Just had another anniversary.
33 years of marriage to an excellent wife.
Personally, it's a time to thank the Lord for favoring me in this way.
But it's also an occasion to point out...
When God gave the Dominion Mandate, He gave it to a couple... so man and woman would face the world to rule and cultivate it together.
Recognizing this would solve a lot of marriage problems.
Today -- especially in the West -- a person enters marriage expecting certain satisfaction to come from their spouse... and then becomes dissatisfied when those expectations aren't met.
But from the beginning, God didn't design a married couple to find their satisfaction from one another as much as in Him... as they serve Him together.
And when a couple has an outward vision to manage their relationship in such a way that they harmonize their gifts to build God's kingdom, things change.
Life together becomes a fulfilling adventure... and something He blesses with plenty of enjoyment.
