Understanding God's will for marriage.

Ephesians 5:21-25 "Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. 23" For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.  5:24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.25" Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;  It's important to Find God’s Will (purpose) in marriage. Getting married to the wrong person will make you experience "earth fire" while in the marriage. (Marry your own)
*A Man/woman wants a partner who Is all round mature. Mature Spiritually and in spiritual warfare, mature in reasoning, mature financially, mature emotionally, mature academically, mature in neatness, mature psychologically, and also mature in kitchen matters. Gods purpose for instituting marriage!
*Gods will for the couple is to reflect His glory/ image. Gen 1:27" So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
*Gods intention for couples is to raise Godly seed(children). Gen1:28.Mal 2:15"And did not God make [you and your wife] one [flesh]? Did not One make you and preserve your spirit alive? And why [did God make you two] one? Because He sought a godly offspring [from your union]. Therefore take heed to yourselves, and let no one deal treacherously and be faithless to the wife of his youth.
*Gods intention for the couple is to make a Christ based family unit. Genesis  2:24" Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
*God's intention for couples is that they will survive storms and flourish through the seasons of life together. (For better for worst concept).
*Gods intention for couple is Marital oneness or agreement. Genesis  2:21-25" And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;  2:22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.  2:23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.  2:24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.  2:25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
