Genesis 2
18 . "It is not good for a man to be alone," said the LORD God; "I will make a helper for him." (Genesis 2:18)
19 . The Lord God formed out of the ground every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to Adam to see what they would name them.
20 . And Adam gave names to all the livestock, and to the birds of the air, and to all the beasts of the field, because Adam had no helper (Genesis 2:20).
21 . The Lord God put Adam into a deep sleep, and as he fell asleep he took one of his ribs and filled it with flesh instead (Genesis 2:21)
22 . The LORD God made a woman from the rib which he had taken from Adam, and brought her to Adam (Genesis 2:22).
23 . And Adam said, "This is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called woman, because it is taken from man." (Genesis 2:23)
24 . For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall be united to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh (Genesis 2:24).
25 . Adam and his wife were both naked, and they were not ashamed (Genesis 2:25).
1 Peter 3
1. In the same way, wives, submit to your husbands, so that if any one disobeys the way, he may be saved, not by words but by the deeds of his wives.
2. I see your fearful deeds
3. Your headdress should not be adorned with hair, wearing gold, or wearing beautiful clothes.
4. But let the hidden person be incorruptible of a meek and stable spirit, for this is precious in the sight of God.
5. In the same way the holy women who had hoped in God adorned themselves in submission to their husbands.
6. Just as Sarah obeyed Abraham by calling him lord, so you became his daughters by doing good and not being alarmed by any fear.
7. Husbands, in the same way, cohabit with your wives according to knowledge, knowing that he is a weaker vessel and one who will also inherit the grace of life, and honor it, so that your prayers may not be blocked.

Title: The Way of Couples (夫婦)
Text: Genesis 2:18-25, 1 Peter 3:1-7.
John Gray, author of Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus ‘According to recent statistics in the United States, two out of four married couples divorce, and the rate is steadily increasing. (In California, three out of four couples divorce). 50% of elementary school children in the United States come from divorced parents, and about 30% of babies are born out of wedlock. Domestic violence and crime, drug addiction, and the use of tranquilizers are also on the rise. Needless to say, the root cause lies in the breakdown of the family’ (a miraculous communication method for those who dream of eternal love). How many degrees would it be in terms of an earthquake when you said “family breakdown”? I hope it's not true, but the symptoms don't seem to be exclusive to the other side of the Pacific.
The creation of the heavens and the earth (Genesis 1:1-2:3) was ‘good in the sight of the Lord’ (Genesis 1:4,10,12,18,21,25,31).
ends with . However, the creation of the family, the highlight of human creation, begins with “It is not good for a man to be alone” (Genesis 2:18). And the creation of that family ends with the oneness of Adam and Eve, who were created to resemble God's image (Genesis 2:23-25). If the creation of the heavens and the earth was finished with God's satisfied smile and admiration, the creation of the family ends with the oneness of a married couple who resembles God's image. The smile of the Creator is also depicted behind the image of a couple happy as they become one (Genesis 2:25). However, this harmony and happiness is broken by the wrong conversation and subsequent actions (Genesis 3:1-7). And the change is made through the dialogue and hands of God (Genesis 3:8-24). Genuine dialogue is a prerequisite for harmony and happiness.
