The subject of male a female is a hot topic right now in the press.  A biblical perspective of this topic is fitting for such a time as this.  God invented marriage because He wanted one man and one woman to live together in one lifetime with Him right in their midst reflecting His glory through them.

God created us male and female, both in His image.  The same, yet also different spiritually, physically, mentally, and emotionally.  We have fallen from this ideal, but the problem is not with God’s design.  The problem is in the deception of the heart and mind of so many.  There are a lot of marriages that are not extracting the joy of what God designed for them.  To do this and have fulfilment in marriages, it requires getting back to our created purpose.

The distortion of male and female has been going on for some time.  There’s a current celebration of the same perversion that brought the destruction of Noah’s world and Sodom and Gomorrah.  This physical perversion started with spiritual perversion.  In this study, Teryl Hebert discusses the progression of perversion found in Romans 1:18-32 that has darkened many hearts and caused them to be given over to their sinful desires and shameful lusts.

Teryl also discusses the route to true spiritual intimacy available to husband and wife as their hearts are completely exposed to one another.  There’s a healthy communication to be found as we exchange hearts, study each other, enjoy an undefiled marriage bed, and experience the power of unhindered prayer.

For marriages that need repair, repair can start so easily.  We need to lay our heart out to God, repent, go to the cross, weep our way to humility, begin talking to our spouse, submit to God and to one another.  We need to pray the Lord will recreate us in Christ Jesus and then recreate our marriages to God’s original intent.  God will meet us there.
