead thereof;

5. Genesis 2 : 21-23
22 And the rib, which the
LORD God had taken
from man, made he a
woman, and brought her
unto the man.

6. 23 And Adam said, This is
now bone of my bones, and
flesh of my flesh: she shall be
called Woman, because she
was taken out of Man.

7. 24 Therefore shall a man
leave his father and his
mother, and shall cleave unto
his wife: and they shall be
one flesh.

9. Ephesians 5:22-23
Eph 5:22 Wives, submit
yourselves to your own
husbands, as to the Lord.

10. Ephesians 5:22-23

the head of the wife, even
as Christ is the head of the
church; and He is the Savior
of the body.

God is the
ultimate aim of
marriage.

17. The Grace of
God is the
ultimate hope for
marriage.

every marriage: SIN

means to separate fully

Therefore what God has
joined together, let not
man separate.

23. TEACHINGS OF JESUS
ABOUT DIVORCE

24. Matthew 19:7-8
7 They said to him, "Why
then did Moses command
one to give a certificate of
divorce and to send her
away?"

25. 8 He said to them,
"Because of your hardness
of heart Moses allowed
you to divorce your wives,
but from the beginning it
was not so.

26. The Gospel of
God is the
ultimate picture
in marriage.

27. Wives give a picture of
the church to the world.
Husbands give a picture
of Christ to the world.

28. The Roles..
- As Christ relates to the
church, the husband is the
head of his wife
- As the church relates to
Christ, the wife is the
helper for her husband

29. Genesis 2
God designs this picture
Genesis 3
Sin distorts this picture

32. Ephesian 5:22
Wives, submit yourselves
to your own husbands,
as to the Lord.

34. Ephesian 5:33
However, let each one
of you love his wife as
himself, and let the
wife see that she
respects her husband.

37. Ephesian 5:28-29
28 In the same way
husbands should love
their wives as their own
bodies. He who loves his
wife loves himself.

his own flesh, but
nourishes and cherishes it,
just as Christ does the
church,
