Jesus pointed to Gn.2 as the picture of the ideal marriage, so our approach is to study the ideal in Gn.2, then see what harmed marriage in Gn.3, then see what the rest of Scripture teaches about how to get back to Gn.2. The initial problem was aloneness, which was solved by the creation of Eve. When Adam saw her he was delighted (loneliness problem solved), but not because of anything Eve did. It was because of Adam’s delight in Eve. The solution to loneliness is not being loved, but loving. The first step in increasing your love is increasing your esteem. Do that by seeing the image of God in your spouse, by realizing your spouse is Christ’s sibling, and by considering the price that was paid for your spouse. Your marriage is crucially important to God!
