The Biblical design of gender is, that before sexual activity begins, a man will make a volitional decision to marry a woman and propose marriage to her, followed by the acceptance of the man’s proposal of marriage by the woman.

Jesus Christ rose from the dead, physically, on that first Easter Sunday morning, to let us know, through the testimony of the disciples and the ministry of the Holy Spirit, that we are preparing for another life in heaven after this life on earth. Our dominion will not end on earth if we conform ourselves to the Plan of the Lord Jesus Christ and use our earthly experiences to learn the principles that the Lord teaches us in His Word.

We are preparing for another life in heaven after this life on earth, and that our dominion will not end on Planet Earth, but will carry on to our eternal life if we conform ourselves to the Plan of the Lord Jesus Christ and use our earthly experiences to learn the principles that the Lord teaches us in His Word. But if we don’t learn to love here, we can forget about dominion over there.

The Holy Spirit is our Helper. But He does not make our decisions for us. Our conduct is still our own decision. With the help of the Holy Spirit, we have to deny the call of our members, of our flesh, and even of those that would tempt us, and decide to do that which is right rather than wrong.

We can only pass God’s test by implementing wisdom in our lives, disciplining our desires to listen to the rebukes of life, fear God, and keep His commandments. We have to modify our propensity to act on our desires and rather comply with God’s commands. When we do so, we become wise.

A man and his wife are co-heirs of grace, because once we receive the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, we cannot hold it in a vacuum. And marriage is the laboratory in which the Lord Jesus Christ commands us to display this love.

From a spiritual perspective, one of the most important choices that anyone can make, after accepting Jesus Christ Savior, is that of a Christian spouse. Marriage is the most important and most intimate relationship that we can have, because it is the relationship, above all others, in which we can practice Jesus’ command to love.

The devil is hostile to husband and wife becoming one. Since marriage is the basic building block of God’s program, when we allow Satan to attack our marriages, we are letting him attack God’s program at its’ very root.
