II. A Goal-Oriented Foundation
- God gave Eve to Adam and they were brought together as husband and wife. Here is what Adam says, “Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother and shall cleave unto his wife, and they shall be one flesh.”
- 1,126 words into the Bible, as soon as we have man and woman the concept of marriage is defined. You have two and they come together, and you have one, and that oneness was defined by God.
- It happens emotionally, it happens spiritual, and in the act of lovemaking the couple becomes one physically.
- The goal is oneness. The goal is togetherness. The goal in a marriage and a family is unity. The goal is to leave and cleave.
- If the foundation is to be firm, strong and lasting, it must be a God-oriented foundation.
- It must also be a goal-oriented foundation. That is what gives a family unity. You have a goal. You are working toward oneness.
