Seven Steps to a Good Marriage - Stephen Martin - February 1979

Stephen Martin

President Jimmy Carter said, prior to his inauguration, that the strength of a nation lies in its family unit; I agree with him. God is very much concerned with the family concept. He instructed Adam and Eve to begin the first human family. This is patterned after the heavenly family that God is developing, and it will involve us. When God draws analogies to show His relationship to us, He uses terms that illustrate a family. Jesus Christ, we are told, loves the Church like a husband is supposed to love his wife (Ephesians 5:23-32). God reveals Himself as fulfilling both the roles of father and mother. We see God's love illustrated through the mother's role in Isaiah 49:15. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
