♦-1-♦
I marvel how two people who are strangers,
Have their hearts knit so seamlessly in love,
Nor how they choose to live jointly in union,
As king and queen, with grace from God above.
And yet I’m sure that true love comes from Jesus,
For He ordained true marriage in Eden,
And still today He’s willing to ordain one,
For still the King of kings is caring now as then.

♦-2-♦
I am appalled how a man and his dear wife,
Can forget love, and instead cherish hate,
Nor why they should behave like mere infidels,
As they fault find, quarrel, fight and debate.
But I believe if Christ begins a fam’ly,
There will be seen love, care, respect with joy,
If in the pair the Holy Spirit leadeth,
Then will their joy and peace, the Prince of Peace deploy.

♦-3-♦
I am amazed how marriage can be restored,
On Earth today as it is in God’s word.
Bringing the picture of the true Christian home,
A family, well-disciplined and ordered,
Verily sure the Rod will restore our homes,
When fully lived by parents and children,
And by politeness, courtesy and patience,
In time the King of kings in our homes will reign.

3SC2: 7.2.4; Series page: SRS 289
Upon the occasion of the Pharisees’ questioning Christ, after their characteristic fashion, as touching the sacred institution of marriage, “Jesus pointed His hearers back to the… institution as ordained at creation….He referred them to the blessed days of Eden, when God pronounced all things ‘very good.’ Then marriage and the Sabbath had their origin, twin institutions for the glory of God in the benefit of humanity. Then, asthe Creator joined the hands of the holy pair in wedlock, saying, ‘A man shall leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife; and they shall be one,’ [Gen. 2:24], He enunciated the law of marriage for all the children of Adam to the close of time. That which the eternal Father Himself had pro-nounced good, was the law of highest blessing and development for man.”–“Mount of Blessing,” pp. 99, 100. Furthermore, the fact that a doctrine which forbids marriages is a doctrine of devils (I Tim. 4:1-3), shows not only that marriage is an everlasting institution, but also that in the time of the restitution of all things, it is of great import, for were it not so, the devils would not waste a moment in attacking it.
