PERSONAL STUDY
A) In a world of stress and problems why would it be important to take the time to rest and reflect on
God? How can this help us as a society and individual cope with our problems?
B) Notice that marriage was setup before sin and that God called them to fill the Earth. The Lord set up a
home (Eden), a job (take care of the animals), and then the call to fill the Earth. In our lives what are some of
the needs that God provides for His people before and during marriage?
C) Because there was no one else why would it be a bad thing for Adam to be alone? Notice the job God
needed done and why two people where needed. In our life what is something we can do single and things
we can do in marriage?
D) The Bible looks at a marriage as a joining of two people. This means both partners represent each
other. They become one in that if one hurt so does the other. If one is happy then both are happy. Even in
our society, we make it against the law to incriminate oneself, that goes for married couples and not forced to
testify against your spouse.
E) Knowing all of this we should treat a potential spouse as a person who you can be one with. If single,
what changes should we make before getting married and being ready for a potential spouse? What
changes should we make if you’re married so you can be a solid union? Remember we should look at the
person as close as you’re left side of the body is no better or weaker then you’re right.
F) Knowing you was created and not formed by accident, how does this make you feel about having
purpose in the world?
