Big news around our house is that one of our guys got engaged!
Our son has been blessed with a wonderful fiance, and my wife and I both agree... the Lord has found a helper suitable for him (Gen.2:18).
The occasion presents a good opportunity to note: marriage is vital when it comes to fulfilling the dominion mandate.
And not just the 'be fruitful and multiply' part.
But the partnership that a husband and wife are to have in ruling and developing a portion of the world together.
In fact... without marriage the dominion mandate would not be fulfilled.
And it's as a couple focus on this common mission that they become less absorbed with getting their individual needs met... and the marriage itself becomes more fulfilling.
